Career

The services that HMT LTD provides are in demand. HMT LTD is always willing to consider other mental health providers, speech-language pathologists, independent ABA practitioners, occupational therapists, behavioral coaches, and psychiatric prescribers working with and under the HMT LTD name. However, HMT LTD values quality over quantity so does not currently advertise for clinical partners, because at HMT LTD we only want people with the motivation to find career opportunities on their own.

The benefits of working with HMT LTD

Personal and clinical freedom for independent practitioners (eg. LPCCs, LISWs, IMFTs, Psychologists, Psychiatrists) while having clinical support and business consultation
Make your own schedule
Keep up to 80% of all revenue you generate after covering overhead (depending on how much of the business side of the practice you want to take on)
Work as little or as much as you want (no productivity expectations outside of revenue needed to keep the overhead going)
Referrals from HMT LTD
Deal with insurances only if you want to, build a cash practice…your choice
You may be able to work for other companies/practices
Support and career development from HMT LTD leadership
Association with an established mental health practice
HMT LTD can provide work supervision (and therefore allow some insurance billing) for many mental health providers who are not yet fully licensed including, licensed professional counselors (LPC), social workers (LSW), and marriage and family therapists (MFT)
HMT LTD may also be willing to assist professional partners to start and advance professional/practice identities outside of HMT LTD if those endeavors complement the services at HMT LTD

And the downsides working for HMT LTD (for some people):

No benefits (Have you seen the crappy health insurance plans available for small businesses if we did provide health insurance? If you have to have crappy insurance, you might as well pick it yourself, that’s our founder’s thoughts).
No paid sick or vacation leave. Since you get to make your own schedule, you can take off whenever you want…but you don’t get paid.
Since pay is based on revenue/production, there is no guaranteed pay. Starting out can be especially challenging, but on the other hand when you get going you likely will make more than most other places.

Personal & Professional Attributes That HMT LTD Looks For

HMT LTD is not a practice for everyone. We pride ourselves on taking appropriate healthy clinical risks with clients, innovation to mental health practice even when controversial, engaging in mental health treatment outside of the office and helping clients other mental health providers don’t want. Additionally, HMT LTD is very lean on administration and focused on automation of most administrative functions. This is why HMT LTD can offer such high reimbursement rates (to our knowledge the best around) to our partners. Attributes that HMT LTD look for in partners include:

Providers who want to work independently but want to have contact and consultation with other providers
Providers with great intelligence and/or have the skills to work with people of great intelligence
Providers who can be very directive and assertive when needed (pure Rogerian/talk therapy providers are not a good fit for HMT LTD)
Providers who are excited to learn, invent and try new therapies/interventions
Providers who are not afraid to be controversial
Providers who take risks (within ethical boundaries)
Providers who are interested in the philosophical and dialectical nature of psychotherapy
Providers who can do their own billing and intake work with automated and technologically advanced systems
Providers who are flexible with the means of communication outside of the therapy office

If you have read all the above and are still interested in being a clinical partner with HMT LTD, fill out the form above so you can chat with our founder to see how HMT LTD can help you advance. Don’t send resumes or anything like that until asked, we want a social business chat first. Mention the word batbert in the describe box of the job contact form. This lets us know you actually read this stuff and have the perception & thoroughness to advance with HMT LTD as a partner. Failure to mention Batbert probably does not inspire confidence in the founder that you could grow at HMT LTD. Batbart does not mean anything, by the way. Just a fun word to say…
