(Build Your 100% Remote Private Practice with Mentalzon)

Embrace the freedom and flexibility of a modern therapy practice. Mentalzon is actively seeking entrepreneurial Licensed Psychologists (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) who are committed to providing exceptional care through a 100% remote, telehealth-based model. Our platform is built for independent practitioners. We handle the marketing to attract a steady stream of client referrals, and you manage your practice—your schedule, your clients, and your clinical approach—all from the comfort of your chosen location. Mentalzon connects you with clients; you provide the therapy using your preferred secure video platform. If you are passionate about clinical work but want to eliminate the commute, overhead, and administrative burdens of a traditional office, this is the opportunity for you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Telehealth Psychotherapy: Deliver high-quality, evidence-based psychological services (including assessment, diagnosis, and treatment) to individuals, couples, or families exclusively via your chosen secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform (e.g., HIPAA-compliant Zoom, Google Meet, Doxy.me, etc.).
• Clinical Excellence: Conduct thorough clinical assessments and formulate treatment plans tailored to the remote therapy environment.
• Compliant Documentation: Maintain timely, accurate, and confidential clinical records in accordance with APA ethical guidelines, HIPAA, and all relevant state laws governing telehealth.
• Independent Practice Management: Manage all client communications, scheduling, and practice policies as an autonomous practitioner.
• Ethical Practice: Adhere strictly to the APA Code of Ethics and all state-specific legal requirements for providing psychological services via telehealth.

Requirements:

• Education: Doctoral Degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in Psychology from an APA-accredited program.
• Licensure: Must possess a current, active, and unrestricted license to practice psychology independently in at least one US state.
• Experience: Verifiable post-licensure experience in providing diagnosis and psychotherapy to diverse client populations.
• Telehealth Proficiency & Setup: Must provide and maintain your own HIPAA-compliant video conferencing solution (e.g., Zoom for Healthcare, Google Workspace, etc.). Must have a professional, private setting suitable for confidential video sessions and reliable high-speed internet.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of HIPAA and the unique ethical and legal considerations of telepsychology.
• Professional Liability Insurance: Must maintain an active malpractice insurance policy.

Skills:

• Strong diagnostic and therapeutic skills, adapted for the teletherapy modality.
• High level of self-motivation, organization, and reliability.
• Excellent digital communication and rapport-building skills.
• Demonstrated cultural competence and empathy.
• Commitment to maintaining the highest standards of remote clinical care.

The Mentalzon Advantage (Conditions of Collaboration):

• Status: Independent Contractor (1099).
• Total Schedule Control: You design your workweek. Whether you want to work 5 hours or 35+, you are in complete control of your availability.
• Work From Anywhere: Provide services from any private, secure location within the US state(s) where you are licensed.
• No-Commission Model: Establish your own session rates based on your expertise. You keep 100% of your client fees. Mentalzon does not take a percentage.
