Mental Health Specialist

At Sword, we’re building AI to heal billions and unlock humanity’s full potential. In doing so, we’re pioneering AI Care, a fundamentally new approach to healthcare built for medical reasoning, safety, and real-time treatment, not generic technology applied after the fact. As both a clinical-centric frontier AI lab and an applied AI platform, Sword is reimagining how care is delivered at scale, removing traditional barriers like appointments, waiting rooms, and stigma so more people can access the care they need—and ultimately get back to lives lived in full.

Since 2020, Sword has expanded across physical therapy, women’s health, cardiometabolic, and mental health, and is now moving beyond the session to a fully AI-native, 24/7 care program that brings physical activity, therapeutic exercise, psychotherapy, nutrition, and behavior change into one connected experience. More than 700,000 members across three continents have completed over 10 million AI sessions, helping 1,000+ enterprise clients avoid more than $1 billion in unnecessary healthcare costs. Backed by 42 clinical studies, 44+ patents, and more than $500 million raised from leading investors including Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and Founders Fund, Sword is defining a new standard for healthcare.

We're seeking a licensed Clinical Psychologist (PhD or PsyD) to join our mental health program, Mind, as a Mental Health Specialist. In this role, you'll work alongside Phoenix, Sword’s AI-care agent, to provide direct member support, helping individuals build lasting mental wellness through evidence-based care. This is an opportunity to combine clinical expertise with AI-native technology to deliver transformative care at scale — removing the clinician as the bottleneck without removing the clinician from care.

Note: this position sits within a start-up team environment, where the nature of the role and program will continue to evolve.

About Mind:

People’s minds are always on. So is Mind — Sword Health's AI-native mental health program, built to close the engagement, access, and outcomes gaps left by traditional care. At its core is a continuous three-way conversation between the member, their psychologist, and Phoenix, Sword's AI Care Specialist. Phoenix provides 24/7 support — conversational support, evidence-based activities, and psycho-education within a defined scope — and escalates to the psychologist whenever a moment calls for a clinician. Psychologists remain in the loop throughout, overseeing quality, staying accountable for all clinical and safety decisions, and stepping in directly for the moments that matter most. This program delivers measurement-based care using wearable, phone, and self-report data, and is grounded in a foundation-first approach (movement, sleep, and other cognitive and behavioral skills) to help members improve daily functioning, reduce symptoms, and sustain long-term gains.
