Child and Adolescent Psychologist

Child and Adolescent Psychologist

Therapy and therapists deserve more than the gig economy treatment.

At Plutonic, we believe clinicians deserve meaningful collaboration, support, and tools that help them connect with clients. We are building a different kind of therapy company, and we are looking for a child and adolescent psychologist who wants to help shape it.

Job Description

Applicants must currently hold an active, unrestricted Georgia license to practice as a psychologist. This position is not open to applicants seeking supervised experience toward licensure.

About Plutonic

Plutonic provides mental health therapy for children, adolescents, and young adults through our proprietary virtual therapy platform, traditional telehealth, and select in person services.

Our platform combines interactive virtual environments with clinical tools that psychologists can incorporate into their therapeutic approach. We help clinicians connect with young people who may struggle to engage through traditional therapy formats, including clients familiar with gaming and digital environments.

We maintain strong referral relationships and consistent client demand, with administrative support that helps clinicians focus on care.
