Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Therapist Jobs at Mass General Brigham Jobs
Verify your licensure before applying
Massachusetts requires a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, or licensed psychologist credential for most Therapist roles. Confirm your foreign credentials are evaluated and that you've completed any state-required supervised hours before submitting applications.
Target roles in underserved specialty programs
Mass General Brigham's behavioral health departments serving pediatric, trauma, or substance use populations have historically shown stronger sponsorship willingness. Positions attached to federally funded programs or academic medical centers carry more institutional flexibility on immigration support.
Search open Therapist roles on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Mass General Brigham Therapist openings by visa sponsorship status so you're only applying to roles where H-1B support is confirmed, saving weeks of back-and-forth with HR teams.
Clarify sponsorship scope during the offer stage
Before signing, confirm whether Mass General Brigham will cover H-1B filing fees, attorney costs, and premium processing. Large academic health systems often have legal counsel on retainer, but cost coverage policies vary by department and role level.
Align your start date with H-1B cap timelines
If you're not currently in H-1B status, USCIS only accepts cap-subject petitions for an October 1 start date. Build your job search and offer negotiations around the April lottery registration window to avoid a gap in authorization.
Request an employer support letter covering clinical supervision
If you're still accumulating Massachusetts-required supervised clinical hours, ask the hiring department whether your offer letter can document supervisory arrangements. USCIS and DOL both require the H-1B petition to reflect the actual duties you'll perform from day one.

Find Therapist at Mass General Brigham JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Mass General Brigham sponsor H-1B visas for Therapists?
Yes, Mass General Brigham sponsors H-1B visas for Therapist roles. As a large academic health system, it has established immigration infrastructure and works with legal counsel to file H-1B petitions for qualifying clinical positions. Sponsorship availability can vary by department and role, so confirming support during the offer stage is advisable.
How do I apply for Therapist jobs at Mass General Brigham?
Applications go through Mass General Brigham's careers portal, where Therapist openings are listed by site and specialty. Migrate Mate also indexes these roles and lets you filter specifically for positions with H-1B sponsorship confirmed, which is useful if work authorization is a requirement. Tailor your application to the specific clinical population and care setting listed in each posting.
Which visa types are commonly used for Therapist roles at Mass General Brigham?
The H-1B is the primary visa pathway for Therapist roles at Mass General Brigham, as mental health counseling and clinical social work qualify as specialty occupations requiring a relevant bachelor's degree or higher. Candidates already holding TN status (for Canadians or Mexicans in qualifying clinical categories) or J-1 exchange visitor status through affiliated training programs may also be eligible depending on role structure.
What qualifications does Mass General Brigham expect for Therapist roles?
Most Therapist postings require a master's degree in social work, counseling, or a related behavioral health field, plus active Massachusetts licensure such as LICSW or LMHC. Roles tied to specialty populations, including pediatrics, oncology, or addiction services, often expect prior clinical experience in that setting. Foreign-trained applicants should have their academic credentials evaluated by a NACES-recognized organization before applying.
How long does the H-1B process typically take for a Therapist starting at Mass General Brigham?
For a cap-subject H-1B, the timeline runs from lottery registration in March to an earliest start date of October 1, roughly six to seven months. USCIS standard processing adds three to five months on top of lottery selection, though premium processing can reduce the adjudication window to about two to three weeks for an additional fee. Coordinate your offer acceptance and any state licensure steps around these federal deadlines.
