Transform Mental Health for Youth and Adults with Daybreak Health - Riverside Clinicians Welcome

Make a Real Difference — On Your Schedule

At Daybreak Health, we're on a mission to make quality mental healthcare accessible to every person who needs it, from teens to adults. Through our partnerships with 60+ school districts and Kaiser Permanente — reaching over a million students nationwide — we're expanding access even further, now offering therapy to adults through our Kaiser program too.

We're growing our California clinician network and would love to welcome you! Join a team that gives you a steady stream of referrals, a caseload that's already close to full (our clinicians currently average a 96% caseload fill rate), and the freedom to build your practice fully remotely, on your own terms.

Who We're Looking For

Compassionate, fully licensed clinicians (LCSW, LPCC, LMFT, or LP) ready to provide teletherapy across California to clients ages 11–60. Every caseload includes some youth clients (ages 11–24), and you're welcome to round it out with adults, more youth, or a mix — whatever fits your clinical strengths.

Associate and provisionally licensed clinicians aren't eligible for this role.

Compensation & Benefits

$75–$95 per session, plus guaranteed pay for no-shows and late cancellations

Onboarding stipend to help you hit the ground running

Paid clinical consultation, malpractice insurance provided, and free CE credits year-round

1099 independent contractor flexibility — no commute, no minimum office hours, just a caseload and schedule built around your life

Flexibility That Actually Works

Fully remote — work from anywhere in the U.S.

Set your own hours, Monday–Sunday, 8am–8pm PT (weekends optional)

Just 5 sessions/week minimum, no cap — we do the heavy lifting on filling your caseload, matching and booking your initial sessions directly into your availability, so you can spend less time chasing referrals and more time in the room with clients. You own your recurring session calendar from there.

We also handle billing and credentialing, so you can stay focused on care, not paperwork

What You'll Do

Build strong, trusting therapeutic relationships with clients across age groups

Provide evidence-based individual teletherapy to clients ages 11–24 or 18-60 with mild-to-moderate mental health needs

Offer psychoeducation to parents/caregivers when working with younger clients

What You Bring

Active LCSW, LPCC, LMFT, or LP license in the State of California

A passion for mental health care, with a commitment to culturally responsive, equitable practice

Experience providing individual therapy to youth and/or adults

Comfort and prior experience with telehealth service delivery
