About The Position

Cartwheel is an early-stage mental health company building a school-centered program for children and adolescents. Its approach collaborates with school staff to support earlier intervention, student and family engagement, and coordination among trusted adults. The company is building a provider network as it expands into new states; applying may fast-track consideration for future openings.

As a Mental Health Therapist, you will provide care to students in Cartwheel partner school districts and work collaboratively with school staff, families, and Cartwheel clinicians. Care typically lasts 2–4 months per student, with possible extension up to 6 months. The position is remote in the United States and is generally a 1099 independent-contractor role for 10–20 hours per week. W-2 hourly employment is specified for providers living in California or Massachusetts and for non-independent Massachusetts or Illinois licensed therapists.

The role offers a flexible, fully remote schedule, competitive hourly compensation, a potential quarterly Mission Bonus, team-based care, administrative support, and opportunities to contribute to school staff support, workshops, and other programming.
