Entry Level Social Worker Psychotherapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level social worker psychotherapist job?
Entry level social worker psychotherapist roles typically require a master's degree in social work or a related counseling field, along with supervised clinical hours completed during your program. Employers at this stage look for candidates with practicum or internship experience in community mental health, hospital, or school settings. Licensure progress, such as working toward an LCSW or LMFT, gives new applicants a clear edge over those who have not yet started the credentialing process.
Which companies hire entry level social worker psychotherapists?
Companies hiring entry level social worker psychotherapists right now include Sutter Health, OSF HealthCare, and Fairview Health Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring is spread across community mental health centers, nonprofit behavioral health agencies, hospital systems, and outpatient therapy practices that actively recruit new graduates and junior clinicians to fill associate or staff therapist roles.
Are there remote entry level social worker psychotherapist jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still favor on-site or hybrid arrangements to support clinical supervision requirements. About 23% of entry level social worker psychotherapist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with telehealth platforms and larger behavioral health organizations most likely to offer fully remote positions to candidates who are already licensed or close to licensure.
Are these new grad social worker psychotherapist jobs?
Yes, the openings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior social worker psychotherapist roles. A posting is considered new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts graduate-level internships or practicum hours toward the requirement, or explicitly accepts a portfolio of supervised clinical work in place of post-degree employment history.
Which industries hire the most entry level social worker psychotherapists?
Entry Level social worker psychotherapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Non-Profit & Social Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive the most entry level hiring because they rely on a steady pipeline of newly credentialed clinicians to meet high caseload demand and fulfill supervision structures that are well suited to supporting junior therapists early in their careers.
