Therapist Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a therapist in Georgia?
Becoming a licensed therapist in Georgia requires completing a qualifying master's or doctoral degree, then applying for licensure through the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists. Depending on your discipline, you will need supervised postgraduate hours and must pass the relevant national examination. Common credentials include the Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist designations.
Which companies hire therapists in Georgia?
Employers hiring therapists in Georgia right now include Blue Gems ABA, Advocate Aurora Health, and BenchMark Physical Therapy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's large hospital networks, state-funded behavioral health agencies, and expanding outpatient group practices are among the most consistent sources of open positions across the state.
Which Georgia cities have the most therapist jobs?
Atlanta, Cumming, and Lawrenceville have the most therapist openings in Georgia. Atlanta drives the highest volume given its concentration of hospital systems, university training programs, and private group practices, while Augusta and Savannah sustain steady demand through their regional medical centers, Veterans Affairs facilities, and growing outpatient behavioral health networks.
Are there remote therapist jobs in Georgia?
Yes, and more than many clinical roles, since licensed therapists can legally provide telehealth services across state lines under Georgia's telehealth policies. About 39% of therapist openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how broadly the profession has adopted virtual care. Individual therapy and outpatient counseling sessions are the most common services delivered fully remotely.
How can I get hired as a therapist in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is pursuing a supervised associate-level position while completing your required postgraduate hours toward full licensure in Georgia. Large employers such as Wellstar Health System and community mental health centers funded through the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities regularly hire associate-level clinicians for this purpose. Roles such as case manager, behavioral health technician, or crisis support specialist at these organizations frequently serve as lateral entry points, and holding an active Associate Professional Counselor or Registered Social Work Intern designation with the Georgia Composite Board strengthens your candidacy significantly.
Where can I find and apply to therapist jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to therapist jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your license type, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
