About Mentalyc:At Mentalyc, we’re reimagining how therapy is supported. Our mission is to make therapists’ lives easier, reduce burnout, and give them back the time and energy to focus on what matters most—their clients.
We believe therapy should be more effective, measurable, and deeply human. That’s why we combine the best of AI with the wisdom of clinicians, turning session notes and treatment planning into tools that empower therapists rather than overwhelm them.
What drives us is not just technology, but the impact it has on the people who use it: less paperwork, clearer insights, and stronger therapeutic relationships. Every feature we build starts with one question—how can this make a therapist’s work lighter and more meaningful?
We’re building a future where therapists are supported, not burdened, by technology. And we won’t stop until therapy feels more fulfilling—for both clinicians and clients.
What We Offer:- Opportunity to work at the intersection of psychotherapy, AI, and cutting-edge technology.
- Collaborative work environment with a diverse and international team.
- A remote-first, flexible environment where outcomes matter more than hours.
- Competitive pay based on experience and qualifications.
Role Overview (Junior Cohort)This paid, cohort-based program is designed for early-career therapists, grad students, and pre-licensed associates who want hands-on experience shaping AI that supports clinicians. You’ll learn to test and refine prompt templates that generate therapy documentation and clinician-facing insights—using checklists, templates, and mentorship from senior clinicians and product teammates.
No coding, no client care, no diagnosis.
Responsibilities- Complete a paid micro-training (2–3 hrs) and use provided checklists to evaluate AI-generated note and treatment-plan drafts for clarity, tone, and clinical relevance.
- Propose simple prompt and phrasing tweaks; document before/after examples with brief rationales.
- Help maintain a prompt library organized by goals (e.g., SOAP completeness, risk phrasing, alliance cues).
- Flag safety/ethics issues and route edge cases to senior reviewers; follow HIPAA-safe workflows.
- Run lightweight A/B tests using templates; summarize findings in concise bullets for product/ML teams.
- Keep tidy, reproducible documentation (what worked, what failed, recommendations).
Requirements- US-based junior therapist, grad student, or pre-licensed associate (MSW, MFT, LPC, Counseling, PsyD/PhD track).
- Strong clinical writing fundamentals (SOAP/DAP familiarity; clear, non-pathologizing language).
- Detail-oriented, follows rubrics, and meets short weekly deadlines (~5–10 hrs/week).
- No prior AI experience required. Curiosity and willingness to learn are key.
Nice-to-Haves- Practicum/internship documentation experience; exposure to CBT/DBT/MI or brief-therapy notes.
- Experience with QA/peer review, writing centers, tutoring, or EHRs.
- Comfort with basic spreadsheets/checklists and running small experiments.
Work Setup- Type: Independent contractor · Location: United States · Schedule: Flexible, async with occasional check-ins.
- Tools: We provide secure annotation/QC workspace, style guides, and templates.
- Compliance: HIPAA-conscious workflows; non-clinical, non-diagnostic scope.
Compensation & Time- Time commitment: ~5–10 hrs/week.
- Rate: Anticipated contractor range: $18–$40/hour
- Perks: Paid onboarding, mentorship, portfolio credit; letter of recommendation upon successful completion; potential invite to advanced cohorts.
