What You’ll Get at Mentella

You don’t have to choose between freedom and security as a therapist. You’ll have the independence of a contractor role, with the peace of mind that comes from being a W-2 employee.

You set your hours. You choose your caseload. You shape your path — we make sure it’s sustainable. Behind you is a team that handles billing, admin, caseload build, and insurance headaches while you focus on what you do best: helping people heal.

• Make your own schedule — no quotas, no required nights or weekends
• 100% remote care with local community roots
• PTO + sick leave you actually use
• Unlimited unpaid time off

Financial & Professional Security

• Transition stipend to support income stability while transferring your existing caseload
• Quarterly + long-term retention bonuses
• Ramp-up support advance — optional interest-free cash-flow during transition
• Student loan repayment assistance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Health, dental, vision, life, malpractice from day one
• Short-term disability + family planning support
• In-house financial guidance for debt, retirement, and long-term wealth
• Internal promotion priority as we scale nationwide

Growth & Belonging

• 100% reimbursed specialty training (e.g., EMDR, Gottman, IFS)
• Annual CEU & conference stipend
• Weekly supervision (free for pre-licensed)
• Growth Tracks: Outreach & Referral, Media & Content, Speakership
• Opportunities to specialize, supervise, or lead within ~2 years
• Monthly team consults that feel like community, not obligation

The Therapist Vitality Model

At Mentella, we’re building the one thing every therapist knows matters most but almost no practice truly protects: your vitality.

Not productivity.

Not volume.

Not burnout disguised as “flexibility.”

Vitality.

We believe therapist vitality is the most underestimated driver of clinical outcomes, client retention, and long-term career satisfaction — and it’s the core of our entire model.

Where most practices optimize for throughput, we optimize for you.

And when you thrive, outcomes follow.
