Licensed Mental Health Therapist - Telehealth

Mental Health Therapist, Counselor or Psychologist - Flexible Telehealth Position

Brightside (www.brightside.com) is a tech-enabled healthcare company. We provide quality mental health care, backed by science, and delivered with humanity. Using an evidenced-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) counseling approach, our patients complete live video sessions with their therapist as well as self-guided video lessons outside of session. With Brightside’s innovative care model, 86% of our patients are feeling better in 12 weeks and we’re delivering 50% higher rates of response and remission when compared to a top US health system.

Brightside therapists also have the option to receive free training in the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicide (CAMS) to treat patients with elevated risk for suicide as part of our Crisis Care Program. Crisis Care is a first-of-its-kind virtual mental health care program that provides timely, intermediate care for individuals who are actively suicidal and/or have had a recent suicide attempt. Therapists will also have the opportunity to work with our Teen Therapy program launching in the coming months. We firmly believe in extending care to those who need it most, encompassing our general mental health population, individuals facing an elevated risk of suicide, and adolescents.
