• US Residence & Compliance: Must reside and deliver care within the 50 US States (excluding US territories like Puerto Rico) due to health data privacy and PHI regulations.

Experience & Skills

• 3+ years of professional experience providing clinical psychotherapy to individuals, couples, or families.
• Ability to commit to at least 10 hours per week of bookable appointment slots.
• Clinical competence in evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness) and experience handling higher acuity/risk management cases.
• Commitment to delivering culturally responsive, inclusive care.
• Technical proficiency with virtual care delivery tools, EMR platforms, Google Workspace apps, and Zoom.
• Dedicated, private workspace with a secure and reliable high-speed internet connection.

• Multilingual clinical capabilities.
• Familiarity with the Headspace mobile application and mindfulness content ecosystem.

Network Benefits & Support

• Administrative Operations: Dedicated support teams handle scheduling, billing, and operational logistics so you can focus entirely on clinical care.
