Senior Director, Clinical Content

We are currently facing a nationwide mental health epidemic marked by rising rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders, and suicide. At the same time, those seeking help often encounter barriers—whether geographic, financial, or systemic—that prevent them from receiving timely and effective care. This urgent need calls for a reimagined approach to behavioral health treatment.

At Charlie Health, our mission is to connect the world to life-saving mental health treatment. Our innovative virtual programs combine curated group sessions, individual therapy, and family therapy, delivered through personalized, evidence-based treatment plans designed for sustainable healing from the comfort of home. By connecting individuals with shared experiences and fostering supportive communities, Charlie Health provides a pathway to long-term recovery, with over 90% of our clients seeing improvement in their most challenging mental health symptoms.

Every member of our team shares a deep commitment to this mission. If you’re driven to make a meaningful impact, we invite you to join us in reshaping the future of mental healthcare.

About the Role

Clients at Charlie Health spend 90% of their treatment experience in our psycho-educational groups. These groups are facilitated by talented, dynamic group facilitators with various backgrounds and experiences. Each group uses a specialized Charlie Health curriculum depending on which of our 30+ clinical cohorts the group is in. Outstanding curriculum enables our groups to be engaging, high-quality, and effective.
