How much does a Clinical Director earn in New Jersey?

Clinical Director roles we recruit across the US are advertised at roughly $105k – $165k, typically $105k entry, $130k mid-career and $165k at senior or supervisory level. In New Jersey, where an individual offer lands inside that range is driven by licensure, setting, caseload and local cost of living rather than a state-wide average. High-density ABA and school-based market that competes for the same clinicians as New York and Philadelphia.

What changes a Clinical Director offer in New Jersey

LPC, LCSW and LMFT are separately licensed.
Setting: Multi-site ABA providers, Community mental health organizations, Pediatric therapy groups price differently for the same credential.
Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
Scarcity: Growing fast as private-equity-backed and multi-site providers professionalize. The hardest part is finding clinicians who can lead without losing clinical credibility.

Why we do not publish a NJ average

We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a New Jersey average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
