Neurodivergent Affirming Clinical Psychologist - Illinois

Prosper Health is on a mission to make life happier and healthier for the 8 million autistic adults in the US. Autism prevalence is up >5x in the last 25 years, but autistic adults have been ignored by the traditional support and service system. This has contributed to alarmingly poor outcomes across mental and physical health, and vocational and social measures for autistic adults. Prosper Health is changing this by building a holistic suite of supports for autistic and neurodivergent adults.

Currently, we deliver best-in-class, specialized mental health services for autistic adults, covered by insurance. The response to our offering has been strong - in 18 months we have reached multiple millions of annualized revenue, >1,000 active clients, and ~100 clinicians.

The role:

• Prosper Health is hiring outstanding psychologists (e.g., PhDs, PsyDs) for a remote, part-time position.
• In this role, you will provide autism assessments via telehealth to adults. As we innovate by making adult autism assessments affordable and accessible, you will have the opportunity to contribute to developing best-practices and new approaches to assessing for autism in adults.
• Prosper Health handles the insurance billing, provides supervision and guidance, and finds clients — all you have to do is focus on supporting your clients.
• We are looking for neurodiversity affirming candidates who care deeply about helping autistic adults and are excited about joining a fast-growing startup that is on a mission to change the way autistic adults can achieve and flourish in our society

Our approach to care: Our care is built on three fundamental pillars:

• Neurodiversity affirming: We celebrate the differences in the way people think, and we take a strength-based approach to help our clients achieve their goals.
• Respecting Autonomy: We support adults and part of that is recognizing our clients as in charge of their own life. We emphasize autonomy and consent in everything we do.
• Personalized: We build our services around our clients as individuals, recognizing that not everyone will want or require the same kind of support. It's our clients’ life - we're here to help with what they think matters.
