Lead Therapist

About Nabi

At Nabi, 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 we're looking for the therapist/psychologist to help build it.

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.

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. No single discipline owns the care plan here.

• 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.

Clinical Leadership

• Set the clinical bar for therapy at Nabi for what excellent eating disorder treatment looks like, how it's documented, and how it's measured.

• 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.

• Partner with the Chief Clinical Officer on expanding care, growing your team, and other priorities as they emerge.
