Job Overview
Mental Health Specialists LLC is seeking a Licensed Mental Health Therapist to join our hybrid (in-person and telehealth) practice in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, PA, as a W-2 employee. You will begin part-time, with the option to remain PT or transition to FT.
This role is ideal for a licensed therapist who is passionate about specialized care and interested in building a niche clientele. We believe clients deserve access to therapists with unique expertise—whether in trauma, couples, neurodivergence, or other specialty areas.
We aim to build a network and community through our work as therapists where people can become more embodied, present, compassionate, and fully engaged in their lives, regardless of their feelings or circumstances. We see one of the wounds in society that we are trying to address as disembodiment and dissociation—people becoming disconnected from themselves, others, and their communities rather than living from a place of presence and compassion. Our work seeks to support people in becoming more embodied and fully engaged in their lives in ways that alleviate suffering.
Our mission is to create a supportive community where clinicians thrive professionally and clients receive high-quality, specialized mental health care. We value creativity, accountability, collaboration, and the freedom for therapists to bring their own expertise and interests to their work.
We are looking for a mature and accountable clinician who is receptive to constructive feedback, able to communicate openly, and interested in partnering with us to grow this vision together.

Licensed Mental Health Therapist - Hybrid 1099 Contractor Position
Job Overview:
Mental Health Specialists LLC is seeking a Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) to join our practice as a 1099 Contractor in a hybrid (in-person & telehealth) capacity. This is a temporary 6-month contract position starting as soon as possible and ending December 31, 2026. This role is specifically designed to manage the overflow of client referrals from a specific third-party contract while the practice searches for a full-time W-2 therapist. There is also high demand for therapists trained in specialized therapies (e.g. CBT, EMDR, CIR/CISM response, couples therapy, DBT, ACT, etc). Evaluation at the end of the contract’s term will determine if there continues to be a high demand for your services and to continue for a 2nd term or discontinue.
We believe clients deserve access to therapists who bring unique expertise—whether in trauma, couples, neurodivergence, or other specialty areas.
We aim to create a network and community of people through our work as therapists, where individuals are embodied and fully living in the world, able to participate fully in life, regardless of their feelings or circumstances. We see that the wound in society we are trying to heal is that people are disembodied and dissociative, rather than living life from a place of presence and compassion. We want to enable and support people within their communities to be more embodied and fully living in the world in a way that alleviates suffering.
Our mission is to create a supportive community where clinicians thrive professionally while clients receive high-quality, specialized mental health care. We encourage our therapists’ creativity, accountability, and collaboration as we grow together.
We are looking for a therapist who is mature and can have accountability in their work, able to hear constructive feedback while also providing feedback in a way that we can co-create and partner together in this vision. Ideally, this provides you with the freedom to express the creativity within your own expertise and interests.

As a hybrid group psychotherapy practice, our vision is to simplify the process of locating specialized mental health treatment among the sea of therapists and to match trained therapists with the right client. We also aim to enhance accessibility to specialized therapy in regions where access is limited or nonexistent, and by doing so, we hope to empower everyone with skills, knowledge, and resources that support mental health.
Founded in 2024 by Amy Gamble-Moore, LCSW, an experienced clinician and community mental health leader with over 20 years of experience, Mental Health Specialists LLC provides in-person and telehealth therapy in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, with plans to expand regionally.
