You became a therapist to make an impact—let’s make that impact where it matters most.
At Thrive Therapies, we partner with K–12 schools across under-resourced communities because we believe every student deserves access to expert, compassionate mental health care. Our team of clinicians brings trauma-informed, evidence-based support directly into schools, virtually and in real time, helping students build resilience, regulate emotions, and re-engage with learning.
Why Therapists Love Working with Thrive- Autonomy with support: Manage your virtual caseload, referrals, and session flow—with access to clinical consultation and peer support.- Predictable school-day hours: Align work with bell schedules; minimal evenings or weekends.- Impact at scale: Reach students across Alabama schools who might not otherwise have access to a mental health professional.- Collaborative partnerships: Coordinate with on-site counselors, educators, and administrators to deliver whole-child care.- Trauma-informed community: Join a network that prioritizes dignity, cultural responsiveness, and evidence-based care.- Shared tools & resources: Use our virtual therapy protocols, templates, and documentation supports so you never start from scratch.
Requirements- Master’s degree in Social Work, Counseling, or Marriage & Family Therapy.- Active Alabama license or eligibility for one (e.g., LCSW, LMSW, LPC, LMFT).- Successful background check prior to start.- School-based or telehealth counseling experience preferred.- Demonstrated commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed care and educational equity.- Bonus: Bilingual or multilingual fluency (e.g., Spanish, Somali, Arabic).
What You’ll Do- Provide individual and group teletherapy sessions using trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches.- Coordinate care virtually with teachers, counselors, and families while protecting student confidentiality.- Document sessions and track outcomes (attendance, engagement, and goal progress).- Participate in brief virtual staff consults or wellness debriefs as needed.- Serve as the virtual mental health lead for assigned schools, helping build sustainable systems for care access.
Compensation1099 (Contracted): Starting at $32/hour, commensurate with experience.
What Makes Us DifferentWe center clinicians who center kids. You’ll have the independence to lead your virtual school-site program, and the backing of a multidisciplinary team. We prioritize student dignity, partner collaboration, and data-informed care, so you can see and show the difference your work makes.
Our MissionThrive Therapies is on a mission to revolutionize the care of children with disabilities and those facing barriers to access. We provide results-driven services and intelligent tools to support children’s development, well-being, and health. At the heart of this mission are the people who change the trajectories of children’s lives. We work for them.
