Telehealth Therapist Jobs Serving Veterans in Washington

Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Washington?

Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Washington. 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 494,383 Veterans live in Washington, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.

Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Washington?

The independent counselor license in Washington is the LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), issued by the Washington State Department of Health. Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associates 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 Washington also qualify, under the titles Washington uses.

For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in Washington, you need a Washington license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?

Can you practice in Washington through a compact?

• Counseling Compact: Washington has enacted the compact but wasn't yet listed as issuing privileges as of October 2026. Until it does, counselors need a Washington license.
• PSYPACT: Washington participates, so psychologists with PSYPACT authority can practice telepsychology with clients located there.
• Social Work Licensure Compact: Washington 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 Washington?

VA medical centers serving Washington include facilities in Seattle, Tacoma (American Lake), Spokane, Walla Walla, and Vancouver. Use VA's facility locator for clinics and Vet Centers near a client.

Washington is in Community Care Network Region 4, run by TriWest. VA has started moving to new network contracts, so regions and administrators may change. Eastern Washington is largely rural, far from the Puget Sound medical centers.

Important limits

• Need isn't a referral guarantee. Volume depends on client eligibility, authorizations, and fit.
• Fully licensed only. Associates and prescribers aren't a fit right now.
• Check the board. License titles and rules can change; the state board is the authority.
