Build a Career You're Proud Of
Join Tampa’s most established boutique mental health practice, where exceptional clinicians are supported, valued, and given the opportunity to do their best work. As the leading mental health private practice group in Tampa, Florida, we are constantly looking to make the perfect addition to our excellent team – whether it’s in a part-time or full-time position.
More Than a Place to Work
We believe exceptional therapy begins with exceptional clinicians.
That’s why we’ve intentionally built a practice where therapists are supported both professionally and personally. We celebrate one another’s successes, collaborate through challenges, continue learning together, and genuinely enjoy coming to work.
Our goal has never been to become the largest practice.
Our goal has always been to be the most respected and valued.
A Message From Our Founder
When I founded Tampa Therapy, my vision was never to build the largest practice. It was to build a place where exceptional clinicians could do the work they love while feeling genuinely supported, respected, and connected to a team that shares their commitment to providing outstanding care.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of training graduate students, mentoring developing clinicians, and working alongside psychologists, counselors, physicians, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams across hospitals, community mental health, medical settings, and private practice. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for what truly distinguishes an exceptional therapist. While clinical knowledge is essential, I believe the very best therapists also possess warmth, humility, sound clinical judgment, curiosity, professionalism, and a genuine desire to continue growing throughout their careers.
Those are the qualities I look for every time I hire.
Building this team is one of the responsibilities I take most seriously. Every clinician who joins Tampa Therapy is carefully selected not only for their clinical abilities, but for the way they care for people, collaborate with colleagues, and represent the values of our practice.
Just as important, I believe exceptional therapists deserve an exceptional workplace. My goal has always been to create an environment where clinicians feel supported, trusted, and empowered to focus on what they do best—helping clients create meaningful change. That means providing thoughtful administrative support, a collaborative team culture, beautiful office spaces, and a practice that values quality over quantity.
If you’re looking for more than simply another job, if you’re looking for a place to build a meaningful, fulfilling career, I would be honored to learn more about you.
— Dr. Elyssa Barbash, Founder
Why Clinicians Choose Tampa Therapy
Exceptional clinicians deserve an exceptional place to practice. We’ve intentionally built an environment where therapists can focus on providing meaningful care while feeling supported every step of the way.
Thoughtfully Matched Referrals
We believe successful therapy begins with the right fit. Every referral is thoughtfully matched based on the client’s needs, goals, personality, and your areas of expertise. Rather than simply filling schedules, we strive to connect clinicians with the clients they are best equipped to help.
A Boutique Practice with High Standards
We intentionally remain a boutique private-pay practice because it allows us to prioritize quality over volume. We believe clinicians do their best work when they have the time, support, and professional autonomy to provide exceptional care—not when they’re expected to maximize numbers.
Comprehensive Administrative Support
From scheduling and intake coordination to billing and client communication, our administrative team manages the day-to-day logistics so you can devote your energy to clinical work. Our goal is simple: remove unnecessary distractions so you can focus on your clients.
Beautiful Spaces Designed for Therapy
Our offices are thoughtfully designed to create an environment that feels calm, welcoming, and professional for both clinicians and clients. We believe the space where therapy happens matters, and we’ve created an atmosphere that reflects the level of care we strive to provide.
A Culture of Collaboration
Private practice doesn’t have to feel isolating. We value connection, consultation, and supporting one another as colleagues. Whether celebrating successes, discussing challenging cases, or simply sharing everyday moments, we believe great teams make great therapists.
A Place to Build a Career
We’re not looking to become the biggest practice: we’re committed to maintaining our position as the most respected. We seek clinicians who are passionate about growing professionally, committed to lifelong learning, and interested in building long-term relationships with both clients and colleagues.
When our clinicians thrive, our clients thrive, and that’s the foundation of everything we do.
Who Thrives at Tampa Therapy Group?
We’re intentional about who joins our team because our culture is one of our greatest strengths. While every clinician brings unique experiences and perspectives, we’ve found that the therapists who thrive here tend to share a common set of values.

A Beautiful, Professional Environment
The environment where therapy takes place matters. Our offices are intentionally designed to feel warm, welcoming, and professional—creating a space where both clinicians and clients feel comfortable from the moment they arrive.
Collaboration Without Micromanagement
We value independence while recognizing the importance of having trusted colleagues to turn to when needed. Our clinicians enjoy the autonomy of private practice with the support of a collaborative team.
A Reputation That Opens Doors
Over the years, Tampa Therapy Group has earned the trust of physicians, attorneys, healthcare providers, and former clients throughout the Tampa Bay community. That reputation has been built through years of consistently providing thoughtful, ethical, high-quality care, and every clinician who joins our practice becomes part of that legacy.
A Practice Built for Long-Term Success
We’re committed to creating an environment where clinicians can build meaningful careers—not simply maintain a schedule. Our goal is to foster long-term professional growth through a culture of excellence, support, and continual learning.
When our clinicians feel supported, our clients receive the very best care. Every decision we make as a practice is guided by that belief.
