Entry Level Mental Health Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level mental health therapist job?
Start by completing your supervised clinical hours and securing any required state licensure or provisional license, since most entry level postings require at least a master's degree in counseling, social work, or a related field. Internship and practicum experience carries significant weight at this stage, so highlight specific populations you worked with and therapeutic modalities you practiced. Employers also look for candidates who are actively pursuing licensure rather than waiting until they are fully licensed.
Which companies hire entry level mental health therapists?
Companies hiring entry level mental health therapists right now include LifeStance Health, CVS Health, and MultiCare Health System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of outpatient clinics, community mental health centers, behavioral health networks, and school districts that regularly bring on new and provisionally licensed therapists.
Are there remote entry level mental health therapist jobs?
Yes, though telehealth roles at the entry level often require a state license or a provisional credential before you can see clients independently. About 50% of entry level mental health therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with many of those positions based at behavioral health platforms and multi-state group practices that support new therapists through supervision.
Are these new grad mental health therapist jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior mental health therapist roles alongside other entry level openings. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts a provisional or associate license, and counts internship, practicum, or fellowship hours toward the experience requirement rather than demanding post-licensure work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level mental health therapists?
Entry Level mental health therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Consulting & Professional Services, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this stage because they rely on high caseload volume, offer built-in clinical supervision structures, and actively recruit candidates who are still working toward full licensure.
