Independent franchisees are Equal Opportunity employers committed to diverse and inclusive workforces. Franchisees are independent business people and not employed by Ellie Family Services, PLLP, d/b/a “Ellie Mental Health”, Ellie MSO, LLC, or Ellie FAM LLC. Thus, each franchisee and each franchisee clinic is unique and the franchisee is alone responsible for all employment matters in their clinic, including the terms and conditions of employment for their employees, such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing and scheduling. Depending on the clinic location you select, the job for which you apply may be in a clinic owned and operated by an independent franchisee, and not with the corporate-owned clinics, which are based in Minnesota. This means the franchisee, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP, is responsible for all employment matters at the clinic. If you are hired for the job, the franchisee will be your employer, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP or any of its affiliated entities. For franchisee clinic locations, please contact the franchisee organization directly to the extent you need assistance in completing forms or otherwise participating in that franchisee’s application process.

Search Outpatient Therapist Jobs in TexasOutpatient Therapist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for outpatient therapists in Texas?
Large health systems are the most consistent sponsors for outpatient therapist roles in Texas. Employers like Baylor Scott & White Health, UT Health, Methodist Health System, and community mental health centers such as MHMR of Tarrant County have histories of sponsoring clinical staff. Federally Qualified Health Centers and nonprofit behavioral health organizations also sponsor, particularly for roles in underserved areas.
Which visa types realistically fit outpatient therapist roles in Texas?
H-1B is the most common path, as outpatient therapy qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a master's degree in counseling, social work, or a related field. Employers file a Labor Condition Application and I-129 petition with USCIS. EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based green cards are available for longer-term sponsorship. J-1 visa exchange visitor status is also used for clinical training placements through designated sponsor organizations. TN visa does not cover outpatient therapist roles.
Which cities in Texas have the most outpatient therapist sponsorship jobs?
Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth lead in volume due to their large hospital networks and population density. San Antonio has a notable concentration of behavioral health employers serving both civilian and military-connected populations. Austin's growing tech sector has driven increased demand for employer-sponsored mental health services. Smaller markets like El Paso and Lubbock also have sponsorship opportunities, often tied to academic medical centers or community health programs.
How to find outpatient therapist visa sponsorship jobs in Texas?
Migrate Mate lists outpatient therapist roles in Texas filtered to employers with verified visa sponsorship history, so you can focus on positions where sponsorship is already established rather than asking cold. Search by city to compare Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio openings. Filtering by role lets you identify which Texas health systems and behavioral health organizations are actively hiring international licensed therapists.
Are there any Texas-specific considerations for outpatient therapists seeking visa sponsorship?
Texas requires a state license from the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors or the Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners, depending on your credential. International candidates must have their foreign degrees evaluated for equivalency before applying for licensure. Some Texas employers, particularly those with federally designated shortage area status, have stronger incentive and infrastructure to sponsor clinical staff due to ongoing recruitment challenges in underserved communities.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored outpatient therapist jobs in Texas?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
