Job description

Millions of people across the country are navigating mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, but too often, they're met with barriers to care. From limited local options and long wait times to treatment that lacks personalization, behavioral healthcare can leave people feeling unseen and unsupported.

Charlie Health exists to change that. Our mission is to connect the world to life-saving behavioral health treatment. We deliver personalized, virtual care rooted in connection—between clients and clinicians, care teams, loved ones, and the communities that support them. By focusing on people with complex needs, we're expanding access to meaningful care and driving better outcomes from the comfort of home.

As a rapidly growing organization, we're reaching more communities every day and building a team that's redefining what behavioral health treatment can look like. If you're ready to use your skills to drive lasting change and help more people access the care they deserve, we'd love to meet you.

At Charlie Health, we prioritize an exceptional employee experience. Our Operations team handles all of the administrative complexities, so our clinicians can focus on what they like to do best : providing high-quality mental health care.

We also believe clinicians deserve an exceptional compensation and benefits package.

In addition to market-leading compensation, we offer a ton of benefits :

• 401K with matching
• Wellness stipend
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Free online CEU trainings
• Malpractice liability insurance
• Competitive compensation for your session work and administrative work
• A full caseload of motivated clients
• Dedicated business support from Operations, HR, and IT professionals
• 24 / 7 Employee Assistance Program to support mental health and a balanced lifestyle
• Opportunity for cross-licensure sponsorship if eligible
• Transparent scheduling - know your schedule ahead of time
• PTO includes : vacation, sick leave, and certain federal holidays
• Reimbursement for new license applications

We're hiring 100% remote therapists!

We're hiring independently-licensed clinicians with the licenses listed below. We unfortunately are not able to hire junior-licensed clinicians at this time.

• LISW, LMHC, LMFT

The Provider Experience at Charlie Health :

• Flexibility : Our virtual program allows clinicians the ability to work from home or wherever they are most comfortable.
• Support : All of our clinicians receive support from a full time Admissions and Assessment team so that our talented clinicians can focus on what matters most–providing exceptional care to our clients.
• Consistency : We are busy and we will make sure to keep your calendar as full as you want it to be. Groups are scheduled at the same time weekly as are individual sessions, so you know what your schedule will be ahead of time.
• Ability to Develop Strong Relationships with Incredible Clients : We may be biased, but we think our clients are incredible. With a maximum of 8 clients in a group, we allow you the opportunity to build strong relationships with clients and do in depth work to create sustainable healing.
• Collaboration : All Charlie Health clinicians participate in case discussions, which allow you to leverage the expertise of others to develop new skills and think outside the box.
• Free CEUs : Charlie Health provides all clinical staff with access to free, online CEUs to meet licensing requirements and explore topics of interest
• 100% Remote : work from anywhere in the USA.
• AI-Powered Documentation : We know that clinical documentation can be extremely cumbersome. At Charlie Health, providers have access to an AI-powered virtual scribe that streamlines clinical documentation and summarizes key points of client sessions
