NOW HIRING FOR OUR TWO NEW LANSING CAMPUSES — OPENING SOON!

Counseling Center of West Michigan (CCWM), Michigan’s premier provider-first practice, is growing! We’re excited to bring two brand-new campuses to the greater Lansing area, and we’re looking for providers to join our founding teams.

NOW IS THE TIME TO REACH OUT

One of the many benefits of joining CCWM is our in-house onboarding and credentialing team. We take care of the process for you, allowing you to focus on what you do best—caring for your clients.

Our onboarding and credentialing process takes approximately six weeks, so providers who begin the interview process now can be fully onboarded, credentialed, and ready to see clients when our Lansing campuses open.

Because these are brand-new locations, you won’t have to wait for an opening to join CCWM. You can become part of the founding team from day one and begin building your practice immediately.

THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO:

  • Practice in a freshly remodeled, fully furnished office
  • Build your practice with the flexibility and autonomy of private practice, backed by the support of an established organization
  • Skip the waitlist and begin building your practice with CCWM right away
  • Help shape the culture and presence of a growing organization in the Lansing community

COME DO WHAT YOU LOVE — IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU COME FIRST.

At CCWM, our Provider First approach means we believe the best way to support our patients is to first support the providers caring for them.

We do things a little differently—and our providers tell the story best:

  • 350 Michigan therapists call CCWM home
  • Incredibly low provider turnover
  • Consistently positive feedback from our providers about their experience practicing at CCWM
  • 75% of our practice has been built through clinician referrals

If you’re looking for a practice where you can focus on doing what you love while we focus on supporting you, we’d love to talk.

ABOUT COUNSELING CENTER OF WEST MICHIGAN

Counseling Center of West Michigan was founded in 2019 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by a therapist who couldn’t find a suitable workplace in the area and believed there had to be a better option.

After surveying more than 200 private practice therapists about their experiences and their “wish list” for the ideal workplace, CCWM was born.

Today, CCWM has 13 locations, with two more opening in Lansing soon. While we’ve grown significantly, one thing has never changed: our providers and their experience comes first.

We believe that when providers have the support they need and deserve, are paid exceptionally well, and have the independence and autonomy to practice in a way that works for them, everyone benefits—including the patients we serve.

INCOME POTENTIAL

Our full-time providers—defined as approximately 28 sessions per week—averaged $120,000 in income in 2025, with several therapists and counselors exceeding $150,000.

Whether you see 6 patients a week or 45, your fee split is the same.

We don’t believe pressure to produce is a healthy approach for therapists. Our generous fee split is designed to allow you to build the practice that works for you—without sacrificing the support and infrastructure you need to succeed.

And because CCWM takes care of the administrative side of your practice, you can focus on your patients—not running a business.

CCWM IS PROUD TO OFFERGENEROUS UNCOMPLICATED FEE SPLITS

  • 55% for LLMSW and LLPC
  • 70% for in-person psychotherapy for LMSW, LPC, LMFT, LLP
  • 80% for fully licensed telehealth-only therapists who do not use office space

Fee splits are not based on production, and no corners are cut when it comes to in-office support.

Please note: We are not currently hiring for telehealth-only positions unless the provider is bringing their own full caseload, as our immediate focus is filling our new Lansing locations. If you are interested in telehealth-only work and do not currently have a caseload, email onboarding@counselingcenterwm.org and we would be happy to add you to our waitlist.

YOU FOCUS ON YOUR CLIENTS. WE HANDLE THE REST.

  • Steady referrals
  • Fully furnished offices
