Mental Health Therapist

Beckley Clinical (BC) is a leader in behavioral health innovation, committed to delivering transformative outcomes through evidence-based drug-assisted therapies.

Rooted in over 30 years of experience in psychedelic research, Beckley Clinical was founded to address the critical need for effective, accessible, and safe treatments for behavioral health conditions.

Our current mission is to integrate ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with holistic mental health interventions to improve patient outcomes in real-world clinical settings. In particular, we provide virtual wraparound therapeutic support for patients receiving ketamine or esketamine at partner clinics.

We are seeking a licensed mental health therapist to provide preparation and integration psychotherapy to patients undergoing ketamine or esketamine treatment at our partner clinics. The psychotherapist will work closely with other members of the treatment team to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care.

The ideal candidate will be experienced in providing evidence-based psychotherapy and psychedelic integration and be comfortable working in a virtual setting.

Additionally, the therapist will also have the opportunity to work with our Chief Medical Officer to help improve treatment protocols as we learn from experience, train other therapists, and help shape the future of Beckley Clinical.
