Therapy Associate

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Connecticut.

📋 Description

• Deliver exceptional psychotherapy services (60-minute individual, couples, group, and/or family sessions) emphasizing clinical decision-making and measurable outcomes.

• Engage in supervision to reflect on client sessions, examine transference and countertransference, enhance your clinical decision-making abilities, and assess clinical outcomes through the review of intake notes, treatment plans, assessments, and progress notes.

• Uphold quality and professionalism in every client interaction — your appearance on camera, communication style, and the trust you establish are crucial to client outcomes.

• Design your own flexible schedule (scheduled hours must be within 6:00 am to 11:30 pm in your specific timezone).

• A minimum of 25 hours of weekly availability is essential to facilitate the long-term development of your caseload.

• Achieve a minimum of 50 sessions per month by the end of your 20th week, and continue to grow your caseload thereafter.

• Availability for one evening or weekend shift per week is mandatory during your first year.

• Document meticulously and efficiently—complete treatment plans, progress notes, and assessments promptly, submitting all session documentation within 48 hours.

• Actively engage with the Cerebral Institute for ongoing learning through monthly Amplified Learning Series sessions and live/self-paced courses that offer continuing education credits toward licensure.

• Collaborate with other like-minded clinicians who share a common goal of positively impacting the lives of others, fostering an environment that promotes favorable outcomes for clients.

• Participate in optional monthly company-wide Town Halls to stay connected and informed, or watch the recording if unable to attend live.

• Become a part of a professional community committed to elevating the standard of care and cultivating the next generation of clinical leaders.

⛳️ Requirements

• Master’s degree in social work or counseling.

• Provisionally Licensed in Connecticut (LPCA).

• An up-to-date CAQH profile and an active NPI number are required.

• At least 6 months of experience providing psychotherapy under supervision is preferred.

• Proficient in diagnosing mental health disorders according to DSM-5 criteria.

• Dedicated to building your caseload to 50 sessions per month by the end of week 20.

• Knowledgeable in crisis response, with strong evidence-based clinical skills and experience in implementing measurement-informed care.

• Possess empathetic and intuitive listening abilities with excellent verbal and written communication skills.

• Able to work independently in a telemedicine environment, balancing autonomy with the willingness to seek assistance when needed.

• Committed to professionalism in every client interaction — demonstrating trust, quality, therapeutic presence, and quickly establishing rapport in a telehealth setting.

• Tech-savvy and adaptable, capable of navigating various systems and tools independently with ease (this includes, but is not limited to, Google Workspace, proprietary EMR, etc.).

• Access to a reliable computer (not a Chromebook) and high-speed internet.

• A self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit, or previous experience in a startup or fast-paced environment is preferred.
