Virtual Therapist

Baba • New York, NY

3d • Remote

About The Position

Baba is seeking licensed therapists to provide virtual behavioral health care to adults aged 60 and older and, when clinically appropriate, their caregivers. The role is part of Baba’s expanding nationwide behavioral health services and its care model combining therapy, personalized care navigation, and technology-enabled support. The position is remote and structured as a 1099 independent contractor role, with a fee-for-service compensation model.

Therapists provide evidence-based psychotherapy through secure telehealth and develop individualized treatment plans that account for clients’ medical conditions, caregiving circumstances, cognitive functioning, and social determinants of health. They collaborate with Baba’s healthcare advocates and use AI-powered tools to monitor progress, identify potential warning signs, and support treatment and care-plan adherence. The role also includes maintaining accurate electronic documentation and providing feedback to improve clinical workflows and the patient experience.

The position offers flexible scheduling within a broad daytime and evening window, with no on-call requirements. Therapists work remotely and receive support from healthcare advocates who help address logistical, insurance, and social determinants of health barriers. Technology may support client check-ins, reminders, mood tracking, and care-plan adherence between visits. The role includes opportunities to help shape workflows and services as Baba’s behavioral health program grows.
