Job Description
Hope Network is seeking skilled, independent therapists to deliver high-quality behavioral health services to adults, children, and families across Michigan.
This opportunity is ideal for professionals seeking flexibility, competitive earnings, and autonomy in their practice.
This is a business-to-business independent contractor opportunity, not an employment position. Contractors maintain autonomy over their practice, including their schedule and caseload, while accessing Hope Network's operational, credentialing, technology, and billing support.
- Flexible Scheduling: Choose when and where you work (telehealth or in-person).
- Competitive Compensation: Fee-for-service model with market-aligned reimbursement rates.
- Hassle-Free Billing: Efficient and transparent payment processing.
- Credentialing Assistance: We facilitate insurance paneling to streamline your practice.
- Technology & Resources: Secure access to electronic medical records and telehealth platforms.
- Operational Support: Non-clinical administrative assistance so you can focus on patient care.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Provide therapy services to individuals, families, and groups.
- Conduct comprehensive assessments to guide treatment plans.
- Implement evidence-based interventions tailored to client needs.
- Maintain accurate documentation in compliance with regulatory standards.
- Coordinate care and referrals with relevant community resources.
Requirements
- Master’s degree in Social Work, Counseling, or a related human services field.
- Active Michigan licensure (LLMSW, LMSW, LLP, LLPt, LPC, LLPC, LMFT).
- Experience delivering mental health therapy services (preferred).
- Ability to work independently while adhering to professional ethics and legal standards.
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
- Contractors manage their own tax obligations, liability insurance, and benefits.
- This engagement is a contractual business-to-business relationship, not an employment arrangement.
