Job Description

Lighthouse Therapy is looking forSchool Psychologists to work a remote position as a 1099 contractor withCalifornia school districts for the 24/25 School Year.

What you will need:

• Master's Degree in School Psychology
• ActiveCalifornia license as a School Psychologist or willingness to apply for licensure
• Reliable Internet Access
• A dedicated computer with a webcam for providing services
• A dedicated or quiet space for sessions
• Ability to build rapport with students
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Positive and patient demeanor

Preferred:

• Previous experience providing school psychology services in an educational setting
• 2+ years experience working in schools

Commitment:

• Willingness to support a minimum of 20 students per week for the 2025-2026 school year – with potential for renewal
• You are in control of your caseload. If you agree to the 20-student minimum, you are never obligated to take on more students.
• Caseloads are not guaranteed. Lighthouse Therapy asks that you be willing to work with 20 students per week. However, this does not guarantee that you will have referrals for 20 students. Even if you start at the beginning of the school year, it may take several weeks for referrals to come in and your caseload to build.

Partial Caseload Clarification:

This opening is for individuals who want freedom and flexibility with their time and prefer to commit to apartial caseload.

Q - How does Lighthouse define caseload?

A - At Lighthouse Therapy, we define a "Student" as a child receiving service for 30 minutes once a week. So, a caseload of 20 students equals 10 hours of direct therapy time.

Q—What if I see students who require more time? What if I need to see a student for 30 minutes twice a week instead of once a week?

A—Under Lighthouse Therapy's caseload definition, "a student is a child receiving service for 30 minutes once a week." If you were to have a child receiving service for 30 minutes twice a week, then that child would count as two students.

Q—Why does Lighthouse Therapy discuss a time commitment in "Students" and not "Hours"?

A—At Lighthouse Therapy, everything we do is about our mission. We are laser-focused on helping students, and discussing time commitment in "Students" is one small way to keep the focus where it should be.

Q—Why does Lighthouse Therapy ask therapists to commit to a minimum caseload of 20 students?

A—At Lighthouse Therapy, we want happy and committed therapists. We've noticed that therapists are more committed when they agree to at least 20 students. This higher commitment often leads to stronger integration with client schools and more consistent referrals. Once Lighthouse began asking for this level of commitment, we witnessed a sharp decline in therapist turnover and dramatically higher therapist satisfaction on internal surveys.

What you get:

• We match your schedule with the right students.
• Lighthouse Therapy offers mentoring for all new therapists at whatever level they need it.
• Access to Lighthouse Therapy's electronic medical record (EMR) system makes keeping track of your appointments, billing, and students' goals a breeze.
• Access to Zoom for providing your teletherapy services
• Access to Lighthouse Therapy's G-Suite account to make communication with schools easy.
• Never feel alone. Our therapist community is active and engaged on Google Chat (Google's version of Slack). You can ask questions, get answers, make friends, and even post in the "Water Cooler" channel what fun things you've been up to.
• Opportunity to cross-license and cross-licensure reimbursement to other states
• Access to Lighthouse Therapy'sAssessment Library . This resource alone can save you thousands of dollars on testing materials.
• Work remotely! Skip the commute and get more time to spend with your family.

About us

Established in 2018, Lighthouse Therapy is a company run by therapists, for therapists, for the betterment of students.

Before starting Lighthouse Therapy, our CEO and Speech-Language Pathologist, Janet Courtney, provided online therapy services for over six years and worked as a therapist for nearly twenty-five years. She saw first-hand the problems a company run by investors and businessmen can produce. Decisions were regularly made to improve the bottom line, negatively affecting therapists, schools, and, ultimately, the students. She knew a company's profits shouldn't come before a student's well-being. So, she founded Lighthouse Therapy (LHT).

Janet understands the nuances of conducting sessions online, so every decision made centers around helping our therapists and students become more successful.
