Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC)

About the role

Third Space Therapy combines the independence of private practice with the support of a group setting, focused on expanding Medicaid-covered behavioral healthcare.

We're looking for passionate Associate Therapists to provide telehealth therapy to the Medicaid population. We handle the administrative side - billing, insurance, credentialing - so you can focus on care.

Why clinicians work with us

• Complete flexibility. You set your own hours and availability, decide which referrals to take, and build the caseload that works for you.
• Administrative support. We handle insurance, billing, and credentialing, and clients book into the availability you set.
• Robust referral network. Build a diverse caseload through our connections with insurers, universities, and community providers.
• Supervision support. We'll help match you with an independently licensed supervisor in our practice, at no cost to you, so you can keep accruing hours toward full licensure.
• Remote practice model. Enjoy the independence of private practice with the backing of a group - from wherever you work.
• Paid per session. You're paid for the clinical work you deliver, at a competitive rate.
• Meaningful work. Make a real difference for Medicaid members and help close gaps in access to care.

What you'll bring

• A valid LAC license in good standing in the state of Arizona
• A Master’s degree in Counseling with at least 6 months of hands-on therapy or assessment experience
• Your own malpractice coverage ($1M per occurrence / $3M aggregate)
• Comfort with EHR systems and other digital tools
• A quiet, HIPAA-compliant home office, plus your own computer and reliable internet, for confidential virtual sessions
• Fluency in English; proficiency in Spanish is preferred, and additional languages are a plus

We're looking for therapists who bring

• A solid grasp of mental health diagnoses
• Knowledge of crafting effective, personalized treatment plans
• A collaborative spirit to work alongside clients in achieving their goals
• Skill in conducting thorough assessments to inform care strategies
