Fully Licensed Mental Health Therapist

Looking for passionate therapists to join my team! At Blackbird Counseling Center, I'm looking to add therapists to my group who are compassionate, kind, and driven to succeed. Not only is it about providing mental health services to those in need, but also about professional development and growth within this position that allows clinicians to work independently but also efficiently in a professional setting. So often, the goal at various clinics is for therapists to see as many clients as possible to generate as much income as possible, but here at Blackbird Counseling Center, I want to focus on therapist needs and creating an environment that makes everyone succeed-clients and therapists alike! Individuals will be hired as independent contractors who are paid via a split fee reimbursement agreement for their services. The split fee starts at 60%, and maxes out at 75% for clinicians who perform well and meet expectations. Therapists can work in office, virtually via telehealth sessions, or a hybrid of both.

Laurel Park Dr., Suite 110, Livonia, MI 48152 or other locations that Blackbird Counseling Center may deem appropriate (personal home for telehealth sessions, etc).

b) Contractor will schedule their own clients, correspond with client communications, and manage their caseload in an ethical and professional fashion.

c) Contractor will maintain state licensing rules and regulations, making sure their license does not expire, CEUs are met, etc. during their time working for the Company.

d) Contractor will purchase and provide proof of their own personal liability insurance to conduct services as a clinician at Blackbird Counseling Center.

e) Contractor will assist in collecting payments and copays from clients towards their balance within the clinic. Any pro-rated services for potential clients will be specified and agreed upon with the clinic director/owner prior to providing sessions.

f) Contractor will complete documentation including progress notes, intake notes, treatment plans, and all other related documentation within 72 hours of the scheduled appointment with the client.
