Clinical Manager and Therapist – Full-Time
Ellie Mental Health–Clarkston is an independently owned practice providing in-person and telehealth care throughout Michigan. Our team is guided by authenticity, compassion, creativity, humor, acceptance, and determination.
We seek an independently licensed clinician and experienced leader to serve as Clinical Manager. This is a working clinical-leadership position—not an administrative-only role. The Clinical Manager must provide outpatient therapy, maintain an assigned caseload, and complete related clinical responsibilities while supporting staff, daily operations, quality, and practice growth.
Compensation and Caseload
This is a W-2 position with compensation reflecting both clinical and assigned management responsibilities. The compensation structure, leadership allocation, and required clinical caseload will be reviewed during the interview and documented in the offer letter.
Maintaining an active caseload is an essential function of this position. The Clinical Manager must consistently meet established client-facing expectations while reliably completing leadership duties.
