IL Licensed Child/Adolescent Therapist (Remote)

There’s a national crisis in pediatric mental health. 1-in-5 children experience mental health concerns and yet families struggle to find timely, insurance-covered care. Waitlists can be months long and for children aged 4-24, delayed care can be detrimental to their development. Secondly, 75% of children diagnosed with a mental health condition are diagnosed by their primary care provider, yet most pediatricians lack reliable referral partners for specialized care.
