Job Description

Are you a DC-licensed clinician with experience working with adolescents who wants a telehealth-first role without losing the connection to school-based care?

MBI Health Services, LLC is seeking School-Based Telehealth Therapists (LICSW or LPC) to provide behavioral health services to high school students, adult learners, and online school students attending DC Public and Public Charter Schools that do not have an on-site DBH-funded clinician. This role is primarily telehealth, with limited in-person availability required for school meetings or trainings as needed.

In this role, you will maintain an active caseload of approximately 15 students while providing evidence-based therapy, completing diagnostic assessments and treatment plans, and collaborating with school staff and families to support student success. Clinicians are expected to provide approximately 25 billable SIDA hours per week using a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.

What this role offers:

• A telehealth-first service model
• Meaningful school-based clinical work without daily on-site requirements
• Collaboration with schools while maintaining clinical autonomy
• The opportunity to support students who may otherwise lack access to care

If you’re looking for a role that balances flexibility, impact, and school-based clinical work through telehealth, we’d love to connect.
