Illinois Licensed Therapist / Mental Health Counselor

Prosper Health is on a mission to make life happier and healthier for autistic and neurodivergent adults. Despite rapid growth in known autism prevalence (up >5x in the last 25 years), autistic adults have been ignored by traditional services and support, leading to extremely poor outcomes across mental and physical health.

Prosper is addressing this gap by providing specialized, virtual mental health services for autistic adults, covered by insurance. Our innovative autism assessment diagnoses many of our clients for the first time in their lives. We pair that with individualized therapy that is tailored to the needs of autistic adults and community to help our clients find belonging and connection.

In just 18 months since founding, we have grown to double digit millions of run-rate revenue, thousands of active clients, and over 100 clinicians on our team, while raising funding from top investors.

Our ambition is bold: to reach and transform the lives of millions of autistic and neurodivergent adults.

The role:

• Prosper Health is hiring outstanding therapists (must hold LCPC or LCSW in Illinois) for a remote position. We have openings for both full-time and part-time roles.
• In this role, you will provide mental health counseling over Telehealth to autistic 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.
• Experience in outpatient settings with autistic or neurodivergent adults is a plus, but not necessary. Other experiences we look for include: IOP, addiction, OCD, ADHD, trauma, and more.
• We are looking for neurodiversity affirming candidates who care deeply about helping a marginalized community 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.
