We are looking for a virtual Pre-Licensed Therapist to join our team to deliver family-centric and evidence-based care to Children, Adolescents, & Young Adults. This is a fully remote position. 

Responsibilities:

  • Maintain awareness of risk management issues
  • Complete documentation in a timely and thorough manner
  • Participate in initial and ongoing trainings on the application of evidence-based and tech-enhanced care delivery
  • Facilitate skills or skills practice groups, as assigned. These CBT-based groups are for parents/caregivers and focus on skills development and implementation based on the InStride Health curriculum, integrating aspects of ACT and PMT.

What You Need to Succeed in the Role

  • Provisional / Associate licensure with the following designation: 
    • Provisional / Associate Counseling License & Masters Degree from an accredited graduate program
  • An active license in Pennsylvania
  • Graduate-level clinical internship with therapy training required

  • Commitment to Progressing Toward Independent Licensure: this is a pre-licensed role intended for clinicians who are actively working toward full independent licensure. Once you have completed the supervised clinical experience and other state requirements needed to pursue final licensure, you will be expected to promptly complete all remaining steps and obtain independent licensure within six months for master's-level clinicians (LCSW/LPC or equivalent) or nine months for doctoral-level psychologists (Ph.D/Psy.D), absent documented circumstances outside your reasonable control.

The starting annual salary for this role is $70,000. This is a pre-licensed role designed to support clinicians in progressing toward independent licensure; compensation will increase upon obtaining full independent licensure in accordance with InStride's compensation practices.
