Limited-License Mental Health Therapist – Full-Time
Ellie Mental Health–Clarkston is an independently owned private practice providing in-person and telehealth care throughout Michigan. Our furnished clinic and administrative support, including billing, allow clinicians to focus on client care and professional growth.
Join a collaborative practice committed to high-quality mental health care and the values of authenticity, compassion, creativity, humor, acceptance, and determination.
Compensation
This is a W-2 straight-commission position, not a salaried position. Clinicians earn a commission percentage of collected insurance and client payments for completed services, a common outpatient private-practice model. Compensation covers session preparation, client sessions, scheduling, documentation, and required meetings. Unlike a 1099 arrangement, the W-2 model includes employee benefits, employer-paid payroll taxes, and employment protections.
Caseload Development
Building and maintaining a caseload is a shared responsibility. The practice provides marketing, online scheduling, administrative support, community relationships, and practice-generated referrals. Clinicians must also maintain availability, respond promptly to referrals, support client retention, communicate their specialties, and participate in approved outreach.
Outreach may include building relationships with physicians, schools, hospitals, and community organizations. Approved outreach and caseload-development activities are paid at $20 per hour when authorized in advance.
Full-time clinicians must average at least 25 direct client-facing hours per week and initially offer approximately 35 scheduling hours per week to support caseload growth and cancellations. At least one evening is required. Additional evening or weekend availability is valuable when serving children, adolescents, and families.
