About the Remote Licensed Therapist (1099 Contractor) role at Headspace
Headspace is currently seeking a part‑time, independently licensed contractor DC therapist to provide direct, virtual care as part of a multidisciplinary team on a 1099 contract basis.
We strongly encourage having 10+ hours available per week with full flexibility to adjust; additional hours are welcome depending on your schedule. Due to care demand and member scheduling fluctuations, it may take several weeks to achieve a consistent schedule.

Exact reimbursement rates will be determined during the interview process and are based on factors including location, licensure type, experience, specializations, languages spoken, and populations treated.
Session length is 60 minutes for an intake and 45 minutes for a follow‑up appointment, with concurrent note‑taking expected and included in the session rate. All Headspace therapists must be licensed and reside in the United States. All work must be provided within the U.S. – personal health information may not be accessed, disclosed, or used outside the U.S. (the U.S. is limited to the 50 states).
