Careers/Internships
Career/Internship contact form below.
The services that CAASS provides are in demand. CAASS is always willing to consider independently licensed mental health providers and psychiatric prescribers working with and under the CAASS name. However, CAASS values quality over quantity so does not currently advertise for clinical partners, because at CAASS we only want people with the motivation to find career opportunities on their own.

Personal & Professional Attributes That CAASS Looks For
CAASS is not a practice for everyone. We pride ourselves on taking appropriate healthy clinical risks with clients, innovation to mental health practice even when controversial, engaging in mental health treatment outside of the office and helping clients other mental health providers don’t want. Additionally, CAASS is very lean on administration and focused on automation of most administrative functions. This is why CAASS can offer such high reimbursement rates (to our knowledge the best around) to our partners. Attributes that CAASS look for in partners include:
- Providers who want to work independently but want to have contact and consultation with other providers
- Providers with great intelligence and/or have the skills to work with people of great intelligence
- Providers who can be very directive and assertive when needed (pure Rogerian/talk therapy providers are not a good fit for CAASS)
- Providers who are excited to learn, invent and try new therapies/interventions
- Providers who are not afraid to be controversial
- Providers who take risks (within ethical bounda
ries) - Providers who are interested in the philosophical and dialectical nature of psychotherapy
- Providers who can do their own billing and intake work with automated and technologically advanced systems
- Providers who are flexible with the means of communication outside of the therapy office
Mention the word batbert in the magic work of the job contact form. This lets us know you actually read this stuff and have the perception & thoroughness to advance with CAASS as a partner. Failure to mention Batbert probably does not inspire confidence in the founder that you could grow at CAASS. Batbart does not mean anything, by the way. Just a fun word to say.
If you have read all the above and are still interested in being a clinical partner with CAASS, fill out the form above so you can chat with our founder to see how CAASS can help you advance. Don’t send resumes or anything like that until asked, we want a social business chat first.
