Clinical Practicum Intern (Master's Level)

Why Charlie Health? Millions of people across the country are navigating mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, but too often, they’re met with barriers to care. From limited local options and long wait times to treatment that lacks personalization, behavioral healthcare can leave people feeling unseen and unsupported. Charlie Health exists to change that. Our mission is to connect the world to life-saving behavioral health treatment.

By focusing on people with complex needs, we’re expanding access to meaningful care and driving better outcomes from the comfort of home.
