About the job
Why Charlie Health?
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.
