Description
Summary:
Seeking a licensed therapist and certified ketamine coach to provide virtual individual psychotherapy sessions, facilitating integration of esketamine experiences within an evidence-based framework.
Highlights:
1. Facilitate therapeutic processing and integration of esketamine experiences
2. Collaborate with a psychiatric team on shared patient care coordination
3. Meaningful work at the leading edge of psychiatric medicine
**The Role**
We are looking for a licensed therapist who is also a certified ketamine coach to join our care team as an independent contractor. This is a fully virtual, telehealth\-based position.
You will provide individual psychotherapy sessions via HIPAA\-compliant telehealth the day following each patient's Spravato treatment — during the induction phase and through the first four weeks of maintenance. Your role is to help patients process, integrate, and extract meaning from their esketamine experience within the framework of an evidence\-based therapy session.
Sessions are billed to insurance as standard outpatient psychotherapy. All documentation must reflect evidence\-based therapeutic modalities consistent with payer requirements. Ketamine coaching informs your clinical approach — it does not replace it.
**What You'll Do**
* Conduct virtual individual psychotherapy sessions the day after each patient's Spravato treatment
* Facilitate therapeutic processing and integration of esketamine experiences
* Support patients through the full induction phase and approximately the first 4 weeks of maintenance
* Collaborate with our psychiatric team (MD, PMHNP) on shared patient care coordination
* Complete HIPAA\-compliant clinical documentation within 24 hours of each session
* Obtain and document telehealth informed consent per Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners requirements
**What We're Looking For**
* Active, unrestricted Arizona behavioral health license: LPC, LCSW, or LMFT
* Certified ketamine\-assisted psychotherapy or ketamine coaching credential from a recognized training program
* Comfortable working as an independent contractor within a medical clinic environment
* Telehealth competency and a reliable HIPAA\-compliant platform setup
* Experience with or strong clinical interest in psychedelic integration and altered\-state therapies
* Grounded, steady presence — you know how to hold space after a non\-ordinary experience
* Strong documentation habits and familiarity with insurance billing standards for outpatient therapy
**Compensation \& Structure**
* 60% revenue share on all insurance reimbursements collected for your sessions
* 1099 independent contractor — set your own schedule around existing commitments
* 100% virtual — work from anywhere in Arizona, no commute required
* Next\-day sessions only — no observation room requirements, no same\-day constraints
* Current volume: 20 patients per week, targeting 40 by end of summer 2026
* Credentialing administered through Headway — faster onboarding, strong payer rates
**About Unchained Psychiatry \& Wellness**
Unchained Psychiatry \& Wellness is a REMS\-certified interventional psychiatry clinic in Gilbert, AZ specializing in treatment\-resistant mood disorders. We offer Spravato (esketamine), IV ketamine, TMS, medication management, and integrative wellness services. Our model is built on the belief that the best outcomes happen when medical precision and therapeutic presence work together — and that belief is exactly what this role is built on.
We are a small, mission\-driven team. We move fast, communicate well, and take our patients seriously. If you're looking for a place to do meaningful work at the leading edge of psychiatric medicine, this is it.
**Why Unchained**
We are not a therapy platform. We are a psychiatric clinic that believes therapy belongs inside a ketamine program — and we're building the structure to make that happen properly. You'll work alongside a Medical Director, a PMHNP Clinic Director, and a nursing team that actually wants to talk to you about shared patients.
This is a ground\-floor opportunity in a growing specialty. Interventional psychiatry with integrated therapy is where the field is heading. We're already there.
