Craft a part-time private practice that fits your life—and let Mentalzon help motivated clients find you. We’re a discovery and referral platform for licensed psychologists who want flexibility, clinical autonomy, and a steady stream of client inquiries without giving up control of fees, schedule, or modality. See clients online using your own HIPAA-appropriate telehealth tools (e.g., Google Meet, Zoom), in your own office, or both.

Important: Mentalzon does not host video sessions or store audio/video. You deliver care using your own secure telehealth platform(s) or in person at your office.

Role overview

Provide evidence-based psychotherapy within your competencies to adults, couples, families, or adolescents. Complete thoughtful intakes and ongoing assessments, keep timely documentation in your own EHR/practice system, communicate clearly about your approach, boundaries, fees, and policies, and uphold the highest legal and ethical standards.

Why this is ideal for part-time clinicians

True flexibility: Start with as little as 3–10 hours/week and scale up or down as needed.
You’re in charge: Set your availability, caseload, specialties, and modalities.
Your fees, your clients: Get paid directly by clients—no platform commission on session fees.
Built-in visibility: Mentalzon marketing and search boost help the right clients discover you.
Professional reputation: Collect verified reviews to strengthen your profile.
Tech freedom: Use your preferred telehealth, EHR, and workflows.

Required qualifications

Doctoral degree in psychology (PhD or PsyD) from a regionally accredited program; supervised experience aligned with state requirements.
Current, active, unrestricted license to practice independently as a psychologist in at least one U.S. state or D.C. (e.g., Licensed Psychologist, LP). You are responsible for complying with all state telehealth rules in any state where you provide services.
Demonstrated experience with clinical assessment, diagnosis (as permitted by scope), and psychotherapy for diverse populations.
Proficiency with your own HIPAA-appropriate telehealth tools (e.g., Google Meet, Zoom) and familiarity with EHR/practice-management workflows.
Working knowledge of HIPAA and the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.
Active professional liability (malpractice) insurance.

Nice to have

Depth in CBT, ACT, ERP, EMDR, EFT, DBT-informed work, health psychology/behavioral medicine, trauma, OCD, mood and anxiety disorders, child/adolescent, or couples therapy.
Cultural humility, multilingual ability, and PSYPACT participation or eligibility for multistate telepsychology.

Collaboration terms

Status: Independent Contractor (1099).
Setting: Remote from a secure, professional environment; optional in-person sessions at your office.
Schedule: Part-time by design—set and adjust your weekly hours freely.
Autonomy: You manage your calendar, documentation, policies, and platforms.
Billing: Direct client payments; you control fee schedules and refunds.
Privacy: Maintain PHI in your own compliant systems; Mentalzon is not an EHR and does not host sessions.

How to get started

Create your Mentalzon profile with education, license(s), specialties, and modalities.
Upload licensure and degree documents for verification.
Іet availability, communication preferences, and rates.
Begin receiving inquiries or booking requests and manage care directly—via your telehealth tools or your office.

What are the benefits of a free consultation?

Getting to know the psychologist: You can talk to the psychologist to see if they are a good fit for you in terms of their work style, personality, and specialization.

Defining the problem: You can describe your problem in detail and get qualified advice from the psychologist, which will help you better understand the nature of your problem.

Developing a plan of action: You can get recommendations on how to solve your problem, which methods and approaches may be the most effective.

Feeling supported: You can get emotional support and feel that you are not alone, because the psychologist will listen to you attentively.

Who is a free consultation suitable for?

Those looking for a psychologist: A free consultation can help you make the right choice, as you can talk to several psychologists before making a final decision.

Those who are unsure whether they need psychotherapy: A free consultation can help you understand whether psychotherapy can help you solve your problem and whether it is right for you.

Those who have a limited budget: A free consultation is an opportunity to get qualified help from a psychologist for free, to see if you need further psychotherapy.

Those who may be nervous or hesitant to start psychotherapy: A free consultation gives you the opportunity to overcome your fear of the first meeting with a psychologist, get answers to your questions, and feel more confident.

Important:

A free consultation is not a substitute for psychotherapy.

In a free consultation, the psychologist cannot give you a final diagnosis or prescribe treatment.

The purpose of a free consultation is to help you determine if a psychologist and psychotherapy are right for you, and to give you the first steps to solving your problem.

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.

It's important to note that the initial consultation differs from a typical therapy session:

It can last from 15 to 30 minutes, with the specialist determining the appropriate length for this introductory meeting.

The free initial consultation is not intended to be a full therapy session. It is an opportunity for the client to learn more about the specialist and their approach to therapy, and to decide whether they want to work together.

The specialist should set clear boundaries for the free initial consultation, including the length of the session and the topics that can be discussed.

The specialist should be prepared to answer questions from the client about their experience, training, and qualifications.

The specialist should not give specific advice or recommendations during the free initial consultation. This should be done during a paid session.
