Strong candidates should:
Hold an active, unrestricted, independent master's-level counseling license in at least one U.S. state Be eligible and willing to obtain Massachusetts LMHC licensure Be willing to complete Florida telehealth registration and/or pursue Florida LMHC licensure Be willing to complete payer credentialing before beginning patient care Candidates may currently be licensed under another state title, such as
LPC, LCMHC, LPCC, LCPC
, or another equivalent independent master's-level counseling license. The key requirement is eligibility for Massachusetts LMHC licensure and Florida authorization/licensure as needed. Associate, intern, provisional, or pre-licensed clinicians are not a fit for this role.
Patient Centered Care:
Values, Meaning, and Spirituality Dignity Brain Health takes seriously the whole person, including the psychological, relational, moral, spiritual, and existential dimensions of suffering and healing. Many patients wish to discuss questions of meaning, purpose, faith, family, guilt, forgiveness, moral injury, suffering, hope, or identity as part of therapy. Our approach is patient centered, clinically grounded, evidence-informed, legally compliant, and respectful of patient autonomy. Clinicians are expected to work within professional ethical standards, to respect each patient's own values and worldview. Candidates who are comfortable helping patients thoughtfully explore meaning, values, and moral or spiritual concerns, when clinically relevant, may find this role especially meaningful. Responsibilities Provide individual psychotherapy to adult patients by secure telehealth Conduct clinically appropriate intake assessments and diagnostic evaluations for adult psychotherapy patients Develop and maintain appropriate treatment plans Use evidence-based and clinically grounded psychotherapy approaches Help patients develop practical coping strategies, emotional regulation skills, behavioral goals, and relapse-prevention plans Coordinate care with psychiatric prescribers and other clinicians when appropriate Document diagnoses, treatment plans, interventions, patient response, risk/safety assessment, and follow-up plans in a timely and insurance-appropriate manner Use ICD-10 and CPT-aware documentation standards consistent with outpatient psychotherapy billing and medical necessity requirements Assess clinical risk when relevant, develop safety plans when appropriate, and escalate concerns according to clinic policy and standard of care Maintain patient confidentiality and comply with HIPAA standards Participate in paid administrative, and team meetings as needed Communicate professionally with patients, staff, and clinicians Follow applicable state licensing rules and professional standards Contribute to a positive, respectful, and collaborative clinical environment Clinical Fit We are especially interested in clinicians with experience or interest in treating adults with: Depression Anxiety disorders OCD Bipolar disorder PTSD Eating behaviors ADHD-related functional challenges Relationship and family stressors Patients receiving psychiatric medication management who would benefit from coordinated psychotherapy Experience with CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, motivational interviewing, supportive psychotherapy, psychodynamic therapy, and/or other structured psychotherapy approaches are helpful. Clinical Boundaries This is an outpatient telehealth psychotherapy role. Dignity Brain Health is not an emergency or crisis-service setting. Clinicians are expected to assess risk appropriately, follow clinic safety protocols, and coordinate higher levels of care when clinically indicated. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is: Comfortable working remotely Interested in gradually building a stable caseload Warm, thoughtful, and clinically grounded Highly reliable and conscientious Comfortable with insurance-based documentation (we have templates) Able to complete notes promptly Interested in a long-term role Looking for a collegial family-like environment where you also have autonomy Comfortable collaborating with psychiatric prescribers Comfortable discussing meaning, values, spirituality, and moral concerns when patients raise them clinically This role is a particularly good fit for a therapist who does not want to manage their own billing, marketing, scheduling infrastructure, insurance claims, or patient acquisition. Administrative Support Dignity Brain Health handles many of the administrative burdens that often make outpatient clinical work stressful, including scheduling support, patient onboarding, billing, insurance claims support, and administrative systems. Clinicians are expected to complete their own clinical documentation and professional communications, but the practice is designed to reduce unnecessary administrative load where possible. Benefits Benefits may vary based on hours worked and eligibility, but may include: W-2 employment 401(k) plan 401(k) employer match, if eligible Paid administrative/team time, as applicable Credentialing done for you Reimbursement for required state licensure EHR and telehealth platform access Clinical outcome-tracking tools Administrative and billing support teams Opportunity to grow from part-time toward full-time Collegial team environment with access to case discussion and clinical collaboration Required Qualifications Master's degree in mental health counseling, professional counseling, or a closely related counseling field Active, unrestricted, independent master's-level counseling license in at least one U.S. state Eligibility and willingness to obtain Massachusetts LMHC licensure Willingness to complete Florida telehealth registration and/or Florida LMHC licensure Willingness to complete payer credentialing before starting patient care Comfort providing telehealth psychotherapy to adults Strong written and verbal communication skills Reliable documentation habits Basic comfort with EHRs, Google Docs, email, and telehealth technology No current license restrictions or unresolved board actions Preferred Qualifications Prior outpatient therapy experience Prior telehealth experience Experience with insurance-based documentation Experience treating adults with depression and anxiety and other typical disorders in outpatient psychiatry Experience coordinating care with psychiatric prescribers Experience with risk assessment, safety planning, and appropriate escalation of care Interest in long-term employment relationship Interest in Massachusetts and Florida licensure Experience with

skills, motivational interviewing, supportive psychotherapy, and/or psychodynamic therapy Comfort working with patients for whom meaning, morality, family, and/or spiritual/religious identity are clinically important Schedule This position begins part-time, with the opportunity to increase hours as the caseload grows.
