A Message From Our Founder
Building the Practice That Would Set the Standard in Tampa
When I founded Tampa Therapy Group in 2016, I was not interested in building an ordinary group practice. My vision was to create the most trusted and clinically respected psychotherapy practice in Tampa: a place known for exceptional care, exceptional clinicians, and a client experience that consistently exceeded expectations.
That vision has shaped every decision I have made. Long before many of the group practices now operating in Tampa existed, we were establishing a standard of clinical excellence, professionalism, warmth, and individualized care that helped Tampa Therapy become the area’s most recognized and sought-after mental health practice.
We did not build this position through rapid expansion or aggressive advertising. We earned it over time. Clients recommended us to their families and friends. Physicians, attorneys, schools, and other professionals trusted us with their referrals. Our online visibility grew organically because the community repeatedly sought us out, engaged with our work, and recognized the quality associated with our name.
As a psychologist, supervisor, mentor, and consultant to clinicians across the country, I have had the opportunity to work with professionals at every stage of their careers. Those experiences have reinforced something I believe deeply: excellent credentials matter, but truly exceptional therapists also possess compassion, humility, curiosity, integrity, emotional intelligence, and an unwavering commitment to their clients.
Every clinician who joins Tampa Therapy Group is selected with great intention. Our team is the heart of our reputation, and I take seriously the responsibility of choosing professionals who will both benefit from what we have built and help carry our standard forward.
My goal is not merely to offer clinicians a place to see clients. It is to provide a professional home where talented therapists can develop respected careers, work alongside excellent colleagues, receive meaningful support, and feel proud of the practice they represent.
If you are looking for a place where your work will be valued and where the name behind you already stands for excellence, I’d be honored to learn your story.

An Established Practice. An Exceptional Career Opportunity.
Tampa Therapy Group offers clinicians something that cannot be created overnight: the opportunity to build their careers within a practice that has already earned the trust of the community.
For more than a decade, we have cultivated relationships with clients, families, physicians, attorneys, schools, and other respected professionals throughout the Tampa Bay area. The majority of our growth has occurred organically through word of mouth, professional referrals, repeat community recognition, and the visibility that comes from consistently being the first practice people discover when searching for exceptional therapy in Tampa.
Our clinicians do not have to begin by convincing the community that their practice is credible. They step into a name that is already recognized, recommended, and associated with a high standard of care.
We pair that established foundation with thoughtful administrative support, intentional client matching, beautiful offices, professional autonomy, sustainable caseload expectations, and a team culture centered on clinical excellence. The result is an opportunity to focus on becoming an outstanding therapist and building a meaningful long-term career without carrying every responsibility of operating a practice alone.
Why Clinicians Choose Tampa Therapy Group
We’ve intentionally built a practice where clinicians can focus on what they do best: providing exceptional care while being supported by a team that values excellence, collaboration, and long-term success.
Beautiful Spaces
Our offices are intentionally designed to feel warm, welcoming, and professional, creating an environment where both clinicians and clients feel comfortable from the moment they walk through the door.
Highly Competitive Compensation
Our compensation structure is designed to reward experienced clinicians while providing the support, referrals, and administrative infrastructure needed to build a successful and sustainable career.
Collaborative Culture
Private practice doesn’t have to feel isolating. We foster a culture where clinicians genuinely support one another, celebrate successes, consult when needed, and enjoy being part of a connected team.
Thoughtfully Matched Clients
Referrals are reviewed carefully and matched according to clinical expertise, client needs, personality, scheduling preferences, and therapeutic fit. Our goal is not simply to fill an opening, but to help you build a caseload of clients with whom you can do meaningful and effective work.
Sustainable Caseloads
We believe exceptional care requires time, presence, and balance. Our full-time clinicians typically maintain approximately 20–24 client sessions per week, allowing them to build fulfilling careers without sacrificing quality of care.
Built for Long-Term Growth
Whether you’re early in your career or an experienced clinician, we’re committed to creating a place where you can continue learning, growing, and building a career you’re proud of.
The Advantage of Joining the Established Market Leader
Building Alone
- Establishing a name from the beginning
- Generating and screening every inquiry
- Creating referral relationships
- Managing scheduling, billing, and client communication
- Maintaining a website and online presence
- Handling difficult administrative situations independently
- Working without built-in consultation or collegial support
Building Your Career at Tampa Therapy
- Joining a recognized and trusted practice
- Benefiting from established organic and professional referrals
- Receiving thoughtfully screened and matched inquiries
- Relying on a dedicated administrative structure
- Practicing under a respected and highly visible brand
- Having leadership and support when challenges arise
- Working alongside carefully selected colleagues
Solo practice can offer independence, but it also requires a clinician to build and manage an entire business. Tampa Therapy Group offers professional autonomy within an established infrastructure, allowing you to devote more of your time and energy to exceptional clinical work and long-term career development.
Is Tampa Therapy Group the Right Fit for You?
Clinical experience is important, but it’s only part of what makes someone an exceptional therapist. We look for clinicians who share our values, care deeply about their clients, and are committed to continuous growth. While every member of our team brings unique strengths and perspectives, the clinicians who thrive here tend to have these qualities in common.
You Pursue Clinical Excellence
You believe becoming a great therapist is a lifelong journey. You’re committed to growing your clinical skills, staying current with research, seeking consultation when needed, and continually refining your craft.
