Eating Disorder Therapist (Founding Clinical Team)
Job Description
ABOUT NABI At Nabi Health, we provide weight-inclusive, trauma-informed care for people navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, and body distress. Our model blends human-first relationships with tech-enabled access and support, helping patients experience care that is relational, collaborative, and never shame-based. We center autonomy, equity, and trust in every interaction. Our app, Callie, extends that experience between sessions. The days between visits are where recovery actually happens, and Callie helps patients stay connected, informed, and empowered in their care. Every feature reflects our belief that technology should serve agency, not override it. We're building the outpatient clinical home for the long arc of recovery: a coordinated team of dietitians, therapists, and medical providers who stay with patients over the whole journey, not a program you graduate from in eight weeks. We're expanding that model to include behavioral health, and this is a ground-floor opportunity to be the therapist/psychologist that will help build it. ABOUT THE ROLE This role is about building the foundation of behavioral health at Nabi. You'll support patient care while helping build and lead our initial therapy and behavioral health team. Early on, your work is mostly clinical: carrying a caseload, modeling the standard of care, and getting deep into how Nabi delivers coordinated, multidisciplinary outpatient eating disorder care alongside our team of registered dietitians and medical providers. As the service line grows, your leadership scope grows with it: onboarding and mentoring the providers who come after you, shaping our clinical training and protocols, and owning clinical quality. Throughout, you'll keep a caseload and stay close to patient care even as your leadership responsibilities grow. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape our behavioral health program, not just fill a caseload. If you've ever wanted to build a clinical program the way you'd actually design it, instead of inheriting someone else's, this is that seat. WHAT YOU'LL DO Patient Care - Provide individual telehealth care to patients with eating disorders and co-occurring conditions across the spectrum (AN, BN, BED, ARFID, OSFED, disordered eating, and body image concerns).
- Collaborate directly with Registered Dietitians and medical providers on shared patients with coordinated treatment planning, warm handoffs, and biweekly case review.
- Conduct first-session risk assessments and administer validated outcome measures (EDE-QS, PHQ-9, GAD-7, C-SSRS) to assess risk and track progress.
- Work with pediatric and adult patients and their families, flexing your approach to each patient's phase of care (Stabilization, Skill Building, Maintenance).
- Address co-occurring conditions including anxiety, depression, trauma, and body image disturbance.
- Complete clinical documentation in our EMR within 48 hours of each session, and navigate mature minor consent for adolescent patients as applicable under Washington State law.
- Escalate clinical-safety, medical-instability, and scope concerns immediately per Nabi's clinical policies.
- Help design our therapy and behavioral health service line as it scales: care pathways, treatment protocols, and group programming.
- Onboard, train, and mentor therapists as the team grows, building our therapy onboarding, modality training, and case-based learning.
- Own clinical quality for behavioral health: chart review, co-sign workflows for new hires, and ongoing case consultation.
- Serve as the care-centered voice in cross-functional work, informing the tools, workflows, and products we build to deliver care.
- Partner with the Chief Clinical Officer on expanding care, growing your team, and other priorities as they emerge.
- Minimum 3 years of post-licensure clinical experience working directly with eating disorder populations.
- Leadership instincts: you coach with candor and warmth, and you want to build something, not just maintain it.
- Experience administering and interpreting validated outcome measures.
- Comfortable providing therapy via telehealth and completing documentation in cloud-based EMR systems.
- Reliable internet connection and a private, HIPAA-compliant workspace for telehealth sessions.
- Additional training in CBT, DBT, FBT, ACT, IFS, or Motivational Interviewing.
- Additional state licenses beyond Washington.
How to Stand Out
- Highlight your clinical expertise in eating disorder treatment alongside measurable outcomes (e.g., % of patients achieving weight restoration or reduced binge episodes) and pair each outcome with an Excel dashboard you built to track progress—include a screenshot or a brief video link in your application to demonstrate data‑driven care.
- Show familiarity with telehealth platforms and digital therapeutics by citing specific tools you’ve used (e.g., Zoom for Healthcare, TheraNest, or custom patient apps). In your cover letter, describe a concrete case where you integrated an app’s messaging or homework feature into therapy and tracked engagement metrics in Excel.
- Prepare a one‑page “Clinical Impact Sheet” for the interview: list your most relevant certifications, years of experience with trauma‑informed care, and a mini‑case study (problem, intervention, outcome, Excel‑based results). Bring this printed and share the digital file; interviewers will use it to assess both clinical fit and your ability to present data clearly.
- Emphasize remote‑work competencies: detail your home office setup (HIPAA‑compliant video, secure internet, dual monitors for charting and Excel) and give an example of how you maintained therapeutic alliance and team communication across time zones, referencing any Slack, Asana, or project‑tracking sheets you authored.
- Research Nabi’s mission language (“weight‑inclusive, trauma‑informed, agency‑first”) and weave those exact phrases into your interview answers. When asked about fit, cite a personal or professional experience where you championed autonomy and equity, and quantify the impact (e.g., patient satisfaction score ↑ 15% after implementing a choice‑based meal planning module tracked in Excel).
- For salary negotiation, gather regional remote therapist benchmarks (e.g., from Telehealth Salary Survey 2024) and combine them with your Excel‑calculated ROI: total billable hours, average patient‑per‑month revenue, and cost‑savings from reduced no‑shows via tech reminders. Present this concise spreadsheet during the offer discussion to justify a compensation package aligned with your data‑driven value.
