Type: Full-time
This role is designed for independently licensed mental health clinicians (LCSW, LPC, PsyD, etc.) who hold an active license in Washington, DC. It is a 1099 contractor position, ideal for those seeking a flexible, fully remote side hustle or a part-time clinical load within a modern, tech-forward platform. You’ll need at least three years of experience and a strong grasp of evidence-based practices like CBT or DBT. The compensation is performance-based at a rate of $80–$85 per session, including both intakes and follow-ups. While the minimum commitment is 10 hours per week, the "flex" nature of the role allows you to scale your schedule based on demand. A standout perk is the "Community of Care," which provides measurement-based care tools, clinical training, and administrative support to handle logistics like billing and scheduling. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Hold an active, independent license in DC (unsupervised) and reside in the U.S. * Are comfortable with "concurrent note-taking" during virtual sessions to maintain the 48-hour filing deadline. * Value a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating with health coaches and psychiatrists. * Have availability during evenings or weekends to meet member demand.
### About the Remote Licensed Therapist (1099 Contractor) role at Headspace:

To get started, we strongly encourage having 10+ hours available per week with full flexibility to adjust; more is always welcome depending on your schedule! Please note that due to care demand and member scheduling fluctuations, it could take a number of weeks to achieve a consistent schedule.
The pay for the Contract Mental Health Therapist ranges from $80 to $85 for DC per teletherapy session.Exact reimbursement rates will be determined during the interview process and are based on a number of factors including but not limited to location, licensure type, experience, specializations, languages spoken, and populations treated.
Session length is 60 minutes for an intake and 45 minutes for a follow up appointment, with concurrent note-taking expected and included in the session rate. All Headspace therapists must be licensed and reside in the US. Due to the nature of healthcare services provided to our customers, partners and members, all work must be provided in the U.S. Data, specifically personal health information may not be accessed, disclosed or used outside of the U.S. Please note that the U.S. is limited to the 50 states of the United States -- it does not include U.S. territories like Puerto Rico.
### Why Work on the Headspace Network:
All member records are protected according to our[Privacy Policy](https://organizations.headspace.com/page/applicant-notice). Further, while employees and contractors of Headspace (formerly Ginger) cannot access Headspace products/services, they will be offered benefits according to the company's benefit plan. To ensure we are adhering to best practice and ethical guidelines in the field of mental health, we take care to avoid dual relationships. A dual relationship occurs when a mental health care provider has a second, significantly different relationship with their client in addition to the traditional client-therapist relationship—including, for example, a managerial relationship.As such, Headspace requests that individuals who have received coaching or clinical services at Headspace wait until their care with Headspace is complete before applying for a position. If someone with a Headspace account is hired for a position, please note their account will be deactivated and they will not be able to use Headspace services for the duration of their employment.Further, if Headspace cannot find a role that fails to resolve an ethical issue associated with a dual relationship, Headspace may need to take steps to ensure ethical obligations are being adhered to, including a delayed start date or a potential leave of absence. Such steps would be taken to protect both the former member, as well as any relevant individuals from their care team, from impairment, risk of exploitation, or harm.For how we will use the personal information you provide as part of the application process, please see: https://organizations.headspace.com/page/applicant-notice.
