Description
Pelago is the leading specialty substance use care provider, built on the belief that effective treatment means matching care intensity to what each member actually needs rather than defaulting to the most expensive intervention. Our programs guide members through every stage of the substance use spectrum, from unhealthy habits to active use disorders, delivering personalized treatment for tobacco, alcohol, opioid, cannabis, and stimulant use based on individual health, habits, genetics, and goals.
With Sona, our voice-first AI Mental Health Specialist, Pelago now applies that same clinically-driven model to mental health, pairing deep clinical expertise with technology to expand access without compromising care quality. We believe technology should make clinical care more precise and more human, not replace the judgment behind it.
Pelago has scaled to helping hundreds of employers and health plans and has already helped more than 750,000 members better manage their substance use. If you're passionate about AI and making an impact on the health of others, join us and make it happen!
About Pelago
Pelago is a nationwide specialty substance use care provider delivering proven, validated clinical and financial outcomes across the full spectrum of substance use — from risky use through crisis-level addiction. We're building the behavioral health system that works for everyone, powered by an exceptional care team and AI-native infrastructure.
About the Role
We're hiring Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) to join Pelago's Behavioral Addictions program. You'll provide CBT-based telehealth treatment to members with behavioral health conditions, as part of a structured, evidence-based care model.
You'll carry a caseload of members, conduct clinical assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and deliver evidence-based care. You'll be part of a collaborative, mission-driven clinical team.
What You'll Do
- Conduct structured clinical intakes and assessments
- Develop individualized treatment plans grounded in evidence-based frameworks
- Deliver CBT and Motivational Interviewing within a structured treatment model
- Monitor member outcomes using validated clinical measures
- Maintain clinical documentation in accordance with Pelago standards
- Screen for co-occurring conditions and coordinate care transitions when indicated
- Participate in clinical supervision and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement
- Contribute to program development as the Behavioral Addictions program grows
What We're Looking For
- Active LPC or LCSW license in good standing
- Licensure in multiple states strongly preferred; LPC compact licensure is a significant advantage
- Clinical experience with behavioral health conditions, including eating disorders, impulse control disorders, or substance use — or strong interest in specializing in behavioral addictions
- Competency in CBT; experience with Motivational Interviewing preferred
- Comfortable with structured assessment tools and outcome monitoring
- Strong written communication for documentation and treatment planning
- Ability to manage a telehealth caseload independently while collaborating with a distributed clinical team
Bonus Points
- Active LPC compact licensure
- Licensure in Illinois
- Clinical experience with behavioral addictions or impulse control disorders
- Familiarity with validated behavioral health outcome measures
- Background in telehealth or digital health platforms
Why Pelago
- Evidence-based, structured clinical model with real outcome measurement
- Mission-driven work: serving members who have rarely had access to quality care for these conditions
- Remote-first, flexible schedule
- Competitive compensation and benefits
- Supervision and ongoing professional development
The provided range reflects our US target salary range for this full-time position, which is part of our broader total compensation package, including incentive bonus program, stock options, comprehensive benefits, and incentive pay applicable to eligible roles. Individual pay within the range will vary based on a variety of factors like role-related experience and education, internal pay equity, and other relevant business factors. At Pelago, we are committed to an equitable and fair pay philosophy and review total compensation for our employees at least twice a year.
