Licensed Telehealth Therapist / Mental Health Counselor (Illinois)

Job Description

Job Description

Prosper Health is on a mission to make life happier and healthier for autistic and neurodivergent adults.

Despite autism diagnoses increasing more than 5x in the past 25 years, autistic adults have been systematically overlooked. This has led to extremely poor outcomes, including high rates of co-occurring mental health conditions and a lower life expectancy. Prosper is here to change that.

We deliver specialized mental health services for autistic adults, covered by insurance. We've helped tens of thousands of people receive an autism diagnosis for the first time, work with neurodivergent-affirming therapists, and find belonging through community. Our outcomes meaningfully outperform traditional care for autistic adults, with substantially greater improvements in mood, anxiety, and quality of life.

Prosper is growing 3x year over year and are at mid-double-digit millions in run-rate revenue, with thousands of active clients and 400+ clinicians. We're a high-ownership, mission-driven team, building something that has never existed for autistic and neurodivergent adults.

We're hiring Licensed Mental Health Therapists (LCSW, LPC, LMHC) to provide therapy for autistic and neurodivergent adults via telehealth. You'll join a team dedicated to creating affirming, accessible mental health services for the neurodivergent community.

Our clinicians come from diverse backgrounds and career stages - whether you're passionate about neurodiversity advocacy, seeking flexibility and better work-life balance, or looking to add specialized experience to your existing practice, we offer roles to match your professional goals.

• Neurodiversity-affirming environment : Work alongside clinicians who share your commitment to neurodiversity-affirming approaches
• Connect with a supportive clinical community : Join weekly drop-ins and engage in a tight-knit clinical community that prevent isolation

• Set your own schedule, 7 days a week, between 7am and 10pm
• No required evening, weekend or on-call hours
• Build your schedule around your life, not the other way around

• Hours: Provide 25+ hours of weekly availability to build a caseload of 25+ clients
• Ideal for: Those who seek steady, predictable income that grows with your client base

• Compensation: Competitive hourly rate paid per session

• Licensed independent mental health professional (LCSW, LPC, LMHC)
• Strong clinical skills in evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT or ACT
• Interest in working with autistic or neurodivergent adults
• Comfort with technology and virtual care platforms (Zoom, EHR, Slack)
• Excellent communication skills and commitment to client-centered care
• Telehealth experience preferred but not required

• You identify with our mission to support the neurodivergent community
• You're seeking better work-life balance without sacrificing meaningful clinical work
• You're transitioning from a demanding in-person setting and want more flexibility
• You want to maintain multiple practice settings and add specialized experience
• You're passionate about providing affirming care to traditionally underserved populations

Our transparent model means your income grows with your client relationships. Unlike traditional salary models, our fee-for-service approach rewards you directly for the sessions you provide. The more sessions you complete, the more your practice thrives – with the security of guaranteed income during no-shows and cancellations. We pay between $X - $X per session.
