North Carolina-Licensed Child & Adolescent Therapist (Virtual, School-Based, Part-Time)

Help students get the mental health care they deserve.

At Hazel Health, we're transforming access to pediatric mental health care by partnering with schools to bring high-quality virtual therapy directly to students.

We've also entered an exciting new chapter. Hazel Health recently joined forces with Little Otter, a leading provider of whole-family pediatric mental health care. Together, we're expanding access to evidence-based behavioral health services and creating new opportunities to support children and families with innovative, high-quality care.

As a Hazel therapist, you'll have the flexibility of a part-time virtual role with the support of a collaborative clinical team, a steady stream of referrals, and the stability of W-2 employment. We handle the administrative work so you can focus on delivering meaningful care that changes lives.

Why Clinicians Choose Hazel

• Focus on clinical care. We handle referrals, billing, credentialing, and administrative support so you can spend more time with students.
• Compensation that reflects your work. You're paid for more than completed sessions, including paid administrative time and eligible client no-shows.
• Flexible scheduling. Build a part-time schedule that fits alongside your existing role.
• Steady referrals. No marketing, networking, or building a private practice.
• Mission-driven impact. Help students access mental health care they might not otherwise receive.
• Collaborative culture. Join an experienced team committed to clinical excellence and improving outcomes for children.

What You'll Do

• Provide evidence-based virtual therapy to K–12 students.
• Complete comprehensive assessments, establish diagnoses, and develop individualized treatment plans.
• Partner with families, school staff, and care teams to support student success.
• Maintain timely clinical documentation and deliver care aligned with evidence-based best practices.
• Assess and respond to clinical risk while following organizational safety protocols.

What You'll Bring

• Active, unrestricted North Carolina license (LCSW, LMFT, LPCC).
• Experience providing therapy to children and adolescents.
• Comfortable delivering care via telehealth.
• Strong clinical judgment, communication, and documentation skills.
• Passion for expanding access to high-quality pediatric mental health care.

Schedule

This is a flexible, part-time virtual role designed to fit alongside your existing clinical work.

Compensation

We believe clinicians should be compensated for the full value of their work—not just time spent in session.
