We offer affirming autism assessments, empowering therapy, and a modern, flexible approach to mental health care that puts humanity first.

The Role:

We’re looking for a warm, licensed, and neurodiversity-affirming mental health therapist to join our team as a contractor.

You’ll work remotely, on your own schedule, and be part of a supportive and collaborative clinical team.

What You’ll Do:

• Conduct clinical interviews and psychosocial assessments as part of a comprehensive autism evaluation process

• Provide individual psychotherapy to neurodivergent adults (including those exploring or newly diagnosed with autism)

• Use evidence-based, affirming, and strengths-focused approaches to support emotional wellness, identity development, and life goals

• Build trusting, long-term therapeutic relationships that support self-understanding and growth

• Maintain clinical documentation and treatment planning in accordance with professional standards

• Use structured tools, behavioral observations, and client narratives to build a holistic understanding of neurodivergent presentations

• Document findings in a timely, organized, and strengths-based manner

• Participate in case consultation and feedback preparation (as needed)

• Communicate with care, clarity, and cultural humility in every interaction

What We’re Looking For:

• Master’s degree in social work, counseling, marriage & family therapy, or a related field

• Active independent clinical license (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, LPC, or equivalent) in at least one U.S. state

• Compassionate, open-minded, and culturally responsive approach to therapy and assessment

• Experience working with neurodivergent adults (especially those with autism, ADHD, anxiety, etc.)

• Strong clinical interview skills and comfort working in collaborative diagnostic environments

• Exceptional interview and assessment skills

• Comfort with telehealth and digital documentation

• Respectful, affirming approach to neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ clients, and marginalized populations

• Self-motivated, reliable, and detail-oriented

Nice to Have:

• Multi-state licensure (PSYPACT is a huge plus for broader reach!)

• Experience with gender-diverse and neurodiverse populations

• Knowledge of co-occurring conditions (ADHS, anxiety, etc)

• Familiarity with autism diagnostic tools or assessment frameworks

• Familiarity with assessment tools like MIGDAS-2, SRS-2, or SCQ

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive per-session compensation

• Fully remote and flexible schedule

• No billing, no admin chaos—we handle logistics and coordination

• A supportive, friendly team that actually enjoys what they do

• The opportunity to grow with a company on a mission to change the game in mental health care

• Zero insurance billing—we handle all admin and logistics

• A collaborative, respectful clinical team that values your voice
