**Therapists, let’s talk W2 vs. 1099.**
Because your labor deserves more than a tax form.
At Pride Counseling Services, we offer **W2 employment**—and we do it intentionally. Here’s why it matters:
💸 **No surprise tax bills.** We handle payroll taxes, so you’re not stuck scrambling in April.
🛡️ **Real benefits.** Health, dental, vision, PTO, and professional development support—because burnout isn’t a badge of honor.
📚 **Paid trainings + CEUs.** Growth shouldn’t come out of your own pocket.
🧠 **Clinical support.** You’re not flying solo. We offer consultation, collaboration, and a team that has your back.
🏳️🌈 **Values-aligned care.** We center LGBTQ+ clients and therapists. No code-switching. No compromise.
1099 might look flexible—but it often means isolation, instability, and unpaid admin work.
W2 means you get to **show up as a therapist** - not a hustling entrepreneur.
