District of Columbia (DC) Remote Mental Health Licensed Therapist, 1099 Contractor

Headspace

14d • $80 - $85 • Remote

About The Position

Headspace is seeking a part-time, independently licensed therapist residing in the United States to provide direct virtual care to members in the District of Columbia as a 1099 contractor. Therapists work as part of a multidisciplinary care team and deliver teletherapy through a HIPAA-compliant video platform. Headspace encourages contractors to have at least 10 hours per week available, with flexibility to adjust availability; demand and member scheduling fluctuations may mean it takes several weeks to establish a consistent schedule.

Intake sessions are 60 minutes and follow-up sessions are 45 minutes. Concurrent note-taking is expected and included in the session rate. The stated reimbursement range is $80–$85 per DC teletherapy session; the exact rate is determined during the interview process based on factors such as location, licensure, experience, specializations, languages, and populations treated. Therapists must be licensed and reside in the United States, and all work and access to personal health information must occur within the 50 U.S. states.

Headspace provides clinical training and support, quality assurance, evidence-based educational resources, administrative and clinical tools, and opportunities to collaborate with a community of peers and experts. Contractors and employees cannot access Headspace products or services, and Headspace seeks to avoid dual relationships with current or former members who received coaching or clinical services. Such applicants are asked to wait until their care is complete before applying. If an ethical conflict cannot be resolved, Headspace may delay a start date or require a leave of absence.
