About This Role
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Headway's Strafford location, you'll deliver direct client care by conducting individual therapy sessions, developing customized treatment plans, and tracking client progress over time. You'll work within an insurance-based model that handles billing and administrative logistics, allowing you to focus on clinical work. Your days involve one-on-one sessions, case documentation, and collaboration with other providers on complex cases. This role suits counselors who hold current licensure, want autonomy in treatment planning, and value working for an organization committed to expanding mental health access. You'll be part of a team-oriented environment that emphasizes evidence-based care without the burden of traditional private practice administration.

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.
