Licensed Clinical Therapist

About the role

Join a team that’s transforming mental healthcare. Founded by psychiatrists, Headlight is more than a company: it’s a movement. A movement that exists on the front lines of the mental health crisis, transforming the way people access care and the way clinicians deliver it. We are transparent about our capabilities, treatments, and coverage, champion innovation, and leverage our rich data to continuously implement better ways of delivering care. Our mission is simple but powerful: Improving lives, one session at a time.

Our highly skilled and principled clinical team enjoys autonomy and institutional support so they can focus on improving patient outcomes. Clinicians work to affect the system as a whole, elevating standards of care so that their efforts reverberate far beyond what they could do in private practice. As the most trusted behavioral health partner in the Western U.S., we’ve established deep relationships that give us unparalleled access, interoperability, and first-priority referrals. This exclusivity, combined with our best-in-class coordinated care and feedback loops, results in superior outcomes and cost savings. Our services combine personalized client engagement with advanced technology to enhance, not replace, human connection.
