Virtual Licensed Therapist – Foster-Impacted Youth and Families (Medicaid- Missouri)

Reports To : Clinical Supervisor, Here Now Health

Employment Type : Part-Time (Minimum 15 hours per week; potential to expand to full-time)

About Here Now Health

Here Now Health is the first virtual behavioral health company built exclusively for children and families impacted by the child welfare system. We serve Medicaid members eligible due to their foster status, often including children in foster care, adopted youth, young adults aging out, and those in family preservation or juvenile justice.

Our care model delivers trauma-informed, high-touch mental health services that prioritize consistency, trust, and accessibility in systems where those qualities are too often missing.

Our mission is to make consistent, early, and preventative care the standard for youth and young adults currently or formerly involved in child welfare—reducing crisis escalations, improving family stability, and creating measurable value for states and Medicaid partners. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a passionate team founded on both lived and professional expertise.

Role Summary

As a Virtual Licensed Therapist with Here Now Health, you will provide compassionate, trauma-informed mental health care to Medicaid-covered youth and families impacted by foster care and related systems. You will support clients navigating instability, system involvement, and complex trauma, often across multiple placements.

Our care model centers relational continuity, caregiver support, and evidence-informed clinical practice. You will join a collaborative, mission-driven team focused on transforming how care is delivered to system-impacted youth.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide virtual one-on-one therapy to youth and caregivers using evidence-informed, trauma-focused modalities
• Conduct clinical assessments and create collaborative, measurement-based care plans
• Build relational continuity across transitions, serving clients through placement or life changes
• Collaborate with non-clinical care advocates to ensure clients can access needed services
• Offer caregiver support sessions to improve family stability and outcomes
• Maintain thorough and timely clinical documentation aligned with Medicaid and telehealth standards
• Attend weekly supervision, team meetings, and ongoing training sessions
• Provide support during moments of escalation or crisis in alignment with trauma-informed care practices
• Engage in peer consultation and cross-functional collaboration with other clinicians and care team members
