What are the responsibilities and job description for the Clinical Director position at Pleasant Psychology?
Join a child-focused private practice where you can help shape the future of our team and community.
We are seeking a Clinical Director to join our growing multidisciplinary private practice. This is a full-time, salaried W-2 position that offers competitive pay, benefits, and the opportunity to provide clinical leadership while maintaining a meaningful therapy caseload.
Pleasant Psychology provides mental health services to kids and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, challenging behaviors, social difficulties, and family stressors. Our practice grew from a desire to support families before concerns become serious problems. We believe in empowering families, supporting our community, and taking care of our team.
This role is ideal for a therapist who is ready to grow into a leadership role. We are looking for someone who enjoys strengthening a team and wants to play an active role in improving clinical care and administrative systems. If you're looking for an opportunity to have a greater influence on how a practice grows while continuing to provide excellent clinical services, we'd love to hear from you.
What We're Looking For
- Master's or doctoral degree in counseling, social work, psychology, or related field
- Fully licensed in Michigan (LPC, LMSW, LLP, LP)
- At least 3 years of experience providing evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents
- Training in CBT, PCIT, ERP, play therapy, TF-CBT, or similar approaches
- At least 1 year of experience supervising or mentoring clinicians preferred
- Excellent organizational, administrative, and leadership abilities
- A positive, solution-focused attitude
What We Offer
- W-2 employment with consistent, predictable income
- Competitive full-time salary starting from $75,000 per year based on degree level, licensure, leadership experience, and clinical experience
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- Medical insurance contribution
- 401(k) match up to 3%
- Paid professional development, CEU opportunities, and ongoing consultation
- Collaborative and supportive team environment
- Fully furnished office space and play therapy rooms designed for children and families
- Reasonable productivity expectations that prioritize high-quality care, therapist wellbeing, and time necessary for leadership responsibilities
- Flexibility to build a schedule that works for you and your clients, typically M-F with one evening per week
We intentionally use a salaried W-2 model because we believe clinicians provide the best care when they have financial stability, predictable income, paid time off, and a healthy work-life balance. Our therapists don't have to compete for referrals or worry about cancellations affecting their paycheck. Instead, our administrative team handles intake scheduling, billing, and insurance so therapists can focus on providing exceptional care to children and families.
Position Responsibilities
- Provide individual and family therapy to children and adolescents using evidence-based, engaging approaches (approximately 20 client hours per week)
- Collaborate closely with parents and caregivers who want your support and expertise
- Facilitate group therapy programs aligned with your clinical interests
- Complete clinical documentation with reasonable deadlines
- Develop and implement trainings and other resources for the community
- Provide clinical supervision, consultation, and mentorship to therapists
- Monitor operations and clinical work to help ensure the practice runs efficiently
- Foster a supportive work culture that promotes professional growth and quality clinical services
- Coordinate with schools, physicians, and community partners when appropriate
- Maintain ethical, professional, and licensing standards
This position may be a great fit if you...
- Are ready to step into a clinical leadership role
- Have ideas for improving clinical care, team culture, and practice operations
- Want the stability of a salaried W-2 position rather than a fee-split model
- Enjoy partnering with motivated parents and caregivers
- Value collaboration and want to be part of a healthy, well-run practice
- Are energized by helping other clinicians build confidence and develop skills
- Want to continue providing excellent clinical care while helping shape the future of an organization
