Associate Therapist (Virginia) – Virtual Care | Here Now Health

Here Now Health • Richmond, VA

17d • $30 - $40 • Remote

About The Position

Here Now Health is the first virtual clinic built specifically for children and families impacted by the child welfare system. We deliver trauma-informed, high-touch care to Medicaid-covered youth navigating foster care, adoption, kinship placements, and juvenile justice. Our model prioritizes consistency, trust, and accessibility in systems where they are too often missing.
As an Associate Therapist with Here Now Health, you’ll provide compassionate, trauma-informed mental health care to youth aged 5–26 and their caregivers. You’ll serve clients experiencing instability, multiple placements, and complex trauma. Our care model prioritizes relational continuity, caregiver collaboration, and consistency — especially for those most often excluded from traditional care.
Here Now Health provides clinical supervision toward independent licensure and offers a supportive environment designed for professional growth.
