About the Role

Wanderlust Careers provides high-quality Career Coaching, Career Testing, and Professional Writing Services led by a team of exceptionally bright and accomplished master's and doctoral-level Career Coaches.

If you’re a master’s or doctoral-level clinician with a background in mental health and are looking to shift your focus from therapy to coaching, this may be a strong fit.

It requires a high level of emotional resilience, clinical skill, and attention to detail. We operate a highly structured, data-driven, and clinically supervised model, where consistency, accountability, and excellence are essential.

This position is ideal for someone who desires to apply their clinical experience within a mission-driven social enterprise focused on helping others. Our ideal candidate is confident and composed under pressure, unflappable during difficult conversations, highly organized, exceptionally responsive, and meticulously detail-oriented. It’s also important that they are warm and empowering, eager to learn, and a collaborative team player committed to making a meaningful impact.

If you're a natural helper, a driven self-starter, and someone who wants to make a real difference in people’s lives, this could be the role for you. It’s not easy work—you’ll be challenged, held to high standards, and expected to show up fully—but for the right person, it’s incredibly rewarding and deeply impactful.
