About HelloHero

HelloHero delivers related and behavioral health services to students nationwide. Since 2017, we’ve supported over 15,000 students through school districts in 28 states.

We focus on fair compensation and exceptional support through our Service Managers. 75% of our clinicians have been with us for over 3 years, reflecting the consistency and support we provide.

Our mission is to ensure students receive the services they need to succeed—while creating a more sustainable, supported environment for the clinicians who make that possible.

Why Our Roles Are Different

  • Clear expectations – Defined workflows and documentation standards
  • Real support – Dedicated Service Manager who advocates for YOU with schools and supports you day-to-day, along with structured onboarding and consistent, responsive communication
  • Access to assessment tools and resources – Supporting evaluation and reporting so you’re not sourcing or managing materials on your own
  • Peer support – Access to internal, discipline-specific chat channels for real-time collaboration, questions, and shared resources
  • Fair compensation – You’re paid for sessions, documentation, and no-shows—not just time in session
  • Flexibility – Choose to work as a HelloHero employee or independent contractor, with part-time and full-time options. While services are delivered during school hours, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your day and caseload
  • Streamlined technology – Sessions are delivered through our proprietary platform, simplifying scheduling, documentation, and service delivery
  • Efficient scheduling tools – Our platform includes auto-scheduling capabilities for many assignments, reducing time spent coordinating sessions
  • Opportunities for growth – Flexibility to build and expand your caseload over time based on your preferences and availability
  • Licensure support – Support for cross-licensing in additional states as opportunities arise
