Fully Licensed Mental Health Therapist 1099

About the role

Ellie Mental Health–Clarkston is an independently owned private practice offering in-person and telehealth services throughout Michigan. We are seeking fully licensed clinicians who already operate a private practice—or want to begin building one—without having to manage every administrative detail alone. This 1099 opportunity provides access to a welcoming, furnished therapy office and practice‑support services, including insurance credentialing and billing. Clinicians maintain the independence of private practice while working alongside a collaborative professional community grounded in authenticity, compassion, creativity, humor, acceptance, and determination. This is a 1099 independent‑contractor opportunity, not a W‑2 employee position. Contractors are not salaried and do not receive employee benefits, paid leave, employer‑paid payroll taxes, or other W‑2 protections. Compensation is based on the terms of the independent‑contractor agreement and collected insurance and client payments for completed services. The reimbursement structure, service fees, office availability, and included administrative support will be reviewed before contracting. Clinicians retain professional independence and control over their schedules, caseload size, and clinical approach, subject to applicable laws, ethical standards, payer requirements, credentialing agreements, and the written contractor agreement.
