Remote Clinical Psychologist – Older Adults (PhD, PsyD)

Do the work you trained for, without the parts that burn you out. Sailor Health is hiring licensed clinical psychologists to provide telehealth therapy to older adults, fully from home. We fill your caseload, handle billing and admin, and give you real clinical support, so your time goes to patients. Don’t just take our word for it: read what our psychologists say in our Indeed reviews.

🌊 About Sailor Health

Older adults are too often overlooked by mental healthcare. Sailor Health exists to change that. Through Medicare-covered therapy, care navigation, and healthcare advocacy, we help older adults move through grief, loss, isolation, and life’s hardest transitions with more ease and peace of mind.

Our model is built around their needs and yours:

  • We handle everything outside the session. Care Navigators and Healthcare Advocates take on patients’ non-clinical needs, so your work stays clinical.

  • You’re part of a team. Clinical Quality Leads provide ongoing consultation, and our provider support team answers questions as they come up.

  • Demand is steady. We serve patients in all 50 states, with a consistent flow of referrals.

✅ Who Thrives at Sailor

  • You care about the mission. Supporting older adults through grief, loss, and the challenges of later life feels meaningful to you.

  • You understand this population. Maybe you’ve spent years working with older adults, or you’re later in your own career and chose this work on purpose.

  • You do your best work on a team. You want colleagues, a clinical lead, and real support, not just a login and good wishes.

  • You like independence with backup. You trust your clinical judgment and want infrastructure behind you, not oversight on top of you.
