What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mental Health Therapist position at Meaningful Change: Clinical & Consultation...?
FULL JOB DESCRIPTION & OVERVIEW
Our multi-specialty practice is looking for a motivated master’s level mental health therapist (psychologist, counselor, or clinical social worker) to join our treatment team. Candidates can expect to provide individual therapy, conduct brief assessments, and provide optional group treatments, across the spectrum of mental health disorders. Treatment providers are encouraged to develop their own niche or specialty areas based on clinical interests and preferred age range or demographics. Consultation between colleagues and close supervision are available and encouraged.
An ideal candidate for this position is someone that is looking to further a career in clinical practice, while honing their skills within a multi-disciplinary team.
WHAT WE OFFER
Meaningful Change: Clinical & Consultation Psychology is pleased to provide a professional, results driven, clinically advanced, safe, and collaborative work environment, where treatment providers can expect reliable compensation and leadership. Our clinical staff are encouraged to pursue excellence in patient care, professional development, and collegiate collaboration, while leaving the burden of administrative tasks, referrals, marketing, and finances, to our practice management team. We are proud to be a genuine multi-disciplinary practice where psychology, psychiatry, counseling and social work can collaborate to optimize patient success.
WHY PRIVATE PRACTICE?
As compared to the larger group practices and medical systems, our small outpatient private practice allows clinicians to focus on their primary interest – patient care, without the burdens of bureaucratic red tape, micromanagement, or hidden expectations. Clinical staff at this practice enjoy greater decision-making autonomy, choice of clientele, freedom to tailor treatment plans, and encouragement to develop their clinical specialties. Treatment providers enjoy the flexibility of setting their work schedules within our private practice structure, are never asked to take on-call hours, and over time, may elect for a mix of in-person, and online sessions.
REQUIRED EDUCATION & LICENSURE
A master's degree in counseling, psychology, or social work, as well as commensurate licensure in the State of Michigan (LPC, LLP, LMSW-C, LMFT, LP, etc.) is mandatory for the position. Doctorate holders will enjoy greater compensation and responsibility (if desired).
While independent licensure is strongly preferred, exceptional candidates seeking post-degree supervision and training, who are an excellent long-term fit for the practice, will also be considered.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Candidates will receive competitive hourly pay ranging from $65 - $85, based on degree, skills, experience, and hours worked. This is roughly $81,250 - $106,250 per year, based on a 50-week, 25 weekly clinical hour schedule. It should be noted that actual income is a product of completed client hours.
