Associate Therapist

About the Role

Third Space Therapy combines the independence of private practice with the support of a group setting, focused on expanding Medicaid-covered behavioral healthcare. We're looking for passionate Associate Therapists to provide telehealth therapy to the Medicaid population. We handle the administrative side — billing, insurance, credentialing — so you can focus on care.

Why Clinicians Work With Us

• Complete flexibility: You set your own hours and availability, decide which referrals to take, and build the caseload that works for you.
• Administrative support: We handle insurance, billing, and credentialing, and clients book into the availability you set.
• Robust referral network: Build a diverse caseload through our connections with insurers, universities, and community providers.
• Supervision support: We'll help match you with an independently licensed supervisor in our practice, at no cost to you, so you can keep accruing hours toward full licensure.
• Remote practice model: Enjoy the independence of private practice with the backing of a group — from wherever you work.
• Paid per session: You're paid for the clinical work you deliver, at a competitive rate.
• Meaningful work: Make a real difference for Medicaid members and help close gaps in access to care.
