Entry Level Child Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level child therapist job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for completed clinical hours, a relevant graduate degree in counseling, social work, or psychology, and any supervised experience with children or adolescents. A strong internship placement, letters from supervisors, and familiarity with evidence-based approaches like CBT or play therapy give candidates a clear edge over others with similar academic backgrounds.
Which companies hire entry level child therapists?
Companies hiring entry level child therapists right now include LifeStance Health, Sea Mar Community Health Centers, and Compass Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from community mental health centers, pediatric outpatient clinics, school districts, and nonprofit behavioral health organizations that build their staff around newly licensed or pre-licensed clinicians.
Are there remote entry level child therapist jobs?
Yes, though remote availability varies by state licensure rules and client population. About 54% of entry level child therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with telehealth platforms and group practices most likely to post fully remote roles for candidates who hold or are working toward licensure.
Are these new grad child therapist jobs?
Yes, this page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior child therapist roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or practicums toward the requirement, or explicitly invites pre-licensed candidates working toward their associate or full clinical license. Look for phrases like 'will train' or 'supervision provided' as strong signals.
Which industries hire the most entry level child therapists?
Entry Level child therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they operate on billable-hour or grant-funded models that rely on a steady pipeline of newly trained clinicians to meet growing demand for pediatric mental health services.
