Job Description
UpLift – Redefining Access to Mental Healthcare At UpLift, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health — and we’re rethinking the mental healthcare model.
UpLift is a multi-sided marketplace, applying technology to empower patients to find Therapists and Psychiatric providers covered by their insurance plan. While 1 in 5 Americans struggle with mental health issues, only 40% of this group received care in the last year.
At the same time, only 30% of therapists accept insurance. UpLift acts as the bridge between patient, provider, and insurer — empowering patients to find the best care for their needs at a price they can afford.
Why Join UpLift Estimated Effective Hourly Earnings*
Earnings between $119 to $242 per hour is based on a 60-minute session assumption that includes a combination of patient visits and hourly equivalent CPT codes.

Collaborative model: Work hand-in-hand with UpLift’s network of licensed therapists to deliver world-class, evidence-based care. All-in-one virtual platform: Focus on your patients — UpLift handles credentialing, enrollment, and platform operations.
