Summary

This role is ideal for mental health clinicians who enjoy the fast-paced "front door" of treatment rather than long-term therapy. While the company prefers candidates with independent licensure (LCSW, LMFT, LPC, etc.), they are open to associate-level clinicians who are eager to gain experience and work toward full licensure in a virtual intensive outpatient (IOP) setting. A standout feature is the fully remote nature of the work, though you must be comfortable with specific shifts (mornings/afternoons or afternoons/evenings) to support various time zones. The compensation is clearly defined with a base range of $65k–$77.5k plus a comprehensive benefits package. It is a high-impact position where you serve as the first clinical point of contact for families in crisis. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have experience conducting biopsychosocial assessments and using DSM-V criteria for diagnoses. * Are comfortable working in a high-volume, tech-forward telehealth environment. * Possess (or are working toward) a mental health license in California. * Are available to work mid-day to evening shifts (e.g., 12pm – 8pm MT) and potentially weekends.
