Job Description

About Paired

Paired’s mission is to help couples stay in love. Our app is a fun, safe space where couples explore their relationship and grow together through research-backed questions, games and quizzes that build key relationship skills in 5 minutes a day.

Our app is the #1 couples app globally with more than 12M downloads, 250,000 daily active users, and £5M of fundraising to date. We’ve won multiple awards from Apple and Google, recognising us for our innovative approach to romantic relationship health.

About the Role

Paired is launching relationship therapy, and we’re looking for licensed therapists who love working with couples and individuals to join our founding clinical team.

You’ll provide therapy to clients by video sessions linked through Paired’s app. Clients come from our community of motivated couples and individuals who already use Paired to invest in their relationships.

You’ll work in our couples-first EHR, built around relational work. Partners are linked as a clinical unit for video sessions, treatment plans, messaging and documentation, so you’re not working around a system designed only for individual clients.

You’ll set your own schedule like in private practice, while we handle the admin: insurance credentialing, billing and claims. You don’t need to be credentialed before joining our team.

  • What you’ll do
  • Provide telehealth therapy to couples and individuals, focused on relationship health
  • Assess, diagnose and create treatment plans based on your clinical judgment
  • Keep timely, accurate clinical documentation in our EHR
  • Follow our safety and escalation protocols, including for risk and intimate partner violence concerns
  • Optionally, help shape Paired’s clinical approach and give feedback on the client experience
  • An active, independent license (LMFT, LPC/LMHC, LCSW or psychologist) in Florida
  • At least 2 years of post-licensure experience, including couples therapy

Training in an evidence-based couples approach (e. g. Gottman, EFT) is a plus

  • An NPI number and a current CAQH profile
  • Your own professional liability (malpractice) insurance
  • A private, HIPAA-compliant workspace and reliable internet
  • Based in the U.S.

Guaranteed income for your first 3 months: we guarantee 5 paid sessions per week (at least $350 a week) when you offer 5 hours of weekly availability, even if they’re not all booked.

$70 per 50-minute session, $80 at peak times: peak is sessions starting between 5 and 7pm on weekdays, in the client’s time zone.

After 3 months: you’re paid for every session you deliver at the same rates, and no-shows and late cancellations are still paid.

Paid for No-shows and Late Cancellations

Free CEU credits and clinical consultation: ongoing professional development and case support from our clinical team

Motivated clients, no marketing needed: couples and individuals from Paired’s community, already invested in their relationships and matched to your specialties

An EHR built for couples work: partners linked as a clinical unit, with shared and individual treatment plans, secure messaging and streamlined documentation

No billing or admin work: our team handles insurance credentialing, verification, billing and claims

Flexible scheduling: after your first 3 months, set your own availability. We ask founding therapists to offer at least 5 hours a week where possible, and you can open up more hours anytime. Every session is paid at the same rates.

No Platform or Referral Fees

  • Help shape what’s next: as a founding therapist, your feedback will shape Paired’s clinical approach and product
  • Hiring process
  • Apply: answer a few short questions and upload your CV or resume
  • Verification: we confirm your license and credentials and proof of malpractice insurance
  • Clinical interview: 45-minute video call with our clinical lead
  • Offer and onboarding
