Lime Tree Counseling is a private-pay group practice in Ambler, PA, founded in 2018. We work with adults and couples across Pennsylvania who look fine on the outside and are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship strain.

We're known for responding to every inquiry within one business day and for a clear, structured client process. Clients know what early, middle, and later sessions look like. We offer optional Christian counseling for clients who ask for it. It is never assumed.

Our values shape how we work with clients and each other:

• Clarity. We’re open about our intentions, goals, and methods.
• Realistic optimism. We name the hard parts of life alongside the hope.
• Discovery. We keep learning so we can serve clients and each other better.
• Partnership. We work toward the goals clients set for themselves.

And yes, there’s an office therapy dog. His name is Joey.

• Provide individual and couples therapy to adults, plus teens 14 and older if that’s part of your experience, in person in Ambler and by telehealth.
• Run a strong first session: set expectations, agree on top goals with the client, and get a treatment plan in place by session 3.
• Complete progress notes within 24 hours of each session.
• Submit a short weekly report every Friday on sessions, cancellations, and open slots.
• Meet monthly 1:1 with the Director of Operations on caseload, clinical questions, and growth.
• Join team meetings, group supervision, and trainings.

• Pay: Competitive, discussed during interviews
• Referrals come to you. Our website and local search presence generate a steady flow of inquiries, and we respond to every one within a business day.
• Admin handled. Intake, scheduling, intake paperwork are managed by our Client Care Coordinator.
• Growth tier benefits for clinicians averaging 22+ sessions/week: 5% bonus on clinical pay, $300/month health insurance stipend, and $200/year toward CEUs.
• Supervision and consultation with experienced LPCs, including support toward full licensure if you’re an associate.
• Ready-made systems: clear SOPs, client email templates, and online self-scheduling for existing clients.
• A real team. Monthly 1:1s, group supervision, and colleagues who actually talk to each other.
• A comfortable Ambler office plus telehealth flexibility.
• W2 employment
  : a real paycheck with taxes withheld, no self-employment tax, and no quarterly estimates to manage. That includes a 401(k) with a 4% employer match for all employees, part-time included.
