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.
• 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.
