A Better Way to Practice
ListenWell Behavioral Health is seeking independently licensed Tennessee clinicians who want to provide meaningful psychotherapy to older adults without carrying the full administrative and business burden of private practice.
You provide the care. We support the business around it.
ListenWell develops referral relationships and provides the operational support surrounding your caseload, including intake, benefit verification, scheduling, payer credentialing, billing, collections, and denial follow-up.
Clinicians retain independent clinical judgment, determine their availability, and accept referrals consistent with their capacity and expertise.
Why Partner with ListenWell?

- No company on-call or overnight rotation
- Choose telehealth, in-person assignments, or a combination of both
- Accept referrals based on your availability and clinical capacity
- Referral development and community relationships handled for you
- Intake, scheduling, credentialing, billing, and collections support
- Modern behavioral health EHR with secure telehealth
- Clinician-reviewed, AI-assisted documentation designed to reduce charting time, support timely completion, and strengthen documentation consistency

The Clinical Work
ListenWell provides relationship-centered outpatient psychotherapy to older adults in senior living communities across Tennessee.

Responsibilities include:
- Conducting diagnostic assessments

- Providing medically necessary, evidence-informed psychotherapy
- Monitoring progress and adjusting treatment as clinically appropriate
- Coordinating care when authorized and clinically indicated
- Completing timely, accurate, payer-aligned documentation

We are prioritizing clinicians who can generally offer at least 10 patient-appointment hours per week while actively accepting referrals. You determine the days and times those hours are available.
Referral volume, patient volume, and compensation are not guaranteed.
This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity and does not include employee benefits, paid time off, or a standing on-call requirement.
