The short answer
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for licensed therapists in Arizona to treat Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans by telehealth. You need an independent license in Arizona, such as LPC, LMFT, LCSW, or psychologist, and your clients must be located in Arizona during sessions.
Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Arizona?
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Arizona. Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans there are looking for therapists who accept CHAMPVA and VA Community Care, and there aren't enough.
VA estimates about 467,010 Veterans live in Arizona, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.
Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Arizona?
The independent counselor license in Arizona is the LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), issued by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. Licensed Associate Counselors (LAC) practice under supervision, and ValorWell isn't working with supervised clinicians right now. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Arizona also qualify, under the titles Arizona uses.
For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in Arizona, you need an Arizona license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?
Can you practice in Arizona through a compact?
- Counseling Compact: Arizona is a member state and is issuing privileges to practice, so counselors whose home state is also an active member can apply for a privilege to practice in Arizona.
- PSYPACT: Arizona participates, so psychologists with PSYPACT authority can practice telepsychology with clients located there.
- Social Work Licensure Compact: Arizona has enacted it, but the compact isn't issuing multistate licenses yet.
Compact status changes often. See Counseling Compact, PSYPACT, and the Social Work Compact and the Counseling Compact map.
What VA care is available in Arizona?

Arizona is in Community Care Network Region 4, run by TriWest. VA has started moving to new network contracts, so regions and administrators may change.
