Join the First National Mental Health Platform Built for People with Chronic Illness
Spoonly is an integrative mental health collective offering private-pay care for people living with chronic illness. We provide compassionate, whole-person care that addresses the emotional, physical, and systemic challenges our clients face. Our services include therapy, psychiatry, somatic support, health coaching, and functional nutrition.
We’re expanding our founding therapist team and are looking for fully licensed, values-aligned mental health professionals who want to practice on their own terms while making a meaningful impact.
The Role
We’re seeking a licensed therapist to join our founding team as a 1099 independent contractor. You’ll work with adults navigating chronic illness, trauma, grief, caregiving, and life transitions.
This role may begin as very part-time, with income building gradually in the first 1–3 months.
Because we’re onboarding clinicians in advance of our public launch, there may be a short delay between your start date and when client referrals begin. We’re intentionally building a stable, high-quality system before scaling quickly through strategic marketing.
Why Choose Spoonly
High pay, low admin: Earn $90 per session with no insurance billing, reimbursement hassles, or productivity quotas.
Total flexibility: See 2 or 20 clients per week. You set your schedule, and clients book based on your availability.
Meaningful care: Support clients navigating chronic illness, pain, fatigue, long COVID, trauma, grief, caregiving, and life transitions.
Strong backend support: Access to intake forms, scheduling, client reminders, and tech setup through our secure telehealth platform.
Simple, sustainable structure: Sessions include time for documentation, and you’re paid monthly via direct deposit.
