Women's Mental Health Therapist - Illinois

FamilyWell Health is hiring a Women's Mental Health Therapist to provide virtual therapy to patients in Illinois. The role is part-time, 10 to 30 hours per week, and you would work as a 1099 contractor from anywhere in the United States. FamilyWell is an AI-enabled mental health start-up that embeds mental health care into OB/Gyn practices, and this position sits in its Care Operations department.

This job is for a licensed therapist who can practice independently in Illinois and wants to focus on women's mental health across the reproductive lifecycle, from fertility through menopause.

What you will do

• Provide individual tele-therapy to patients who request regular sessions, using FamilyWell's virtual platform.
• Conduct one-on-one psychological intakes for referred FamilyWell program patients, gathering assessments that inform treatment planning.
• Document patient progress and share treatment recommendations with medical providers, psychiatric consultants, and other treating professionals as needed.
• Modify treatment plans for patients who need more intensive or specialized mental health care, making sure interventions happen on time.
• Develop and deliver Care Plans after sessions, giving patients actionable insights and follow-up steps.

What they are looking for

You must be a licensed mental health provider with an active license in Illinois and be able to practice independently, without supervision. Qualifying licenses include:

• Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)
• Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
• Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)
• Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT)
• Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

FamilyWell strongly prefers formal perinatal, peri, or menopause mental health training, or at least one year of clinical experience working with pregnant, postpartum, or peri/menopause patients.

Two certifications are recommended but not required: Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International, and proof of certification in treating the peri/menopause population.

The role also calls for strong written and verbal communication, comfort collaborating across different teams, proficiency with tele-therapy platforms and virtual care, and a commitment to patient-centered care. FamilyWell wants someone driven to improve women's mental health care, especially for vulnerable patient populations.
