Description
Swell Health -Title: Director, Clinical Therapy
Reports to: Cofounder/CEO of Swell

About Swell:
Swell is on a mission to improve our community's mental health through self-guided preventative programs and accessible therapy. We envision a world of happier, kinder, and more mentally resilient people - and we're making it possible through an evidence-based mental health platform.
Launching in October of this year, our flagship product, Therapy+ is a mobile-based telehealth therapy application, intended to help military members and their families access evidence-based mental health therapy when they need it, without paying out of pocket. Our product will combine traditional 1:1 video therapy sessions with a mobile application designed to enhance skill adoption outside of the session, and reduce the overall time-to-benefit in therapy.
We're a small startup with founders from the health-tech space, and are looking for a thought leader with experience in the clinical therapy setting. If you're excited about our mission and believe that together we can leverage technology to improve mental health care, then we want to talk to you
We're building a distributed team located across several states and leveraging tools and skills to make working remotely work for us. This role will be remote with options for in-person coworking and team building that will grow as we do. We're looking for someone who can embrace the work-from-anywhere lifestyle while helping ensure we're building a culture of collaboration and inclusivity across our team.
What you'll do here:
This role is designed to be 60% client facing, 40% administrative at first, with the split being more administrative by the end of next year.
What the next year will look like:
We plan to start providing video care with our therapists through our app and begin our private-beta with a small group of military families in Fort Campbell in October of this year. We'll spend the winter getting into a good working rhythm & improving our app and therapy experience for both therapists and our clients. This looks like working through bugs (both technical and operational) and implementing processes that will help us scale the things we're doing. We expect this time period to be exciting and full of growth for the team as we learn each other and establish our company, but also anticipate healthy friction and a touch of turbulence as we encounter things we didn't expect and learn from the mistakes we probably don't know we're making now.
In the first half of next year, we plan to start scaling video therapy to more people. This means hiring more therapists & supervisors and growing our community presence in and around Fort Campbell. We'll also start ramping up work on our self-guided care modules and testing them in the market. As our hiring efforts grow, we expect the person in this role to reduce caseload and focus on leadership and program improvement.
About you:
Minimum Requirements
We don't require you to have held a director title or have a specific number of years of experience. We want you to apply if you meet the 3 minimum requirements above, you're a good therapist & supervisor, and if you believe you can do this job well.
Benefits
We're looking for several therapists and one supervisor to join our team and are open to folks who are fully licensed with the state of Tennessee and/or Kentucky.
We prefer our therapists to have foundational training in at least one evidence-based therapy modality and trauma-informed care knowledge prior to starting at Swell. We're happy to support you in further developing these skills through ongoing training, supervision, and consultation.
Individuals of all colors, backgrounds, religions (or lack thereof), sexual orientations, and gender identities who are passionate about helping clients bring about meaningful, measurable change in their lives are encouraged to apply.
