Recently received my CSW license and have started working as a therapist at an outpatient clinic. Is a starting salary of $64,500 fair? I am supposed to aim for 28 billing hours (get paid if clients show or not) a week with 12 hours of admin time for other tasks. Thanks for any input.

That sounds about right for starting salary

Yes, I think that is a fair and competitive place to start. Keep in mind, they are starting you there to allow for them to increase your pay as an incentive over time and years of service. Also, don’t forget to factor in the benefits they may be offering you in addition to salary, as to buy those on the open market would be very costly.
