Licensed Therapist Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed therapist in New York?
Licensure in New York runs through the New York State Education Department, which oversees the LMHC and LCSW credentials along with other clinical licenses. Most paths require a master's degree in a qualifying clinical program, completion of supervised post-graduate hours under an approved supervisor, and passing a state-recognized licensure exam such as the NCE or ASWB. Candidates apply directly to the Office of the Professions within the State Education Department to receive their license before practicing independently.
Which companies hire licensed therapists in New York?
Employers hiring licensed therapists in New York right now include Ivyrehab Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy & Speech-Language Pathology, Pllc, Equinox, and Equinox Holdings, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's large integrated health systems and its extensive network of state-funded community mental health clinics create consistent volume across all five boroughs and upstate regions.
Which New York cities have the most licensed therapist jobs?
New York, Brooklyn, and Mamaroneck have the most licensed therapist openings in New York right now. New York City drives the largest share by far given the concentration of hospital systems, nonprofit behavioral health agencies, and private group practices there, while Albany's volume reflects the state government and state agency infrastructure, and Buffalo's openings are anchored by its regional hospital networks and community health centers.
Are there remote licensed therapist jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields. About 16% of licensed therapist openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how widely New York adopted telehealth following the expansion of insurance parity for virtual mental health services. Individual therapy, psychiatric medication management support, and employee assistance program counseling are the sub-areas where fully remote roles appear most consistently.
How can I get hired as a licensed therapist in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a post-graduate clinical fellowship or associate therapist role at a community mental health center, where supervised hours count toward full licensure while you earn a paycheck. NYC Health + Hospitals and the New York State Office of Mental Health both run structured new-graduate programs that pair unlicensed master's-level clinicians with licensed supervisors. Case manager and crisis counselor roles at organizations serving the unhoused or justice-involved populations are also common lateral entry points that build the documented hours needed for LMHC or LCSW licensure.
Where can I find and apply to licensed therapist jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to licensed therapist jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current New York openings updated regularly. Search the listings, find roles that fit your license type, specialty, and preferred location or schedule, and apply directly to the employer through the posting.
