Compensation that reflects your value

At Two Chairs, you’re not just paid for sessions—you’re paid for the full scope of your work, from client care to documentation and no-shows. You also have the flexibility to see clients elsewhere or maintain your private practice while still working at Two Chairs.

Many mental health therapist jobs out there are contractor roles. But at Two Chairs, our therapists are W-2 employees with competitive pay, simplified taxes, paid sick leave, and access to a 401(k).

What this looks like in practice

Meet Kelsey

A part-time therapist in CA who earns $70 per hour. Last week she:
  • Saw 9 clients and had 1 no-show
  • Spent 2 hours on admin and manager check-ins
Because she’s paid for more than just sessions, she took home pay for 12 hours—bringing her weekly effective rate per attended session to $93.30*
*Weekly effective rate varies based on geo location, client caseload, no-shows, cancellations under 48 hours and admin time.

Benefits
