Talkiatry is a virtual mental health practice built by clinicians, for clinicians. Our care model, workflows, and infrastructure are intentionally designed to support high-quality outpatient care and expand access to patients with the care they need.
Talkiatry’s mission is to transform psychiatry with accessible, human, and responsible care. We’re a national mental health practice co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality treatment.
60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low, and paperwork is unduly burdensome. With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, we provide patients with the care they need.
Talkiatry is seeking experienced licensed Therapists, including social workers, counselors, and marriage and family therapists (LCSWs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LPCs, LCPCs, LPCCs) to join our team of providers.
This role is designed for independently licensed therapists who want:
Predictable, W-2 compensation and full benefits
Flexible scheduling within a structured outpatient model
Minimal administrative burden in a fully remote environment
Clear expectations around caseload, documentation, and pace
Our outpatient therapy model is intentionally built for virtual care, not retrofitted from inpatient or hospital systems, allowing you to deliver thoughtful and structured care.
What your day-to-day practice looks like:
100% remote, outpatient therapy
Lower to moderate acuity populations (ex. anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, mood disorders, OCD, others)
Standard session lengths (60-minute intakes and follow-ups)
Consistent outpatient caseload with defined, transparent goals
No inpatient, IOP/PHP, or crisis-call responsibilities
In-house referral network to/from psychiatrists
Full operational support including scheduling, billing, intake coordination, credentialing, and licensing
Clinical autonomy & flexibility:
Independent treatment decision-making
Input into schedule and weekly availability within operational guidelines
Clinical approach within evidence-based standards
Care expectations are shaped by practicing clinicians, reinforcing professional judgment, and shared accountability for quality.
You practice independently, with accessible clinical leadership available for consultation and support. Our role is to remove administrative work so you can focus on patient care. This model works best for clinicians who value delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to patients.
What we're looking for:
Independently licensed therapists (LCSW, LMFT, LPC, LMHC or equivalent)
Active, unrestricted license (multi-state licensing support available)
Two or more independent and active state licenses (except for CA, NY and MA)
Comfort managing a consistent outpatient caseload
Strong clinical judgment, communication skills, and independent decision-making
Comfort practicing in a fast-paced but sustainable outpatient environment
(Highly desired) Experience from outpatient, community mental health, hospital, IOP, or other structured clinical settings
(Highly desired) Experience with structured, skills-based modalities (ex. CBT, ACT, MI, DBT-informed care)
Please note, this role is not designed for clinicians seeking supervision toward licensure or those looking to build a fully self-directed 1099/Private Practice. You will be a part of our team!
Compensation, Benefits & Stability:
Full-time and part-time W-2 employment
$70k with the ability to earn up to $20k in incentives (Therapists with a CA license in hand are eligible for base salary of $90K+ monthly productivity incentive.)

At Talkiatry, we believe that solving the accessibility issues in mental health care begins with taking care of our doctors. We provide solutions to the challenges that psychiatrists are facing - from a lack of front and back-office infrastructure and support in private practice settings to being overworked and underpaid by hospitals, clinics, and other institutions. Talkiatry aims to bridge the current gap in outpatient psychiatry by providing in-network, high quality, respected medical care in a modern setting with modern tools. Our support staff focuses on removing administrative duties, enabling you to spend more of your time on patient care. It also means providing flexibility in where and when you practice medicine. Our psychiatrists also enjoy control over their hours and schedule.
