Pine Rest believes in the power of healing and that everyone in our community has the right to expert care for mental health and substance use disorders. We are the third largest non-profit behavioral health system in the country, with our 220-acre main campus and a network of clinical sites across Michigan. We are a tight-knit community of healers who witness the impact of our life-changing work each day.

We strive to close gaps in access to care, innovate through leading-edge research, testing, programs, and treatment modalities that others replicate across the country. Our services include a state-of-the-art psychiatric urgent care center and a soon-to-be-built pediatric behavioral health center, outpatient, inpatient, partial hospitalization (day programs), assessment and testing, residential, addiction treatment and specialty services such as crisis response, employee assistance programs, forensic psychiatry and psychology, and neuromodulation.

On-the-job educational programs for nurses, psychologists, advanced practice providers, psychiatrists, and chaplains are equipping the next generation of care providers. We are passionate about serving and are honored to be a part of this incredible work.

As a Clinical Therapist at Pine Rest, you’ll be part of a tight-knit team that believes in the healing power of your expertise and compassion. Within the framework of the organization, you will be responsible for providing assessment, counseling, treatment, and referrals and advocacy services for patients.

Our Clinical Therapists are driven to make an impact in the lives of those we serve and are motivated by the healing they witness first-hand each day.
