3h • $72 - $77 • Remote

About The Position

Headspace is seeking an independently licensed therapist residing in Alabama to provide direct, virtual mental health care as a 1099 contractor on a multidisciplinary team. This is a part-time contractor role. Providers are strongly encouraged to make at least 10 hours available per week, with flexibility to adjust availability; demand and member scheduling fluctuations may mean it takes several weeks to establish a consistent schedule.

Care is delivered via a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform. Intake sessions are 60 minutes and follow-up sessions are 45 minutes. Concurrent note-taking is expected and included in the session rate, and clinical case notes must be completed, signed, and locked in the EMR within 48 hours of each session. The stated reimbursement range is $72.00–$77.00 per teletherapy session. Exact rates are determined during the interview process based on factors including location, license type, experience, specializations, languages spoken, and populations treated.

The therapist works with a collaborative care team that may include health coaches, other therapists, psychiatrists, and external care providers, and communicates regularly with clinical leadership. Headspace provides clinical and operational support, training, quality assurance, educational resources, and access to its mental health content and provider community. All work must be performed in the United States, and personal health information may not be accessed, disclosed, or used outside the 50 U.S. states.

Sword expects all candidates to demonstrate at least Level 1 AI proficiency: using AI daily to improve personal productivity. Candidates should be ready to share examples of how they use AI in their work.
