The Role
Were seeking a licensed therapist to join our founding team as a 1099 independent contractor. You'll work with teens and adults navigating chronic illness, trauma, grief, caregiving, and life transitions.
This role may begin as very part-time, with income building gradually in the first 1-3 months.

- Simple, sustainable structure: Sessions include time for documentation, and youre paid monthly via direct deposit.
