Full Time Independent Contractor Clinician

We provide comprehensive services for adults, children, adolescents, families, and couples. There are openings for clinicians who are skilled in CBT, DBT, MFT, and EMDR theories as well as licensed to practice in the State of Michigan as a MSW, LPC, LLP, PhD, and PsyD.

This is a full-time position. Clinicians are expected to be available to see clients at least 30 hours per week and facilitate groups if there is a need (there is schedule flexibility). Compensation is based on a percentage of fees collected, which can change in favor of the clinician based on number of years in practice at our office and incentive programs. As a result of being a growing, and thriving practice, there are opportunities for career growth and development. Your responsibilities as a private, independent practitioner (not an employee) can include individual, family, couples, and group therapy, based on your preference and practice needs. This position involves at least one scheduled evening amongst weekday hours or evening hours substituted with Saturday hours. However, the specific hours and frequency can be tailored to meet our clinical needs as well as your individual schedule as long as a regular, consistent, full time schedule is established.

Testimonials:

“The experience and confidence that I gained while interning at AFBHS has been so invaluable to my growing as a therapist. One thing that I believe is very specific to this internship is the multiculturalism that exists both within the staff and the clientele, which has prepared me to serve a wide range of people confidently. I have no doubt that this internship at AFBHS not only helped me with counseling skills, but also with a wide range of other learning experiences needed to have a career in the counseling field.” Henry, 2020 Counseling and Marriage Family Therapy

I had an excellent experience at AFBHS and I received exactly what I hoped I would when I first started. This site offers a variety of client experiences with no shortage of clientele. I worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults from a variety of backgrounds. The supervisory experience, team atmosphere, and the practice’s specialization in DBT services was also wonderful to be a part of. I highly recommend this practice to prospective master’s level interns. Adrian, 2020 Masters Intern
