Job Description

At risk of being a bit blunt, we founded Lifebulb because we're tired of therapists being treated like numbers on a company's financial spreadsheet. You're a person. And your clients are people too.

That said, this may sound a bit odd - Lifebulb is not a "client-centered company".

With us, you'll be a part of the first Therapist-Centered organization in mental healthcare. You provide an immeasurably valuable service to people in need, and we recognize that by providing you the best possible employment environment, compensation, benefits, flexibility, autonomy, and support.

  • CEU reimbursement
  • License renewal reimbursement
  • Optional Case consultation groups
  • Quick credentialing provided
