Job description

Mental health challenges can make simple things feel hard, and hard things feel impossible. At The Remedy Mental Health, we recognize the profound impact compassionate care can have and we meet our patients wherever they are on their journey. With locations across the Twin Cities, Western Wisconsin, and South Dakota our mission is to make exceptional mental health care accessible to all.

We are at the forefront of a new era in mental health treatment. In addition to delivering evidence-based outpatient therapy, our clinicians participate in pioneering psychedelic-assisted therapy clinical trials placing The Remedy among a select group of clinical sites shaping the future of psychiatric medicine.

This is not a traditional therapy position. You will carry a meaningful outpatient caseload and serve as a certified Psychedelic Session Monitor within FDA-regulated Phase II and Phase III investigational drug trials and be among the first clinicians in the country to combine conventional psychotherapy with emerging psychedelic-assisted interventions.

• Hands-on experience with investigational psychedelic compounds under FDA and GCP oversight.
• Professional development including trauma-informed care and psychedelic therapy certification support.
• Collaborative interdisciplinary team with weekly case consultation and direct principal investigator access.
• Hybrid schedule: in-person dosing sessions balanced with in-person and telehealth for standard outpatient care.

The Licensed Therapist & Clinical Trial Specialist carries an active outpatient caseload while serving as a trained monitor within The Remedy's psychedelic-assisted therapy research program.

Psychedelic Clinical Trial Duties

• Serve as a Psychedelic Session Monitor within FDA-regulated Phase II and Phase III investigational drug trials, working as part of a two-person supervision team.
• Maintain a safe, supportive physical and emotional environment for participants throughout extended dosing sessions (8+ hours).
• Execute therapeutic and supportive frameworks with fidelity to ensure data consistency across the trial.
• Conduct structured preparation sessions prior to dosing days to build participant rapport and informed expectations.
• Facilitate post-experience integration sessions to support participants in processing their observations.Complete detailed clinical observations and source documentation in compliance with GCP guidelines and Human Subject Protection regulations.
• Maintain all required DEA registrations and state-specific certifications for controlled substance handling in a research context.
