Cartwheel·Cambridge, Massachusetts
Provide mental health assessments and teletherapy to Pre K-12 students while collaborating with school staff to build effective support systems. Participate in case discussions and assist with the transition of students to community care providers.
Kids shouldn't just aspire to get out of bed and drag themselves to class. They should be able to experience joy. They deserve to envision and build a life they’re excited to live. If you join Cartwheel, you’ll help make this vision a reality for millions of students across the country.
We’re looking for outcomes-oriented and mission-driven therapists to join our amazing and interdisciplinary care team of psychiatrists, therapists, and school health professionals. As a Mental Health Therapist, you'll work directly with school staff, students, and families in our partner school districts to build stronger systems of mental health support.
The above is a summary of the role, not an exhaustive list. If you think that you have most of the above but not everything, please apply. We'd love to hear from you!
At Cartwheel, you’ll have an unmatched provider experience.
Competitive compensation ($60-$70/hour base hourly rate + up to 5% quarterly Mission Bonus for Master’s-level clinicians, dependent on licensure, experience, language, etc.)
The Mission Bonus of up to 5% is paid quarterly for serving higher-need populations ( based on the % of students you see who have Medicaid, are uninsured, or speak a non-English language)

Administrative support from our experienced, full-time Care Coordinators, and optional access to an AI-enabled medical scribe that saves you hours of documentation time (this is used and loved by the majority of Cartwheel clinicians!)
