Practice Psychiatry Without the Business Headaches

Ready to focus purely on clinical care while we handle everything else? SonderMind is designed for psychiatrists who want the clinical freedom of private practice without the financial risk and administrative complexity.

Why SonderMind Works for Psychiatrists: Unlike traditional private practice, you won't need to invest in overhead costs, staff, or business development. We provide guaranteed bi-weekly pay, handle all credentialing and billing, and deliver qualified patient referrals directly to you. Whether you're supplementing your current practice or seeking a more flexible model, our streamlined approach eliminates administrative burdens while offering competitive compensation.

What We Provide:

Guaranteed Pay & Billing: Bi-weekly payment for completed sessions, including no-shows—we handle all billing at no charge to you
Free Credentialing: Streamlined credentialing with major insurers, including exclusive access to Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans
Patient Referrals: Qualified referrals delivered through our provider directory and marketing efforts
Clinical Support: Weekly office hours with Medical Director Dr. Harris Strokoff and peer consultation opportunities
Complete Flexibility: Office-based, telemedicine, or hybrid practice with your own schedule
Zero Overhead: No staff, office costs, or business development expenses

Clinical Excellence: You maintain complete clinical autonomy while we manage patient acquisition, scheduling assistance, secure telehealth platforms, and operational support.

This opportunity works well for psychiatrists seeking clinical freedom without practice management responsibilities. If you prefer focusing on patient care over business operations, this partnership offers the support you need with the autonomy you want.

Applicants must be:

Licensed Psychiatrists residing in the state of Utah
Looking for a full-time or part-time contract position (1099)

Pay: up to $232 per hour. Pay rates are based on the provider license type and session types.

*Please note that SonderMind does not provide office space; clinicians are responsible for securing their own location for in-person sessions, but we can help connect you with Sondermind clinicians looking to share space.

Technology-Driven Behavioral Health Company SonderMind Raises $150 Million to Expand Mission of Improving Clinical Outcomes

SonderMind Series C Press Release

MedTech Dive

Aug 24th, 2026

FDA adds two behavioral health firms to TEMPO pilot.

FDA adds two behavioral health firms to TEMPO pilot. Sondermind and Limbic are evaluating digital health devices intended to help with anxiety and depression. Published Aug. 24, 2026 Dive brief: * The Food and Drug Administration has picked two behavioral health companies to join its Technology-Enabled Meaningful Patient Outcomes, or TEMPO pilot, growing the total number of participants to four. * Limbic and Sondermind are the next companies to join the pilot program, which allows participants to gather real-world data on devices while being exempted from premarket authorization requirements. * Amid the pilot program, the FDA has also held discussions on digital health technologies for mental health, with patient groups calling for broader oversight in the use of generative artificial intelligence. Dive insight: London-based Limbic will offer an AI mental health service called Unpacked as part of the program. The service provides cognitive behavioral therapy for people with anxiety or depression through telephone calls with an AI voice agent, overseen by a clinician. Limbic CEO Ross Harper said in a statement that the service is intended to address the shortage of mental health professionals. The program is contraindicated for several conditions and is also limited to people who speak English and have access to a telephone. Denver-based Sondermind plans to offer a smartphone application to help reduce anxiety and depression in adults, as an adjunct to therapy or medication. The device, called the SonderMind Adjunctive Care Application, is contraindicated for people experiencing suicidality, manic episodes, psychosis and PTSD. Both selected companies will be able to offer their devices through a new Medicare payment model that rewards providers for improving patient outcomes. The program is designed to support the use of technology to manage chronic health conditions. The FDA has chosen a total of four participants for the TEMPO program, including diabetes technology firm Dexcom and Cadence, a company making a tool for hypertension management.

SonderMind Launches Suite of Clinically-Backed AI Tools for Mental Health Care Delivery to Help People Feel Better, Faster

SonderMind launches Suite of clinically-backed AI tools for mental health care delivery to help people feel better, faster. Grounded in Privacy and Clinician Oversight, SonderMind's AI Suite Provides Continuous Care Beyond the Therapy Session DENVER-(BUSINESS WIRE)-SonderMind, a leader in enabling a continuous care journey beyond the therapy session, today unveiled the SonderMind AI Suite of clinically-backed features that leverage the power of AI and convenience of the SonderMind app to save providers time, empower the client-provider relationship, and provide support in the moments between sessions. Built with clinician oversight, the SonderMind AI Suite is governed ethically by SonderMind's AI Constitution. "AI is all around us, including in mental health care, but AI cannot replace the human connection that is absolutely necessary to move the needle for individuals in need," said Mark Frank, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of SonderMind. "At SonderMind, we are laser focused on developing AI-powered tools, built with rigorous clinical oversight, that improve and complement the core principle of therapy - human connection." For health systems and payors seeking measurable, scalable behavioral health solutions that lower total cost of care, and deliver continuity across the member journey, SonderMind's AI Suite improves engagement, accelerates provider documentation, and reinforces client progress between visits. Unlike fragmented point solutions, SonderMind delivers accountable mental health care, powered by ethical AI and built for value-based health care. * Increased impact of care: Deepens therapy impact and speed to outcomes. * Measurable outcomes built for value-based care: Claim turnaround time, measured goal attainment mapped to value-based healthcare, with tools and reporting aligned to VBHC contracts and quality measures. * Clinically-backed, ethically governed: Always co-developed with clinicians, never autonomous. For those in therapy, the hardest part might not be the one-hour session, but the 167 hours of the week between sessions. SonderMind's AI Suite fills this gap, giving clients a 24/7 clinical companion to reinforce insights, track progress, and provide motivation, beyond the typical weekly or recurring session. * Continuous, personalized care accessible at scale: Always-on support extends the impact of therapy with recaps, journaling, and goal-setting. * Clinical & ethically rigorous AI with unmatched privacy: HIPAA-compliant, encrypted tools developed with licensed clinicians and strict governance. SonderMind's AI capabilities streamline clinician workflows - helping reclaim time, reduce burnout, and enable providers to be more present when engaging with clients. Integrating SonderMind's AI capabilities across the ecosystem ensures that traditional silos are eliminated and enables greater human connection and engagement. * Huge time-savings: AI Notes, Session Prep, Treatment Plans, and Session Takeaways reduce administrative work without compromising quality. * Strengthened therapeutic alliance: Increased provider presence to reinforce - not replace - the relationship between a therapist and their client. * Ethically governed, practice-grounded: HIPAA-compliant, co-developed with licensed clinicians, guided by SonderMind's AI Constitution. * Seamless support that providers control: Integrated directly into a provider's workflow, all AI-enhanced features are 100% opt-in with no extra steps. SonderMind's generative AI features are governed by SonderMind's AI Constitution - a clinical, privacy-first framework that guides development, deployment, and oversight, and approved by SonderMind's AI Governance Council comprised of clinicians, compliance experts, and product leaders. * Clinician-guided: Co-developed with licensed therapists; released only after clinical review and workflow testing. * Client control: Explicit opt-in for recording; easy opt-out from covered features; providers retain control over provider features. * Privacy & security: HIPAA + ISO 27001; dual encryption; encrypted audio deleted after 30 days; feature-specific deletion protocols. * Accountable governance: Cross-functional AI Governance Council; documented intended use/risks; annual bias & safety reviews; audit logs. SonderMind's commitment to safe AI usage and compliance is evident in its adherence to HIPAA and ISO 27001 standards, dual encryption, and privacy-by-design principles. About SonderMind At SonderMind, we believe everyone deserves to have continuous mental health care 24/7, at any stage of life. SonderMind care encompasses everything from therapy and medication management to meditation and mindfulness exercises.
