<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Overview</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Join our mission to make quality mental healthcare accessible to every student who needs it. At Daybreak Health, you'll be part of a movement dedicated to removing barriers to care and empowering young people to thrive emotionally and mentally.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We partner with over 60 school districts—including Kaiser Permanente—reaching more than one million students nationwide. Our clinicians enjoy the stability of consistent referrals and a meaningful caseload, allowing you to focus on what matters most: making a real difference in students' lives.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We're seeking compassionate, licensed mental health clinicians to provide teletherapy to students ages 11-24 throughout California. In this role, you'll deliver high-quality, evidence-based care while working alongside schools, families, and community partners to help students thrive. Every session you lead has the power to change a young person's trajectory—and that's just the beginning of the impact you'll make.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong><em>Please note: This role is open to therapists who are fully licensed in California only; associate and provisionally licensed therapists are not eligible.</em></strong></p>
