*Little Otter* California-Licensed Child & Family Therapist (Virtual, Measurement-Based Care, Part-Time)

Remote

Little Otter, part of Hazel Health, is transforming how children and families access mental health care. Founded by clinicians, Little Otter delivers evidence-based, whole-family behavioral health through a virtual care model that combines expert therapy, psychiatry, parent coaching, and measurement-based care to improve outcomes for children and caregivers.

Following the partnership between Little Otter and Hazel Health, we're expanding access to comprehensive pediatric mental health care nationwide. Together, we're helping more children and families receive high-quality, coordinated care wherever they are.

As a Little Otter clinician, you'll practice within our structured, evidence-based care model while being supported by the scale, technology, and mission of Hazel Health.

The Role

As a Little Otter Licensed Child & Family Therapist, you'll provide virtual, evidence-based therapy to children and families using our clinician-developed, measurement-based care model. You'll conduct comprehensive assessments, deliver individualized treatment, and use standardized clinical measures to guide diagnosis, monitor progress, and inform treatment decisions.

This role is ideal for clinicians who enjoy combining high-quality therapeutic care with data-informed practice and who are passionate about improving outcomes for children through whole-family mental health care.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide evidence-based virtual therapy to children, adolescents, and families using a whole-family approach.
  • Conduct comprehensive assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and deliver high-quality clinical care.
  • Utilize measurement-based care and standardized assessments to guide treatment planning and monitor progress.
  • Partner with caregivers to build skills, support treatment goals, and improve outcomes.
  • Collaborate with an interdisciplinary care team to deliver coordinated, patient-centered care.
  • Assess and respond to safety concerns in accordance with clinical best practices and organizational protocols.
  • Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation and comply with applicable licensing, ethical, and regulatory standards.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Passion for practicing within a structured, outcomes-focused, measurement-based care model centered on children and families.
  • Master’s-level therapist independently licensed in California (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, or equivalent)
  • Clinical experience providing psychotherapy to children and families
  • Demonstrated experience treating common pediatric mental health conditions using evidence-based approaches
  • Strong diagnostic and assessment skills
  • Comfortable delivering care virtually and using technology in clinical practice
  • Interest in or experience with measurement-informed care and outcomes tracking

If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every qualification, we encourage you to still apply!

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
