Mental Health Therapist

About the Role

The teen mental health crisis demands real solutions for real humans in today’s ever‑shifting landscape. Kin Therapy is building exactly that.

Teens today face unprecedented mental health challenges, yet many existing Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) are outdated, inaccessible, and disconnected from the realities of their lives. Long waitlists, prohibitive costs, and a lack of sleek tech push teens and families away from care just when they need it most.

Kin Therapy is leading the way in IOP development. We’ve created a virtual IOP that integrates live therapy, peer connections, and AI‑enhanced support. Our model fits seamlessly into teens’ schedules, reaches them wherever they are, and utilizes tech to enhance connection instead of replacing it. Most importantly, teens stay engaged because we actually encourage their love of tech (thoughtfully and intentionally, of course).

What You’ll Actually Do

• Develop meaningful connections with one cohort of roughly 8‑10 teens
• Facilitate skills, process, and experiential groups
• Provide individual therapy and family therapy
• Collaborate compassionately with families who need guidance, not judgment.
• Leverage our homegrown suite of IOP‑specific AI tools to handle routine tasks so you can focus entirely on impactful clinical care.
• Design personalized treatment strategies that resonate with teens’ lived experiences, not outdated textbooks.

You’re a Great Fit If

• You hold an active independent clinical license (LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or equivalent) and have at least 2 years of clinical experience with adolescents and families.
• You’ve successfully supported youth and families through crises.
• You’re comfortable running virtual groups with a playfulness that invites engagement.
• You can creatively translate evidence‑based approaches (like CBT, DBT and ACT) into relatable formats.
• You have a deep understanding of culturally‑responsive and trauma‑informed care.
• You consider yourself tech‑savvy and feel at ease when handling tech hiccups during critical moments.
• You’re done with tedious paperwork and excited about technology that simplifies your day.

Bonus Points If

• You’ve run or facilitated IOP/PHP groups and believe deeply in their potential.
• You can provide therapy in Spanish.
• You like to nerd out about outcomes and showing families in‑the‑moment progress.
• You can creatively explain clinical concepts using modern references (e.g., TikTok, D&D, YouTube trends, or memes).
• You have experience in an experiential modality including, but not limited to: art therapy, drama therapy, music therapy, eco therapy, narrative therapy, play therapy, somatic therapy, or other modalities.

Why Therapists Choose Kin

• Receive meaningful clinical consultation focused on deepening your work, not just compliance.
