Mental Health Therapy — Psychologist Career Context

This Mental Health Therapy position at Safe Place Counseling is open to psychologist candidates.

Psychologists are seeing unprecedented demand driven by the mental health crisis, with telehealth dramatically expanding access and enabling fully remote practice.

Remote psychologist positions in Mental Health Therapy have grown significantly in recent years, offering clinicians the ability to maintain a full patient panel without geographic constraints or commute-related burnout.

Location & Logistics

This is a fully remote psychologist position. Remote clinicians can practice from any state where they hold an active license, eliminating commute time and offering maximum schedule flexibility. Many remote healthcare positions also allow providers to establish a more sustainable long-term practice pattern.

Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. For a psychologist earning $300k, the absence of state income tax can represent $15k–$30k or more in annual savings.

Why This Position Stands Out

No on-call requirements — clinicians are completely off-duty after hours
No weekend shifts — preserving personal and family time
Fully remote — work from anywhere with an active license
