About Affect

Building on our success in substance use disorder care, Affect has expanded its services to include high-quality, accessible mental health treatment. Our model brings together licensed therapists, innovative technology, and a deeply human approach to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges—on their terms.

As we grow, we’re seeking skilled, compassionate licensed mental health professionals to join our remote care team. If you're an Illinois licensed LCSW, LCPC, or LMFT looking to make an impact through virtual care, we’d love to connect.

Note: Our ability to provide supervision for non-independent mental health professionals varies by state and license. We support non-independent licenses when possible.
