Telehealth THERAPIST, LPCC, LSW, SWC
Whole Connection. Boulder and Denver, Colorado.
- Statewide telehealth
- $42 to $54 per hour clinical
- $25 per hour administrative
- Supervision toward licensure included and paid
Application close date Sept 6th
Whole Connection is a trauma-informed group practice in Boulder and Denver. We also see clients across Colorado by telehealth. About 70% of our clients are on Health First Colorado (Medicaid), which almost no private practice in this state will take. Our clinicians speak Spanish, Somali, and Farsi.
We try to be the appointment, and we do not refer people out because we are full. That is why we hire ahead of demand instead of behind it. We have more referrals than clinicians, and we would rather have room than a waitlist.
We are hiring three to four therapists who are building hours toward licensure.
SUPERVISION AND YOUR LICENSURE HOURS
- If you are accruing hours, it is probably the most important thing about where you work, so here is ours in detail.
- You get individual supervision and our weekly two-hour training/supervision group.
- Your supervision time is paid at the administrative rate.
- We keep a running Supervision Log and a licensure-hour tracker for every candidate, so you always know how far you are from the hours you need. If supervision transfers or ends, your accrued hours are certified and your disclosure updated. No gap, no lost hours.
- Several of our clinicians are licensing this fall. That is the path this role is on. When you license, your rate moves to our licensed band, consultation continues every other week, and the training group stays open to you if you want to keep coming.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Clinical care
- Individual psychotherapy across the lifespan, including children and adolescents
- Family and couples sessions where they fit your caseload and your training
- Clinical assessments with diagnosis, risk assessment, level of care recommendation, and rationale
- PHQ-9 and GAD-7 at intake and at each reassessment
- Treatment planning and coordination with the client's other providers
- Crisis assessment and safety planning, with a supervisor always reachable
- Documentation
- Charting in our EHR, with a clinical scribe tool and documentation review support that cut down typing time
- Progress notes signed within 72 hours. Treatment plan within 3 sessions of a new client. Assessments and plans reviewed at least every 6 months.
- Accurate times, place of service, and coding, so claims go out clean the first time
- Team
- Remote does not mean alone. You'll have weekly virtual supervision, group consultation, and full membership in our clinical community.
- Weekly group supervision and monthly in-service training led by outside experts
- Case consultation with a supervision team that answers the phone
- Consultation continues after you license, every other week, paid
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Required:
- Master's degree or higher in counseling, social work, or a closely related field from an accredited program
- Must reside in Colorado and hold active Colorado licensure or registration (LPCC, SWC, or LSW).
- A private, HIPAA-compliant workspace and reliable high-speed internet.
- Registration with Colorado DORA as an LPCC, SWC, or LSW accruing hours toward licensure
- Comfort working in an EHR, and willingness to document to insurance standards
- Colorado candidate registration is required.
- A note for MFT candidates: Colorado requires an MFTC's supervisor of record to hold an active LMFT. We do not have one on staff, so we could not sign hours toward your licensure. We would rather say that plainly than waste your time.
Preferred:
- Evening and flexible telehealth availability is especially valued,
- Experience with Medicaid clients and with complex, under-resourced cases
- Couples or family therapy training: Gottman, EFT, structural or systemic, IFS-informed, or comparable. We pay extra for that work. See below.
- Trauma training (EMDR, somatic, or comparable)
- Availability that includes Denver in-person or evenings. Those are our tightest slots.
Newly registered and building your first caseload? Apply. We work with candidates at every stage, and Medicaid, which is most of our book, allows candidate-level clinicians to render care under supervision from day one. You will not sit empty waiting on paperwork.
PAY AND BENEFITS
- This is a W-2 employee position, not contract work. No self-employment tax, no buying your own malpractice coverage, no invoicing. Paid every two weeks through Gusto. Malpractice covered.
- Clinical rate: $42 to $54 per hour, based on experience.
- Administrative rate: $25 per hour. Documentation, care coordination, supervision, and team meetings are paid, not absorbed.
- Benefits: PTO and Sick Time, a 401(k) with a 6% employer match, and six paid holiday closures. Additional Monthly in-service training is included.
WHERE AND WHEN YOU WILL WORK
Telehealth runs 9 AM to 8 PM, so evenings are available if that fits your life better. Scheduling is hybrid, and we will build a mix that works for you and for the clients who need to be seen in person.
Pay: From $42.00 per hour
Benefits:
- 401(k)
- 401(k) matching
- Paid time off
- Retirement plan
Work Location: Remote

Therapist Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a therapist in Colorado?
Becoming a licensed therapist in Colorado requires a master's or doctoral degree in a qualifying mental health field followed by supervised post-degree clinical hours. Licensure is issued through the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, which oversees credentials including the Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist designations. Candidates must pass a national board exam and complete a background check before the license is granted.
Which companies hire therapists in Colorado?
Colorado therapist roles are posted by Voyage Health, Thriveworks, and CenterWell and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's mix of large hospital systems, federally qualified health centers, and nonprofit community mental health organizations means openings appear across both urban and rural parts of the state.
Which Colorado cities have the most therapist jobs?
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Greeley consistently post the most therapist openings in Colorado. Denver drives volume through its concentration of hospital systems, community mental health centers, and private group practices, while Colorado Springs and other metro areas see strong demand tied to military family services, university counseling programs, and regional healthcare networks anchoring those communities.
Are there remote therapist jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields, because talk therapy translates well to telehealth platforms. About 32% of therapist openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how widely Colorado providers adopted telehealth after its expansion. Outpatient individual and group therapy roles are the most likely to offer fully remote schedules, while crisis, residential, and intensive outpatient positions typically require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a therapist in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an associate-level or registered intern position at a community mental health center while you complete supervised hours toward full licensure. Jefferson Center for Mental Health, Mental Health Partners, and Mind Springs Health regularly hire candidates who hold a master's degree but have not yet reached independent licensure. Roles titled counseling intern, therapist resident, or case manager in behavioral health are common lateral entry points, and holding a Colorado registered psychotherapist credential through DORA allows you to begin seeing clients before full licensure is complete.
Where can I find and apply to therapist jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to therapist jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your license level, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
