At Alliance Counseling Associates, a full-time employee is defined based on their role and scheduling commitments to ensure both productivity and well-being. For hourly therapists, full-time status is achieved when they schedule 24 or more client hours per week. This allows flexibility while ensuring that they can deliver consistent, high-quality care to our clients.

For salaried clinicians, full-time status is defined by scheduling 28 client hours per week, integrated into our signature Anti-Burnout Equation™ schedule. This model caps the total work week at 40 hours, strategically balancing client sessions with necessary administrative tasks, professional development, and creative work opportunities. This approach not only aligns with our commitment to providing exceptional mental health services but also supports the long-term health and career sustainability of our clinicians. By adhering to this structured schedule, our team can maintain a healthy work-life balance, prevent burnout, and uphold the highest standards of care.

*We only provide a salary option for full-time Clinicians who are following our Anti-Burnout Equation™ schedule.

PTO and Working Schedule for Full-Time Clinicians at Alliance Counseling Associates

For Hourly Full-Time Clinicians: At Alliance, we value the hard work and dedication of our hourly full-time clinicians. That's why we offer a generous PTO accrual system. You will earn 1 hour of PTO for every 12 hours of client contact, with the opportunity to accrue up to 25 hours of PTO per quarter. This ensures that even during your busiest periods, you have ample time to relax and recharge.

For Salaried Full-Time Clinicians: If you join us as a salaried full-time clinician, you'll benefit from an exceptionally supportive PTO policy designed to promote work-life balance. You will receive four full weeks of PTO each year, along with seven paid holidays. This structured time off equates to you actively working about 10.85 months per year, giving you over a month of time each year to enjoy life outside of work.

A Closer Look at Your Year: Over a typical year, you will work for approximately 47 weeks, with the remaining time allocated to your well-deserved PTO and holidays. This schedule allows you to plan for substantial breaks, ensuring you can rest and return to work feeling refreshed and invigorated. It's part of our commitment to maintaining the well-being of our team, which in turn enhances the quality of care provided to our clients.
