Mental health therapist visa sponsorship: common questions
Do US employers sponsor visas for mental health therapists?
Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 473 H-1B, E-3 and H-1B1 applications for mental health therapists from 260 employers and 316 green card (PERM) applications from 40 employers. On this board tonight, 7 open mental health jobs say in their own posting that they sponsor a visa.
Which employers sponsor the most H-1B visas for mental health therapists?
By certified applications in that period: The Devereux Foundation (47), Sea Mar Community Health Centers (13) and Phronetic Psychotherapy LCSW PC (11). 260 employers filed at least one; the full list has the 25 that filed the most.
Which employers sponsor green cards for mental health therapists?
By certified PERM applications in that period: The Devereux Foundation (264), Gandara Mental Health Center, Inc. (8) and The Asian Americans for Community Involvement of Santa Clara County, Inc. (2). 40 employers filed at least one (the list).
What do employers that sponsor mental health therapists pay?
The median of the lowest hourly rate each H-1B application offered was $32.87 an hour; for green card applications, $13.36. BLS measured a US median of $28.53 an hour for mental health therapists (their pay). An H-1B employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the job and the place, so a sponsored worker is paid like anyone in the same job.
Where are the jobs these employers sponsor mental health therapists for?
H-1B worksites, most applications first: New York, California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Illinois. Green card worksites: Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, California, New York and Washington.
Can a mental health therapist from outside the US get a job there with visa sponsorship?
Yes, when a US employer files for it; the worker cannot apply for the visa alone. For mental health therapists the usual route is the H-1B, a temporary work visa for jobs that need at least a bachelor's degree: 260 employers had 473 applications certified from 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 (the list), and 40 employers filed 316 green card applications for permanent jobs. Most open jobs, on this board and elsewhere, hire people already allowed to work in the US, and a job that sponsors says so in its posting. Write to the sponsoring employers above directly, and never pay anyone a fee for a job offer or a visa: honest employers do not ask for one (FTC: job scams).
How current is this, and where does it come from?
From the Office of Foreign Labor Certification's disclosure files for 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, published 2026-08-07. Only applications the Labor Department certified are counted, each read as an occupation by its own job title. A certified application is not yet a visa: USCIS decides the petition after it. CareJobs.Now rebuilds these figures each quarter the files are published.
Sources and method
Counted from the Labor Department's disclosure files: only applications it certified (for PERM, also those certified and then expired unused). Each is read as an occupation by its own job title, with the classifier the board's job pages use; a title it cannot read counts only where its occupation code belongs to one occupation alone. Wages are the lowest rate each application offered, a yearly salary counted over 2,080 hours. Employer names are as the Department records them; a name opens a page here only when it matches one of the board's employers exactly.
