Our mission: to eliminate every barrier to mental health.

Spring Health is the leading comprehensive mental health benefit for employers. We help employees understand their mental health issues and connect with best-in-class providers to get the right treatment at the right time.

From early detection to full recovery, Spring Health is the only clinically validated solution in the market proven to be more effective than traditional mental healthcare. By combining the latest technology with vetted providers, we help engage 1 in 3 employees, reduce recovery times, and lower healthcare costs. We are an award-winning, passionate, and mission-driven team with the support of leaders in psychiatry.

We are seeking qualified, part-time internationally licensed psychotherapists to join our provider network and deliver care with a tech-enabled, AI/machine-learning platform that puts patient outcomes first.

What You'll Do

• Provide counseling to clients with benefits ranging from short-term goal-focused EAP, to employer health plans allowing as many sessions as medically necessary.
• Treat adults who have completed brief, evidence-based online screenings identifying their symptoms and areas of concern.
• Preferably, also be open to treating additional populations such as children, adolescents, couples, or families.
• Maintain a calendar displaying your availability and complete session documentation in a timely manner within our scheduling system.
• Use evidence-based treatment modalities and interventions that are tailored to your client’s needs.
• Collaborate with our dedicated provider support team, our licensed clinical care navigation team, and our administrative care support team whenever you need assistance.
• Provide culturally competent and empathetic care, upholding our values of diversity and inclusion for all races, ethnicities, and genders.

Who you are

• You are properly qualified (licensed, if applicable) to practice counseling (as a Psychologist, Psychotherapist, Clinical Psychologist, etc.) in South Africa. We are not able to accept applications from anyone requiring clinical supervision.
• You maintain active professional liability insurance at market rates in your approved jurisdiction (country of licensure)
• You have a minimum of 3 years of independent clinical experience.
• You have access to a computer or laptop, are comfortable with technology, and are tele-health competent.
• You are qualified to and have previous experience treating minors (ages 6+).

• You are comfortable with providing safety planning and intervention during situations where a client might present with higher risks.
• You are committed to quality clinical care and want to expand your capabilities and increase your effectiveness by being informed of client progress or challenges.
• You like working independently, but would also enjoy having the support of a team and opportunities for connections and collaboration with other providers and our master’s level clinical care navigators.

If you are interested in / applying to see Spring Health members in person, please be aware that your own office space in Johannesburg, South Africa will be required.

Why you'll like working with Spring Health
