Job description

Build a Borderless Virtual Private Practice with Mentalzon

Step into the future of psychology: a fully virtual private practice that spans states, eliminates overhead, and lets you treat clients from anywhere you’re licensed. Mentalzon is recruiting Licensed Psychologists (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) who are ready to scale—or launch—a 100% telehealth practice powered by our client-matching engine.

No office lease. No commute. No marketing grind. We funnel pre-qualified virtual clients straight to your calendar; you deliver gold-standard therapy via your secure video platform of choice. Keep every fee, set every boundary, and practice psychology on a digital-first canvas. Whether you’re transitioning from brick-and-mortar, balancing family, or simply wired for virtual connection—this is telepsychology redefined for the independent clinician.

Key Responsibilities:

• Virtual Psychotherapy Excellence: Conduct comprehensive assessments, diagnoses, and evidence-based interventions exclusively through HIPAA-compliant video for individuals, couples, or families.
• Screen-to-Screen Treatment Design: Adapt therapeutic techniques for maximum efficacy in the telehealth medium—building trust pixel by pixel.
• Digital Documentation Mastery: Produce concise, secure clinical notes in full compliance with APA, HIPAA, and interstate telepsychology regulations.
• Autonomous Virtual Operations: Own scheduling, intake forms, payment processing, and client correspondence with zero administrative drag.
• Ethical Telepractice: Navigate informed consent, emergency protocols, and jurisdictional rules with confidence.

Requirements:

• Education: Doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in Psychology from an APA-accredited program.
• Licensure: Active, unrestricted independent license in at least one U.S. state; PSYPACT credential or multi-state licenses strongly preferred.
• Experience: Post-licensure telehealth delivery with diverse diagnoses and demographics (or transferable in-person expertise).
• Telehealth Infrastructure: Personal HIPAA-compliant video solution (e.g., Telehealth by SimplePractice, Coviu, Mend, or Zoom for Healthcare). Dedicated, professional backdrop and high-speed internet (≥25 Mbps upload/download). Quiet, private space that guarantees confidentiality.
• Regulatory Command: Fluency in HIPAA, APA telepsychology guidelines, and state-specific virtual practice statutes.
• Insurance: Current malpractice policy covering telehealth services.
• Skills: Clinical virtuosity optimized for virtual nuance—reading micro-expressions, pacing interventions, and fostering depth remotely. Tech fluency without over-reliance—seamless platform switching and troubleshooting. Digital empathy and cultural attunement across screens. Self-discipline to maintain boundaries in a home-based practice. Vision to treat “location” as a variable, not a limitation.

The Mentalzon Virtual Advantage:

• Status: Independent Contractor (1099).
• Calendar Sovereignty: Offer 3 sessions or 30+ per week—availability is yours alone.
• State-Spanning Reach: Serve clients in any state where you’re licensed (or PSYPACT-approved).
• Zero Platform Fees: Charge what your expertise commands; retain 100% of collections.
• Direct Pay Flow: Bill via Stripe, Ivy Pay, or your preferred processor—no middleman.
• Hyper-Targeted Referrals: Clients actively searching for your virtual specialties—CBT, EMDR, trauma, executive coaching, etc.
• Free Onboarding & Visibility: Instant profile, credential verification, and SEO-juiced directory placement at $0.
• Telehealth Toolkit: Profile templates, consent forms, and tech-stack recommendations included.

How to Launch Your Virtual Practice on Mentalzon:

Craft Your Digital Shingle: Detail licenses, telehealth certifications, theoretical orientation, and virtual “office hours.”

One-Click Verification: Upload license, diploma, and malpractice cert for same-day review.

Set Your Virtual Stage: Define rates, session length, and client focus—no quotas, no scripts.

Activate & Attract: Go live and watch booking requests appear from clients who want virtual care with you.
