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.

Clinical Support Structure:

  • Purpose-built technology for effective telehealth assessment and report writing
  • Paid, structured onboarding program - we will set you up for success no matter your level of experience with Autism
  • Inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming community of clinicians that values diverse perspectives and collaborative growth

Professional Development:

  • Regular case consultation groups and monthly case conferences in a Project ECHO format
  • Mentorship opportunities with experienced clinicians while you acclimate to our processes and systems
  • Clear career advancement opportunities with pathways to lead roles and clinical leadership positions

Benefits (Full-time Positions):

  • Comprehensive Medical/Dental/Vision coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • 15 days PTO plus major holidays
What We Look For:

Required Qualifications:

  • Doctoral degree (PhD/PsyD) from an APA-accredited program
  • Current state licensure as a Licensed Psychologist with no disciplinary actions
  • Identity-affirming approach to patient care
  • Strong clinical judgment and clinical interview skills
