About the role
Why This Role
The pediatric mental health crisis is real, and the families we will serve in New York are counting on us to get this right. This role puts you at the center of that work. You’ll deliver evidence-based therapy to kids and teens across some of the most complex and meaningful clinical presentations in the field, within a practice that is driven by data, accountability, and genuine care for outcomes. Brightline’s results speak to that commitment: the majority of kids and teens in our care show measurable improvement in anxiety, depression, overall functioning, and parents report significant reductions in caregiver strain.
What makes Brightline different is how we work: our clinicians practice within a multidisciplinary team alongside psychiatrists, psychologists, and care coordinators, and benefit from the peer consultation, supervision infrastructure, and professional development that isolated private practice rarely offers. Care is kept under one roof, with internal referrals meaning families don’t fall through the cracks between providers. And our approach is genuinely inclusive: clinicians are trained to provide LGBTQ+ and BIPOC families the identity-centered care they need and deserve.