You Lead with Compassion
You recognize that every client has a unique story. You meet people with empathy, respect, and curiosity, creating a space where they feel safe, understood, and supported.
You Value Relationships and Collaboration
You understand that exceptional care begins with genuine human connection. You also value being part of a collaborative team where colleagues encourage one another, share ideas, and celebrate each other’s successes.
You're Looking for More Than Your Next Job
You’re looking for a place where you can build meaningful relationships, continue growing professionally, and become part of something you’re proud to represent. If you’re searching for a long-term professional home rather than simply another position, we’d love to get to know you.
You Practice with Integrity
You hold yourself to a high professional standard. You communicate thoughtfully, act ethically, and understand that the trust clients place in you is something to be honored every day.
You Take Pride in the Practice You Represent
You understand that every interaction contributes to the experience and reputation of the practice. You communicate professionally, follow through reliably, care about the quality of the client experience, and want to be associated with a team known for excellence.
Our Reputation Is Built by the People We Hire
Tampa Therapy Group has earned its reputation through the quality of the clinicians who represent it. For that reason, we are highly intentional about every person invited to join our team.
We look for strong clinical training and meaningful experience, but credentials alone are not enough. Our clinicians must also demonstrate excellent judgment, emotional intelligence, professionalism, dependability, warmth, integrity, and a sincere commitment to outstanding client care.
We do not hire simply to fill an office or increase the size of our team. We select clinicians who elevate the practice, strengthen our culture, and uphold the standard the Tampa Bay community has come to expect from us.
Joining Tampa Therapy Group is an opportunity to benefit from an established reputation. It is also a responsibility to help preserve and advance it.
Exceptional Care, Regardless of How Services Are Accessed
Our standard of care is not defined by a payment model. It is defined by the quality of our clinicians, the thoughtfulness of our treatment, the experience we provide, and the outcomes we work to create for every client.
As Tampa Therapy Group evolves, we remain committed to expanding access carefully and intentionally without compromising the qualities that made our practice exceptional. Whether a client accesses care privately or through a participating benefit, our clinical expectations remain the same.
We will continue to protect thoughtful treatment planning, appropriate session frequency, individualized care, ethical decision-making, and the professional autonomy required to provide effective psychotherapy.
A Referral Network Earned Over More Than a Decade
Connecting the Right Client With the Right Therapist.
Tampa Therapy Group has become the most recognized and recommended therapy practice in the Tampa Bay area. Much of our growth has occurred organically through word of mouth, former clients, community recognition, physicians, attorneys, schools, other mental health professionals, and individuals who seek us out because of the reputation associated with our name.
This provides our clinicians with an important professional advantage. Rather than being expected to create a personal brand, generate leads, or independently establish a referral network, they join a practice with an existing stream of inquiries and deep roots within the community.
We are equally intentional about what happens after an inquiry reaches us. Our team considers the client’s needs, goals, preferences, personality, availability, and presenting concerns alongside each clinician’s expertise, style, interests, and schedule.
We do not simply assign a client to the next available clinician. We work to create strong therapeutic matches that support client retention, meaningful clinical work, and better long-term outcomes.
The result is not merely a busier caseload. It is a more thoughtfully built one.
Inside Tampa Therapy
Your professional environment influences how you feel about your work and how clients experience their care. Our offices were intentionally designed to reflect the quality, warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail associated with the Tampa Therapy name.
Our clinicians work in beautiful, fully furnished spaces without assuming the cost and responsibility of leasing, designing, maintaining, and operating an office independently.
FAQ
Will I need to find my own clients?
No. Tampa Therapy Group has an established referral network and strong organic visibility developed over more than a decade. Many inquiries come through word of mouth, former clients, physicians, attorneys, schools, professional relationships, community recognition, and people who seek out our practice directly. Our administrative team handles new-client inquiries and works to match appropriate referrals with each clinician.
What types of clients does Tampa Therapy Group serve?
Our clinicians work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and more. While many of our clinicians have trauma expertise, we value diverse specialties that allow us to serve our community comprehensively.
What is a typical full-time caseload?
Our full-time clinicians typically maintain a caseload of approximately 20–24 client sessions per week. We’ve intentionally designed our practice around sustainable caseloads because we believe exceptional therapy requires time for preparation, documentation, consultation, and life outside the office.
Do you offer both part-time and full-time opportunities?
Yes. We welcome both part-time and full-time clinicians. During the interview process, we’ll discuss your goals and availability to build a schedule that supports both your professional success and personal well-being. Our full-time clinicians typically maintain a caseload of approximately 20–24 client sessions per week.
What does your interview process look like?
Our hiring process is designed to be thoughtful and conversational. After reviewing your application, qualified candidates are invited to meet with Dr. Elyssa Barbash to discuss clinical interests, professional goals, and what you’re looking for in your next opportunity. We believe hiring should be a mutual decision and encourage candidates to ask plenty of questions along the way.
What makes Tampa Therapy different from other group practices?
Tampa Therapy Group is one of the most established and recognized psychotherapy practices in the area. We held a leading position in the Tampa market long before the majority of today’s local group practices existed. Our reputation, organic visibility, community relationships, selective hiring process, administrative support, and commitment to clinical excellence create an opportunity that extends far beyond office space and referrals.
