Who's Hiring
Counselor Jobs in Denver: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a counselor job in Denver?
Denver's strongest hiring comes from behavioral health agencies, Denver Public Schools, and community mental health centers clustered in Capitol Hill, Baker, and the Colfax corridor. Candidates with experience in trauma-informed care, substance use treatment, or school-based counseling have a clear edge in this market. Volunteering with Denver Human Services or completing a practicum at a local community health center helps you build the local network that most Denver employers actually hire from.
Which companies hire counselors in Denver?
Denver counselor roles are posted by WellPower, ICON Eyecare, and Regis University and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Denver's hiring landscape includes a mix of large hospital systems, nonprofit community health organizations, and the Denver metro school districts.
Are there remote counselor jobs in Denver?
Yes, though remote availability depends heavily on the role, since direct client-facing counseling is largely on-site while case management and administrative counseling positions offer more flexibility. About 100% of counselor openings tied to Denver are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the broader telehealth expansion in Colorado. Telehealth and EAP counseling roles tied to Denver employers tend to offer the most consistent remote options.
How can I get a counselor job in Denver with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Denver is through a case manager or behavioral health technician role at one of the city's community mental health centers, which regularly hire candidates who are still completing licensure hours. Denver nonprofits like harm reduction organizations along the Colfax corridor and crisis stabilization units often hire entry-level staff who are working toward licensure. Building hours at a Denver practicum site and connecting with Colorado Community Health Alliance member organizations puts early-career candidates directly in front of the employers who hire most consistently.
