Join the Team at Therapy by the Bay LLC

Therapy by the Bay is an intentional, telehealth-only psychotherapy practice serving clients across Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Texas. We specialize in eating disorders, OCD and phobias, acute and complex trauma, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, and related conditions rooted in attachment wounds and emotional dysregulation.

We are building a team of clinicians who value structure, clinical depth, and sustainability — not volume or burnout.

Position Types

Licensed Clinicians (1099 Contractor Role)

This is a 1099 independent contractor position designed for licensed therapists who want flexibility, autonomy, and a focused clinical niche.

You will:

  • Set your availability and manage your caseload

  • Work fully remote (HIPAA-compliant environment required)

  • Maintain autonomy while operating within structured clinical standards

We are specifically seeking licensed clinicians who:

  • Hold independent licensure (LCSW, LMFT, LPC, etc.)

  • Specialize in at least one evidence-based modality (e.g., ERP, IFS, CPT, DBT, ACT, etc.)

  • Have strong interest and competence in treating:

    • Eating disorders

    • Anxiety, OCD, and phobias

    • Acute and complex trauma

    • Borderline personality disorder

    • Mood disorders and related conditions

    • Developmental trauma

    • Intergenerational trauma / Attachment & Parenting Patterns

    • Relational trauma / attachment trauma

    • Persistent Complex Bereavement / Traumatic loss

    • Medical trauma or trauma related to living with chronic illness and/or disability

You do not need to specialize in everything — but you must have a clear niche and a commitment to evidence-based treatment.

Supervised Clinical Student Interns (Unpaid Internship)

We also offer unpaid clinical internship placements for graduate-level students enrolled in accredited programs. I only take two per semester.

Interns must:

  • Be eligible to provide telehealth under supervision

  • Program must allow 100% remote placement

  • Be open to structured feedback and clinical rigor

  • Have strong interest in working with eating disorders, complex trauma, and emotionally dysregulated patients.

  • Be willing to learn and develop competency in DBT-informed, schema-informed, and structured behavioral approaches

This is a highly supervised, growth-focused environment. Interns receive mentorship, case consultation, and structured clinical development in complex presentations. We are invested in raising the next generation of clinicians in these specialty areas.

Generalist Student Interns (Non-Clinical Placement) (Unpaid Internship)

We also accept students in their generalist year who are not yet eligible to provide psychotherapy. This is an unpaid internship focused on foundational skill-building within a structured, compliance-oriented private practice. I only take two per semester.

Generalist interns do not provide therapy or clinical services. Instead, they gain exposure to the operational, administrative, and ethical infrastructure of a specialized telehealth practice.

Responsibilities May Include:

  • This placement is designed for students who are genuinely interested in developing clinical depth within a structured, evidence-based practice. Generalist interns do not provide therapy or independent clinical recommendations. However, this role provides meaningful, structured exposure to high-quality psychotherapy practice and prepares students for advanced clinical internship.

  • Program must allow 100% remote placement

    Responsibilities may include:

    • Assisting with client onboarding and scheduling within a HIPAA-compliant telehealth framework

    • Responding to general inquiries under supervision with professionalism and clear communication

    • Observing individual and group therapy sessions (with client consent) to study rapport-building, structured interventions, behavioral analysis, and risk assessment processes

    • Observing case consultation and supervision meetings to learn diagnostic formulation, treatment planning, and ethical decision-making

    • Assisting with continuity-of-care coordination by compiling and organizing referrals to PCPs, psychiatrists, dietitians, higher levels of care, or outside therapists when clinically indicated or upon discharge

    • Supporting intake documentation organization and learning how medical necessity and diagnostic impressions are structured

    • Contributing to psychotherapy-informed blog posts and social media content that reflect evidence-based principles (e.g., DBT skills, trauma education, OCD exposure concepts, eating disorder psychoeducation)

    • Assisting in the development of client-facing educational resources aligned with the populations we serve

    • Learning telehealth compliance standards, documentation workflows, and ethical private practice systems

    • Supporting quality assurance and policy refinement initiatives

    This is not a passive internship. We are seeking students who are intellectually curious, emotionally mature, and serious about developing competency in complex clinical presentations such as eating disorders, OCD, trauma, personality disorders, and mood disorders.

Our Culture

We are:

  • 100% remote

  • Structured and compliance-focused

  • Evidence-based

  • Warm but clinically rigorous

  • Collaborative without micromanagement

We reject:

  • Productivity quotas that compromise care

  • Overscheduled caseloads

  • “Always on” expectations

  • Administrative chaos

  • Judgmental or exclusionary workplace culture

We believe sustainable clinicians provide better therapy.

Clinical Expectations

We maintain high standards:

  • DSM-5-TR–anchored diagnostic formulation

  • Clear medical necessity documentation

  • Strong risk assessment and crisis management skills

  • Evidence-based treatment planning

  • Ethical telehealth practice

  • Defined niche development

We want clinicians who are authentically themselves — not blank slate therapists — while maintaining professionalism and boundaries.

We are proudly neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming, and inclusive of clinicians with disabilities or chronic illness. Psychological safety matters here.
