Outpatient Psychologist (LLP or LP)

JOB DESCRIPTION & OVERVIEW

Our multi-specialty practice is eager to add a psychologist (master's or doctoral level) to our treatment team. Candidates can expect to provide individual psychotherapy, conduct 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 their career as a psychologist in clinical practice, while honing their skills within a multi-disciplinary team. Formal assessment skills would be a asset.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Conduct comprehensive patient assessments and diagnostic evaluations to determine mental health needs.
• Provide psychotherapy and mental health counseling to individuals, including children and families.
• Maintain accurate medical records and ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations.
• Implement crisis intervention strategies and develop treatment plans tailored to each patient.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in both inpatient and outpatient settings to enhance patient care.
• Utilize psychological testing and telehealth services as needed to support patient progress.

WHAT WE OFFER

Meaningful Change: Clinical & Consultation Psychology is pleased to provide a professional, clinically driven, 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, marketting, 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 outcomes.

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 clinical or counseling psychology and commensurate licensure in the State of Michigan (LLP or LP) is mandatory for the position. Doctorate holders (PhD or PsyD) will enjoy greater compensation.

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 $50 - $80, based on degree, skills, experience, and hours worked. This is roughly $62,500 - $100,000 per year, based on a 50-week, 25 weekly clinical hour schedule.

· $50 - $80 per clinical hour ($62500 - $100’000 per year)

· Health, Vision, & Dental coverage options through BCBS-MI

· Retirement Plan with Employer Match following 1-year as an employee

APPLICATION PROCESS

• Applications should include a resumé.
• We encourage an open discussion about your career goals and goodness of fit for the practice during an in-person interview. This is required for all qualified candidates.
• A cover letter with a statement of interest may be helpful in outlining your career goals. This is encouraged, though not required.
• References should be on the applicant’s resumé, though any letters of reference (optional) will be reviewed by the hiring manager.
