Licensed Psychologist in Modesto, CA
About The Position
Ascellus is a behavioral health provider focused on helping injured workers restore their physical and emotional wellbeing. The Licensed Psychologist provides time-limited outpatient psychotherapy to injured workers in the workers’ compensation space. This 1099 role is designed for clinicians seeking flexibility, operational support, and a thoughtful clinical culture. The clinician typically provides 4–12 therapy sessions per case and chooses a caseload of 5–20 cases. They work with injured workers pursuing a return to function after a work injury and complete documentation within 24–48 hours using the Ascellus Provider Portal. Clinicians set their own availability and receive a steady stream of referrals based on their chosen volume and capacity. Compensation is $160–$200 per therapy session, depending on relevant experience; the high end of the range is reserved for clinicians with significant applicable experience. No-show or late-cancel appointments within 24 hours are paid at the full hourly rate when proper patient outreach has been completed. Ascellus provides referral flow and intake coordination, billing, collections and credentialing support, scheduling and reminders, and a consultation community with workers’ compensation behavioral health specialists, peer consultation, case conferences, and training.
