Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Who We Are: ManMade Group is a Maryville-based practice with a mission of supporting teens, men, and their families in East Tennessee. We bring together like-minded counselors who practice person-centered, holistic, and experiential therapy. Our counselors focus on treating:

• Addiction
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Depression
• Family & Relationship Dynamics
• Life Transitions
• Men’s Issues
• Trauma

Why Join Our Group: We believe therapy is most powerful when it's rooted in connection — not just between therapist and client, but also among the providers who choose to walk this path together. Private practice doesn't have to mean isolation. Going solo means carrying everything alone — the business, the insurance credentialing, the isolation of clinical work without trusted colleagues, and the grind of building a caseload from zero. We've built the infrastructure so you don't have to.

What You Get Here:

• An established referral stream — you won't be starting from scratch
• A niche that actually fills caseloads (men's mental health and teen work are underserved in the Maryville/Blount County area)
• Collegial consultation without having to seek it out yourself
• Administrative and billing support so you can focus on clinical work
• Flexibility and autonomy — this isn't a corporate clinic
• Opportunity to create and facilitate meaningful therapeutic programming with an established team and resources behind you

The Work: Our focus areas are men's mental health, adolescent counseling, and family systems. You don't have to have worked exclusively in these areas, but genuine interest in working with men and teens is essential. This population is often harder to reach but more rewarding when you do.

• Clinical Caseload: Maintain a balanced caseload of individual, family, and/or couple's sessions, primarily focused on teens, adult men, and their families.
• Program Development: Design and lead innovative, non-traditional therapeutic functions (e.g., wilderness excursions, men's groups, skills workshops) that reinforce clinical objectives. Our vision is to create meaningful programs and initiatives that foster connection and make a positive impact in the community.
• High Autonomy: Manage your own schedule and caseload with high independence. We provide the infrastructure; you provide the initiative and clinical excellence.
• Collaboration: Work with like-minded therapists on our team and a dedicated admin but primarily operate as a self-managed expert in your domain.
• Documentation: Maintain timely and ethical clinical documentation.

What We're Looking For: Our ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in a supportive but independent environment. This person is either seeking to enter private practice or is already in private practice but wants support with administrative functions (e.g., marketing, billing, credentialing), collaboration with other therapists, and to be part of a collective that allows opportunities to grow professionally beyond the therapy room.

• Licensure: Fully licensed as an LCSW, LPC, or LMFT in the state of Tennessee (or license-eligible with a clear plan for immediate licensure).
• Niche Interest: Demonstrates passion, and some experience preferred, for working with teens, men's issues, and complex family dynamics.
• Self-Reliance is Non-Negotiable: You must be highly capable of working independently, managing your time, and driving your own success without constant oversight. We don't want to be your boss, we want to be your partner.
• The "Outside" Mindset: A genuine enthusiasm for developing and implementing therapeutic functions and groups outside of standard individual talk therapy. Tell us what you want to build, and we will provide structure and support.
• Ethical & Authentic: Committed to ethical practice, authenticity, and straightforward communication. No fluff.
• Teamwork: Someone who wants to be part of a team, not just occupy a suite.

Compensation & Structure: We operate on a fee-split model that rewards a higher caseload while emphasizing work-life balance. We are transparent and will openly discuss how we approach the structure and differences between being an employee or contractor — we are open to both.
