Licensed Therapist Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed therapist in Massachusetts?
Becoming a licensed therapist in Massachusetts requires earning a qualifying master's or doctoral degree and completing supervised clinical hours before applying through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Services Professions. The most common licenses are the Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, each with specific supervised hour requirements set by the Board. Passing a national clinical examination is required for all three credentials before the Board issues a license.
Which companies hire licensed therapists in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring licensed therapists in Massachusetts right now include Optum, Thriveworks, and EmpowerMe Wellness, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Massachusetts's dense network of academic medical centers, community behavioral health agencies, and integrated health systems means licensed therapist openings are distributed across both large institutional employers and smaller specialty group practices throughout the state.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most licensed therapist jobs?
Boston, Massachusetts, and Worcester have the most licensed therapist openings in Massachusetts. Boston dominates because of its concentration of academic medical centers, community mental health agencies, and private group practices, while Worcester and Springfield anchor significant public behavioral health networks that serve large regional populations and drive steady demand for licensed clinicians outside the Boston metro.
Are there remote licensed therapist jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields, because teletherapy has become a standard mode of care for licensed therapists. About 50% of licensed therapist openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how widely Massachusetts insurers and employers now reimburse telehealth sessions. Outpatient individual therapy and some group therapy roles are the most consistently remote, while crisis, residential, and school-based positions remain in-person.
How can I get hired as a licensed therapist in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a clinical trainee, unlicensed clinician, or case manager role at a Massachusetts community mental health center while completing supervised hours toward full licensure. Organizations such as the Riverside Community Care network, South Shore Mental Health, and the Dimock Center in Boston regularly hire pre-licensed clinicians and provide the structured supervision required by the Massachusetts Board. Holding a provisional license or a completed internship at a Massachusetts Board-approved site gives candidates a clear edge in these hiring processes.
Where can I find and apply to licensed therapist jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to licensed therapist jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings across community agencies, hospital systems, private practices, and school-based programs. Find the roles that fit your license type, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to each employer through the listing.
