Job description

Rula Health is seeking a compassionate and licensed Mental Health Therapist to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team within a mission-driven, tech-forward environment. As part of the broader Rula Technologies family, you will practice in a setting that combines high-quality clinical care with innovative digital tools designed to improve access, experience, and outcomes for clients. Rula Technologies specializes in innovative tech solutions aimed at improving digital interfaces and user experiences, and this same spirit of innovation informs the way Rula Health delivers mental healthcare. We offer a dynamic and inclusive work culture that promotes creativity, teamwork, and continuous learning, enabling you to focus on what matters most: exceptional client care.

In this role, you will provide individual, couple, and family psychotherapy to a diverse population of clients across the lifespan, primarily in an outpatient setting using a combination of in-person and secure telehealth services. You will conduct comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, formulate DSM-5 diagnoses, and collaborate with clients to create person-centered treatment plans that reflect their goals, strengths, and cultural context. Drawing on evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed approaches, you will deliver structured, goal-oriented interventions that support symptom reduction, skill building, and overall well-being.

You will be responsible for completing thorough risk assessments, safety plans, and appropriate crisis interventions when clients present with elevated risk or acute distress, ensuring that care is safe, ethical, and responsive. Accurate, timely documentation in an Electronic Health Record system will be an essential part of your work, from initial assessments and progress notes to treatment plan reviews and discharge summaries, all in compliance with HIPAA, payer guidelines, and professional standards. You will collaborate closely with psychiatrists, primary care providers, care coordinators, and other behavioral health professionals, contributing to an integrated, whole-person model of care.

Rula Health’s technology-enabled platform will support your practice with secure telehealth capabilities, digital intake and screening tools, and data-informed insights into outcomes and client engagement. You will use these tools to monitor progress through standardized measures, refine treatment approaches based on clinical response, and participate in quality improvement initiatives that enhance service effectiveness. The role includes opportunities for case consultation, peer learning, and, where applicable, clinical supervision, reflecting our commitment to continuous professional development.

Our culture emphasizes inclusivity, respect, and collaboration. You will be encouraged to bring your clinical expertise, curiosity, and authentic self to the work, contributing to a team that values diverse perspectives and shared problem-solving. In return, Rula Health offers a stable, full-time position with competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a flexible, hybrid work environment that balances remote care with on-site collaboration when needed. This position is ideal for a therapist who is passionate about evidence-based practice, energized by technology’s role in expanding access to care, and committed to making a measurable impact on the mental health and quality of life of clients in the community.
