• Clinical experience with perimenopausal populations, including familiarity with hormonal health, midlife transitions, and associated mental health conditions.
• Demonstrated ability to serve as a clinical peer resource, mentor, or informal support for other therapists.
• Passionate and driven to improve mental health care delivery for women across reproductive health stages, especially for vulnerable patient populations.

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to collaborate across diverse teams.
• Commitment to patient-centered care and innovative mental health solutions.
• Proficiency with tele-therapy platforms and virtual care delivery.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, start-up environment with evolving clinical programs.

Nice To Haves

• Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International is recommended but not required.

Responsibilities

• Provide individual tele-therapy to perinatal and perimenopausal patients using FamilyWell's virtual platform, carrying a full clinical caseload as the primary focus of this role.
• Conduct one-on-one psychological intakes for referred FamilyWell program patients, gathering comprehensive assessments to inform treatment planning.
• Document patient progress comprehensively, sharing treatment recommendations with medical providers, psychiatric consultants, and other treating professionals as needed.

• Develop and deliver Care Plans post-session, offering patients actionable insights and follow-up steps.
• Apply evidence-based clinical approaches specific to perinatal mental health (PPD, PPA, birth trauma) and perimenopausal conditions (mood dysregulation, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and identity and life transition).
• Create and complete relapse prevention self-management plans for patients nearing discharge, ensuring a structured approach to maintaining mental health gains.
• Serve as the primary clinical resource and first point of contact for therapy consultants with clinical questions, complex cases, or ethical dilemmas.
• Advocate for the therapy consultant team — surface their needs, concerns, and clinical feedback to leadership and ensure their voices are represented.
• Provide informal clinical guidance, peer consultation, and real-time support to therapists navigating difficult patient situations.
• Facilitate peer-to-peer reflection and case consultation to promote shared learning and clinical quality across the team.
