Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) – Full-Time

Ellie Mental Health–Clarkston is an independently owned practice providing in-person and telehealth care throughout Michigan. Our furnished clinic and administrative support, including billing, allow clinicians to focus primarily on client care and growth.

We seek a compassionate Michigan LMSW to join a collaborative practice grounded in 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, an industry-standard 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 retention, communicate their specialties, and participate in approved outreach.

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 account for cancellations. At least one evening is required. Additional evening or weekend availability is especially valuable when serving children, adolescents, and families.

Conduct mental health intake assessments and establish diagnoses within scope

Develop treatment plans and provide evidence-based psychotherapy

Complete progress notes, treatment plans, risk documentation, and other records accurately and on time

Maintain scheduling consistency and follow up after cancellations

Respond promptly and professionally to referrals

Participate in consultation, staff meetings, and quality-improvement activities

Communicate professionally with clients, families, colleagues, billing staff, and referral partners

Participate actively in caseload development and community outreach

Required Qualifications

Current, unrestricted Michigan LMSW license in good standing with the Clinical designation; limited licensure does not qualify

Master of Social Work degree from a CSWE-accredited program

Experience with outpatient psychotherapy, assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, risk assessment, and documentation

Ability to complete accurate documentation within practice timelines

Willingness to take an active role in building and maintaining a caseload

Strong communication, organization, initiative, professional boundaries, dependability, and follow-through

Ability to serve diverse clients competently within scope of practice

Proficiency with EHR and office technology; Valant experience is a plus

Preferred Qualifications

Outpatient private-practice experience

Credentialing with commercial insurance, Medicaid, or EAP panels

Community or professional referral relationships

Outreach, presentation, marketing, or professional social-media experience

Clinical specialties responsive to community needs
