About This Role
This role places you in control of your clinical practice through Headway's platform, where you'll provide mental health services to clients via telehealth, in-person sessions, or a combination of both. You'll set your own schedule and determine your availability, giving you genuine flexibility to balance client work with other commitments. Compensation reaches up to $122 per hour with predictable bi-weekly payments, providing income stability. This position suits LCSWs who want to build or expand a private practice without administrative overhead, or those seeking autonomy over when and how they work. Whether you're launching your independent practice for the first time or looking to scale an existing one, this setup eliminates the typical barriers to private practice ownership.

Frequently asked questions
What license do I need to apply?
An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.
Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
