For Healthcare Organizations
Therapist Recruiters
Licensed therapists are the backbone of community behavioral health, and the shortage of independently licensed clinicians has made every LCSW, LPC, and LMFT search competitive. MedStaff Nationwide recruits master's-level clinicians who are ready to move and licensed for the work you need.
We stand behind every placement — any candidate who doesn't complete onboarding is replaced at no cost.

What makes therapist hiring hard
Independent versus associate licensure
Billing and supervision rules depend on full licensure. We verify license level and any supervision hours still outstanding.
Caseload and documentation burden
Productivity expectations and note-writing time are the top reasons therapists leave. We confirm your model fits the candidate.
Telehealth competition
National teletherapy platforms recruit heavily. We help you position schedule flexibility and clinical support to compete.
How we vet every therapist
- LCSW, LPC, LMHC, or LMFT licensure at the independent level verified
- Modalities and populations (CBT, DBT, EMDR, child, SUD) documented
- Telehealth experience and multi-state licensure noted
- Productivity expectations and caseload comfort confirmed
- Clinical supervision credentials checked for lead roles
- References from clinical directors

FAQ
Therapist recruiting, answered
- How much does it cost to hire therapists through MedStaff Nationwide?
- We work on contingency: there is no retainer and no fee until your therapist starts. The placement fee is a percentage of first-year base compensation, agreed in writing before the search begins, and every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
- How long does a therapist search take?
- Our average time-to-fill across permanent clinical searches is 27 days from signed agreement to accepted offer. Therapists searches in competitive markets can run longer; your recruiter sets a realistic timeline during intake and reports against it weekly.
- Do you recruit associate-level or provisionally licensed therapists?
- When a client provides clinical supervision, yes. Most searches target independently licensed clinicians, and we tell you which profile your role can attract.
- What happens if the clinician leaves?
- Every placement is covered by our replacement guarantee. If a placed clinician does not complete onboarding, we re-run the search at no additional cost. Our 12-month retention rate across placements is 96%.
