Therapist Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a therapist in Arizona?
Licensure in Arizona is issued by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, which oversees credentials including the Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Licensed Associate Counselor. You will need a master's degree in a qualifying clinical field, completion of supervised post-graduate hours, and passage of the relevant national board exam before the Board grants full licensure.
Which companies hire therapists in Arizona?
Employers hiring therapists in Arizona right now include Optum, Banner Health, and PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Surprise, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Arizona's large integrated health systems and community behavioral health organizations account for the majority of ongoing openings across the state.
Which Arizona cities have the most therapist jobs?
Phoenix, Tucson, and Surprise have the most therapist openings in Arizona. The Phoenix metro dominates due to its concentration of hospital systems, community mental health centers, and school districts, while Tucson's openings are anchored by the University of Arizona Health Network and a strong network of nonprofit behavioral health agencies serving southern Arizona communities.
Are there remote therapist jobs in Arizona?
Yes, and more than many clinical roles, given that talk therapy and counseling can translate well to a telehealth format. About 13% of therapist openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the continued expansion of telehealth platforms and outpatient group practices offering virtual sessions. Roles focused on assessment, intake, or case management tend to have the highest remote availability.
How can I get hired as a therapist in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is an associate-level position held under licensed supervision while you accumulate the hours required for full Arizona licensure. Banner Health, Valleywise Health, and Arizona's regional community behavioral health organizations regularly hire candidates with a new master's degree into supervised associate counselor or therapist resident roles. Completing a practicum or internship with a recognized Arizona agency, holding an active Licensed Associate Counselor credential from the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, and having a fingerprint clearance card already in hand all give candidates a concrete edge in early hiring.
Where can I find and apply to therapist jobs in Arizona?
