About The Position

Headspace is seeking part-time, independently licensed therapist contractors to provide direct virtual care as part of a multidisciplinary team on a 1099 contract basis. Therapists are strongly encouraged to make at least 10 hours per week available, with flexibility to adjust availability; more hours may be offered depending on schedule. Because of care demand and member scheduling fluctuations, it may take several weeks to establish a consistent schedule.

Care is provided by teletherapy. Intake sessions are 60 minutes and follow-up sessions are 45 minutes, with concurrent note-taking included in the per-session rate. The Washington, DC rate is $80–$85 per teletherapy session; the exact reimbursement rate is determined during interviews and may depend on factors including 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 take place within the 50 U.S. states.

Headspace provides clinical training and support, quality assurance, research-backed content, administrative and clinical tools, continuing education, and opportunities to collaborate with a network of peers and experts.
