Are you a licensed Psychologist in Boston seeking to elevate your practice with greater autonomy and flexibility? Mentalzon is a dynamic platform connecting independent mental health professionals with clients in the heart of Massachusetts and across the nation. We invite you to leverage your expertise within Boston's vibrant community, blending the stability of your local practice with the expansive reach of telehealth. Join our network to define your own terms, grow your client base, and focus purely on clinical excellence, whether you offer in-person, remote, or hybrid services.

Mentalzon is designed to support your independent practice, not manage it. We provide the visibility and technology to connect you with clients, empowering you to dedicate your time and energy to what matters most: providing exceptional psychological care.

Core Professional Responsibilities:

• Evidence-Based Psychotherapy: Deliver expert psychological services to individuals, couples, or families. Utilize your clinical judgment to provide care in the format that best suits your practice, including in-person sessions for local Boston clients and/or secure telehealth sessions.
• Diagnostic Evaluation & Personalized Treatment Strategy: Conduct comprehensive psychological assessments, formulate accurate diagnoses in line with your doctoral-level training, and design collaborative, goal-oriented treatment plans that reflect each client's unique needs.
• Professional Record-Keeping: Maintain meticulous, confidential client records in full compliance with HIPAA, the ethical guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA), and the specific regulations of the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Psychologists.
• Ethical & Regulatory Adherence: Uphold the highest standards of professional conduct, strictly adhering to the APA Code of Ethics, Massachusetts state laws governing the practice of psychology and telehealth, and all relevant federal regulations.
• Practice Management & Client Relations: Independently manage all aspects of your client interactions. This includes scheduling, transparently communicating your practice policies and fees, and fostering a professional and therapeutic rapport.

Essential Requirements:

• Education: A doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in Psychology from an APA-accredited program or an equivalent institution that meets the requirements for licensure in Massachusetts.
• Licensure: Crucially, you must hold a current, active, and unrestricted license as a Psychologist issued by the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Psychologists. Your license must permit independent practice without the need for supervision.
• Experience: Proven post-licensure experience providing psychological assessment and psychotherapy services.
• Telehealth Proficiency: Competence in using HIPAA-compliant telehealth technologies and a clear understanding of the legal and ethical best practices for providing remote services, both within Massachusetts and to clients in other states (as permitted by law).
• Professional Liability Insurance: Must maintain an active professional liability (malpractice) insurance policy that covers your full scope of practice, including telehealth.

Key Professional Skills:

• Superior clinical assessment, diagnostic, and psychotherapeutic intervention skills.
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication abilities.
• A strong commitment to cultural humility and providing inclusive care to a diverse population.
