About SideBy Care

SideBy Care is the first AI-powered virtual care service specifically designed for the 100M+ people living with Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI), such as IBS. We bridge the gap between digestive health and mental wellness by providing insurance-covered, evidence-based therapy that helps 90% of our clients see symptom improvement within 6 weeks.

We are seeking a Part-Time Licensed Clinician in Illinois to join our multidisciplinary team as a Gut-Brain Therapist. You will provide specialized virtual care for adults, utilizing GI-specific protocols to break the cycle of stress and digestive symptoms.

  • Integrated Treatment: Collaborate with a clinical team of GI-focused dietitians and medical providers to provide whole-person care
  • Advocacy & Education: Help clients adjust beliefs and behaviors to manage DGBI symptoms and develop long-term coping strategies
  • Program Innovation: Contribute to the refinement of SideBy Care’s clinical protocols and client education materials

Requirements (Qualifications)

  • Licensure: Active, unrestricted mental health license in Illinois (LCPC or equivalent) is required
  • Credentials: Must have an active NPI (CAQH login preferred)
  • Experience: 3+ years of experience delivering evidence-based therapies (CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing)
  • Technical Savvy: Proficient with EMR systems, Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom
  • Communication: Ability to clearly explain the gut-brain connection to clients with empathy and clinical precision

Preferred Skills

  • 1+ years of experience with somatic or gut-brain specific therapies
  • Experience working alongside medical professionals in a multidisciplinary setting

Why Join Us?

  • High Impact: Be at the forefront of a specialized, rapidly growing field of healthcare
  • Flexibility: 100% remote work with a schedule designed to support your work-life balance
  • Professional Growth: Specialized training in GI-CBT and DGBI treatment modalities
  • Supportive Culture: Join a clinician-led team that values empathy, integrity, and innovation
