About the Role

Charlie Health is a pioneer in its approach to mental health treatment. In addition to providing superior Clinical care from the nation's most talented and passionate clinicians, Charlie Health offers unparallelled and effective holistic treatment via our groundbreaking Integrative care including Contemplative, Creative Arts, and Experiential Programming. We firmly believe that thriving, sustainable health is the result of treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and our vIOP deeply embodies this philosophy. As such, we advocate for and provide inclusive, accessible, diverse, cosmopolitan healing approaches that transcend the conventional Western psychological model. Charlie Health's synergistic Clinical + Integrative treatment model affords cutting edge mental health care that proudly serves our amazing clients.

Charlie Health is excited to expand its Contemplative Programming Department. Aligned with the growing bodies of research that evidence positive psychological transformation as a result of contemplative interventions and practices rooted in wisdom traditions, our Contemplative Practitioners support our clients in developing mindful awareness, cultivating wisdom, discovering purpose, living compassionately, and practicing self-inquiry. Some of our current therapeutic modalities include Yoga Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Mindful Self Compassion, Breathwork, Philosophical Consultation, Transpersonal Psychology, Spiritual Coaching, Meditation, and Chaplaincy. Some of the modalities we are eager to include are Contemplative Psychotherapy, Contemplative Arts, Dreamwork, Depth Psychology and many more.

Charlie Health is hiring a few exceptional Contemplative Practitioners to provide remote, telehealth services to our clients. We're eager to work with forward-thinking mental health and substance use professionals to enhance our programming and provide the best possible care to our clients.

This is a contract / 1099 position that allows you the flexibility to schedule sessions and work wherever you are most comfortable. We request that our facilitators are able to dedicate at minimum 9 permanent group hours per week to facilitate group sessions and build valuable connections with our clients.

While each individual facilitator has their own interests, expertise, and style, we require all team members to be well versed in a variety of therapeutic modalities. Our clients are struggling to cope with underlying mental health issues and benefit from facilitators that are sophisticated and relational.
