Job Description

Thriveworks is currently seeking Licensed Clinicians to provide a mix of telehealth and face-to-face sessions in Birmingham, Alabama.

About the Job

Thriveworks is a mental health care company founded by clinicians in 2008 and still led by them today. With 340+ locations and a nationwide hybrid care model, we serve over 175,000 clients annually through more than 1.7 million sessions, and we're growing.

In addition to working directly with clients, we partner with health systems and primary care providers because we believe mental health is inseparable from physical health.

  • Invested in helping your clients achieve measurable progress
  • Confident working with modern clinical technology, including telehealth and EHR tools
  • A good teammate — we’re building a clinical community and value positive contributors

Compensation

Up to $54,100 based on licensure type, session volume, and bonus opportunities.

How We Support You

We handle the administrative work so you can focus on what you do best: providing exceptional care. That means credentialing, billing, scheduling, and marketing support taken care of for you, plus paid orientation and training to get you started. You'll build a full caseload within 90 days of credentialing, with flexible scheduling available seven days a week from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m. ET.

Our Community

Being a clinician can feel isolating, especially in a telehealth world. We're built to make sure it doesn't. You'll have access to live clinical support, monthly case consultations, and a vibrant online and in-person community of more than 2,700 licensed providers. All clinical leadership is promoted from within, so the people supporting you have been exactly where you are.
