About This Role
In this role, you'll deliver direct mental health counseling to clients through Headway's insurance-partnered platform. Your days involve conducting therapy sessions, developing individualized treatment plans, and maintaining client progress documentation. You'll work with a diverse caseload across various mental health needs, operating in a structured but flexible environment that leverages digital tools to reach more patients. The position suits licensed mental health counselors who want to expand their impact without the overhead of managing a private practice. You'll collaborate with a supportive clinical team while maintaining the autonomy to guide your own therapeutic approach. This is ideal for clinicians seeking a sustainable practice model with built-in administrative support and a steady patient flow.

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.
