Job description

Why Charlie Health?

We are currently facing a nationwide mental health epidemic marked by rising rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders, and suicide. At the same time, those seeking help often encounter barriers—whether geographic, financial, or systemic—that prevent them from receiving timely and effective care. This urgent need calls for a reimagined approach to behavioral health treatment.

At Charlie Health, our mission is to connect the world to life-saving mental health treatment. Our innovative virtual programs combine curated group sessions, individual therapy, and family therapy, delivered through personalized, evidence-based treatment plans designed for sustainable healing from the comfort of home. By connecting individuals with shared experiences and fostering supportive communities, Charlie Health provides a pathway to long-term recovery, with over 90% of our clients seeing improvement in their most challenging mental health symptoms.

Every member of our team shares a deep commitment to this mission. If you’re driven to make a meaningful impact, we invite you to join us in reshaping the future of mental healthcare.

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 for our full-time staff:

• 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 and junior-licensed clinicians. The below licenses are the senior-license equivalent, but we can and will provide supervision to junior-licensed individuals as well:

This can either be a contract/1099 position or a W2 position.

A contract position allows you the flexibility to schedule sessions and work wherever you are most comfortable. We request that our clinicians be able to dedicate a minimum of 12 hours per week to facilitate group sessions and take on individual and/or family sessions.
