Opening in Private Practice in Warner Robins
From Susan Feehan, LCSW:Hello Social Workers and Professional Clinicians,I am sending a reply all to this email to distribute the word and ask
that you forward it to anyone you think might be interested. We have a
terrific, lucrative, private practice opportunity for a licensed
clinician in our Warner Robins office of Psychological Offices. Our
books stay completely filled and one of our clinicians is preparing to
retire - we have office space and a ready set-up for someone motivated to
walk into a successful practice. If you know of a clinician who might be
a good fit please have them call either me or Dr. Susan Davenport at
478-922-2365. Thanks and please pass the word!Susan Feehan, LCSW
