Cerebral

At Cerebral, we’re on a mission to democratize access to high-quality mental health care. We believe that everyone everywhere deserves to get the care they need, and are striving to make care convenient and accessible, while tackling the stigmas that surround mental illness. Since launching in January 2020, we have gone from a team of 5 to over 4,000 across the United States. With support from investors like SoftBank, Silver Lake, Access Industries, Bill Ackman, WestCap, and others, and impactful leaders like you, we’ll continue to democratize mental health care and double down on clinical quality and deliver exceptional patient outcomes for years to come. With a heavy focus on clinical quality and safety in all that we do, we’ve accomplished excellent patient outcomes: • 82% of patients report an improvement in their anxiety symptoms after using Cerebral. • 75% of patients who report improvement in their depression see improvement within 60 days. • 50% of patients who initially report suicidal ideation no longer harbor suicidal thoughts after treatment with Cerebral. This is just the beginning for Cerebral, and we won’t stop building, growing, and iterating until everyone, everywhere can access high-quality evidence-based mental health care without high costs and/or long wait times. We’re looking for mission-driven leaders who share these values, and we need your help as we transform access to high-quality mental health care in the United States and beyond.

Job description

Cerebral and Resilience Lab have joined forces to build a new standard in mental health care—one that emphasizes better outcomes through stronger clinical decision-making, rigorous training, and professional excellence. By combining Resilience Lab’s Methodology & clinically-led training Institute with Cerebral’s extensive reach, clinical network, and care capabilities, we are creating a national model for high-quality, integrated, and accessible behavioral health care. 

We believe quality mental health care starts with curiosity, professionalism, and mastery of clinical decision-making. Joining our team means committing to show up on your best foot every day where you’ll be equipped with structured training, supportive supervision, and a methodology designed to guide you in making sound clinical decisions.

The Role: 
We are seeking Therapy Associates (provisionally licensed clinicians) who want to develop expertise in clinical-decision making and lay the foundation for a lasting career. This role is about more than logging sessions – it’s about committing to professional excellence, curiosity, and applying our Methodology to deliver better outcomes for clients. 

Training kicks off with a two-week, structured program delivered live through online video sessions from 12–2 pm ET, plus asynchronous assignments. Continue growing through ongoing learning and supervision that emphasizes reflection, reasoning, and quality clinical judgement. From your very first interaction, you are expected to put your best foot forward—professional, present, and focused on delivering high-quality care. By embracing our approach, you will gain the skills and judgment that will guide your career in mental health care.

This is a W-2 Fee-for-Service position, offering $55.00 per unit of time worked.

  • Comfortable collaborating with prescribers who are managing clients’ medications
  • Knowledgeable in crisis response, with strong evidence-based clinical skills & experience implementing measurement informed care
  • Empathetic and intuitive listening with strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Comfortable working autonomously in a telemedicine environment, balancing independence and asking for help

What you’ll do:

  • Participate in supervision to reflect on client sessions, explore transference and countertransference, further develop your clinical decision-making skills and evaluate clinical outcomes through review of intake notes, treatment plans, assessments, and progress notes
  • Commit to quality and professionalism in every client interaction — how you show up on camera, how you communicate, and how you model trust are central to client outcomes
  • Create your own flexible schedule (scheduled time must fall within the hours of 6:00am to 11:30pm per your specific timezone)
    • Minimum of 20 hours of weekly availability is required so you have the ability to build your caseload longer term
    • Maintain a minimum of 50 sessions per month by the end of your 20th week, and continue caseload growth thereafter

  • Work alongside other like-minded clinicians that have a common goal to positively impact the lives of others, and create an environment that leads to favorable outcomes for clients
  • Join optional monthly company-wide Town Halls to stay connected and informed, or view the recording if unable to attend live
  • Join a professional community dedicated to raising the standard of care and building the next generation of clinical leaders
