Therapy Associate

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

📋 Description

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

• Engage in supervision to reflect on client sessions, delve into transference and countertransference, enhance your clinical decision-making abilities, and assess clinical outcomes by reviewing intake notes, treatment plans, assessments, and progress notes.

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

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

• A minimum availability of 20 hours per week is essential for building a long-term caseload.

• Maintain at least 50 sessions per month by the conclusion of your 20th week, and continue to grow your caseload thereafter.

• One evening or weekend availability per week is required during your first year.

• Document with precision and efficiency—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 the goal of positively impacting the lives of others, fostering an environment conducive to favorable client outcomes.

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

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

• Master’s degree in social work or counseling.

• Provisionally Licensed in New Jersey as either LSW or LAC.

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

• A minimum of 6 months of experience providing psychotherapy under supervision is preferred (the training program requires at least 6 months of supervision still needed).

• Proficient in diagnosing mental health disorders in accordance with DSM-5 criteria.

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

• Comfortable collaborating with prescribers managing clients’ medications.

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

• Exhibit empathetic and intuitive listening skills, along with strong verbal and written communication abilities.

• Able to work independently in a telemedicine setting, balancing autonomy and seeking assistance when needed.

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

• Tech-savvy and adaptable, with the capacity to navigate various systems and tools independently (including, but 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 prior experience in a startup or fast-paced environment is preferred.
