At Canary Care, our mission is grounded in purpose:
bringing exceptional, evidence-based mental healthcare directly to West Virginia's rural communities to actively break down barriers to care
. We are extraordinarily compassionate about the care we provide to our community members, ensuring that high-quality, ethical mental health services, including therapy, are accessible where it is needed most.

We believe that providing outstanding care for our rural communities starts with taking extraordinary care of our clinical team. We handle the business side—providing steady client referrals, full billing support, and administrative infrastructure—so you can focus entirely on your passion for clinical healing without burnout.

• Provide high-quality, evidence-based individual, family, or specialized psychotherapy to a diverse caseload of children and/or adults in rural West Virginia.

• Maintain timely, thorough, and compliant clinical documentation in our Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.

• Conduct clinical assessments, diagnosis, treatment planning, and regular progress evaluations.

• Practice strictly within legal, ethical, and professional boundaries set by West Virginia licensing boards.

• Education: Master’s or Doctoral degree in Social Work, Professional Counseling, Psychology, or a related mental health field required.

• Licensure: Active, unencumbered West Virginia clinical license (LICSW, LPC, or Licensed Psychologist). Provisionally licensed clinicians actively pursuing full licensure will also be considered.

• Experience: Demonstrated counseling/psychotherapy experience with a strong clinical interest in working with both children and adults.
