Candidates who are not currently NY-based will not be considered for this position. Employment type: W-2, Full-Time Compensation: Starting at $40/hr (clinical) | $20/hr (admin & community engagement) Most therapy practices treat financial stress as background noise. At Honest Hour, we treat it as clinical material. We're hiring a full-time Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) to join our financial therapy track — a dedicated pathway for clinicians who believe that money, identity, and emotional well-being are deeply connected and want to build a practice that reflects that. This isn't a financial coaching role.
