About This Role
Headway is looking for a Licensed Mental Health Counselor to deliver direct therapeutic services to patients in the Atlanta area. In this role, you'll conduct individual counseling sessions, develop treatment plans, and support clients working through various mental health challenges. The position leverages insurance billing to make care accessible, so you'll work within that framework. You should have your LMHC license and a genuine commitment to helping patients improve their wellbeing. This role suits counselors who are organized, can build strong therapeutic relationships, and want to work for a company focused on removing barriers to mental health treatment. No specific schedule or pay details are listed, so you'll want to confirm those directly with the company.

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.
