Licensed Behavioral Therapist

About the Role

This is a founding role in WonderLab's new behavioral health service line—a rare and exciting opportunity for a passionate, experienced clinician to help build something meaningful from the ground up. The Licensed Behavioral Health Therapist will provide direct clinical services to children and families while also playing a central role in building the infrastructure, workflows, and program design of WonderLab's mental health program. As the program grows, so does this role. WonderLab is committed to developing this clinician into a clinical leader with real potential to grow into a supervisory or program leadership position as the behavioral health team expands. If you're a skilled therapist who also has the vision and drive to help shape a program, this is your seat at the table.

Position Overview

This position begins as a part-time W2 employee (5–10 hours/week) during the credentialing period, with a focus on clinical infrastructure development (intake forms, policies, workflows, and program design). Upon completion of credentialing, the role transitions to full-time clinical practice.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Clinical Services:

• Provide evidence-based individual, family, and group therapy to children and their caregivers
• Conduct comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments and develop individualized treatment plans
• Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation in compliance with HIPAA and Medi-Cal requirements
• Collaborate with WonderLab's interdisciplinary team including physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, community health workers (CHWs), and support staff
• Participate in case consultations, team meetings, and clinical supervision as applicable
• Support families in navigating mental health systems, parenting children with special needs, community resources, and care coordination (in collaboration with CHWs)

Program Development & Infrastructure (during credentialing period and ongoing):

• Collaborate with leadership to design and implement intake processes, clinical workflows, and program policies
• Assist in developing culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent affirming clinical protocols
• Contribute to program evaluation efforts including outcome tracking and data collection
• Help shape the vision and structure of WonderLab's growing behavioral health service line
• Identify opportunities to expand access and improve care delivery for underserved families

Growth and Leadership Opportunity

This is WonderLab's first behavioral health hire. That means the right person will have an extraordinary opportunity not just to do good clinical work, but to shape what this program becomes. As WonderLab's behavioral health services grow, we are committed to investing in this clinician's leadership development. There is real potential for this role to evolve into a Clinical Lead, Program Supervisor, or Behavioral Health Program Director position. If you're someone who sees yourself as both a clinician and a builder, we want to meet you.
