Job Description

Mental Health Counselor (MHC) – Massachusetts

Third Space Therapy combines the independence of private practice with the support of a group setting, focused on expanding access to Medicaid-covered behavioral healthcare.

We're looking for passionate Mental Health Counselors (MHCs) to provide telehealth therapy to Medicaid members across Massachusetts while continuing to accrue clinical experience toward independent LMHC licensure.

For this opportunity, candidates must already have an established LMHC supervisor outside of Third Space who can provide the supervision required toward LMHC licensure. Third Space will provide additional clinical support and connect MHCs with our experienced independently licensed clinicians as part of our practice model.

This is a part-time, hourly W-2 position based in Massachusetts.

At Third Space Therapy, we offer

Flexible scheduling. Build a schedule that fits your life, with the stability of a steady caseload and a consistent paycheck.

Paid for all your work. You're paid for your time — including documentation, administrative work, and client no-shows — not just for sessions completed.

Clinical support. You'll have access to experienced independently licensed clinicians within Third Space for ongoing clinical guidance and support while maintaining your established external LMHC supervision.

Benefits. Health benefits, Massachusetts Earned Sick Time, and Paid Family and Medical Leave coverage.

Administrative support. Our team manages scheduling, insurance, billing, and other administrative responsibilities so you can focus on client care.

Robust referral network. Build a diverse caseload through our connections with insurers, universities, and community providers.

Cultural influence. Help shape the direction of a growing practice — your input on how we deliver care actually lands.

Remote practice model. Work from home or anywhere in Massachusetts, with the full support of a group practice behind you.

Community focus. Make a meaningful difference for Medicaid members and help close real gaps in access to behavioral healthcare.
