Mentalzon is seeking entrepreneurial, doctoral-level professionals who desire the autonomy and flexibility of being their own boss.This is not a traditional "job"— it's a partnership opportunity. We provide the platform and client referrals to help you build a thriving independent practice, whether you see clients in your local office, remotely via telehealth, or a hybrid of both.Mentalzon empowers you to focus on clinical excellence while we help you solve the biggest challenge: connecting with a steady stream of clients. You retain full control over your schedule, your fees, and your clinical approach.

Your Role as an Independent Practitioner:

Design Your Practice:

Choose your model. Provide in-person psychological services from your private office, offer 100% remote telehealth, or combine both to fit your lifestyle.

Full Clinical Autonomy:

Direct Client Management:

You control your own schedule, client communications, billing, and all practice policies.

Provide Clinical Services:

Conduct psychological assessments, diagnosis, and evidence-based psychotherapy for your clients.

Requirements for Partnership:

Education:

Doctoral Degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in Clinical, Counseling, or School 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:

Proven post-licensure clinical experience. Prior private practice experience is a plus, but not required if you have a strong entrepreneurial drive.

Professional Infrastructure:

For in-person: Must maintain a professional, confidential office space. For telehealth: Must provide your own HIPAA-compliant video platform (e.g., Zoom for Healthcare, Google Workspace, Doxy.me) and have a private, secure setting for sessions.

Professional Liability Insurance:

Must maintain an active malpractice insurance policy.

Skills:

A strong entrepreneurial mindset, self-motivation, excellent organizational skills, and robust clinical judgment.
