    LPC / LMHC jobs in Michigan: common questions

    Do you need a license to work as a LPC / LMHC in Michigan?
    LPC, LMSW and LMFT are licensed by LARA. Confirm the current position with the Michigan board before you accept a start date, as processing time is the usual cause of a delayed start.
    What is the average LPC / LMHC salary in Michigan?
    Federal wage data for Michigan puts the median for substance abuse, behavioral disorder, and mental health counselors at $61,690 a year, with the middle of the market between $38,490 and $94,400 and about 10,100 people employed in the state (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025). Federal figures group substance abuse, behavioral disorder and mental health counselors together. Advertised pay on the LPC / LMHC roles we recruit nationally sits at roughly $55k – $85k, and offers land inside that band according to setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
    Does LPC / LMHC pay in Michigan differ from the rest of the US?
    We publish advertised pay on the roles we recruit, not a Michigan average. Across the US those LPC / LMHC roles are advertised at roughly $55k – $85k, and where a Michigan offer lands inside that band is driven by setting, caseload and metro cost of living. For an official comparison, Michigan median pay for substance abuse, behavioral disorder, and mental health counselors is $61,690; treat that as a negotiating floor.
    Where are the LPC / LMHC jobs in Michigan?
    Steady ABA and community mental health demand with strong Medicaid-funded volume. The live LPC / LMHC vacancies we hold in Michigan are listed on this page; when nothing is open there today, the national LPC / LMHC board carries every role we currently hold.
    Who employs LPC / LMHCs in Michigan?
    The employers hiring this credential are outpatient clinics, community mental health, substance use treatment, schools and colleges, telehealth. Which of those dominates in Michigan follows the local funding and provider mix rather than any national pattern, and it is the single biggest driver of what an offer looks like: the same LPC / LMHC is priced differently by a center-based provider, a school district and a hospital system.
    What do employers look for when hiring a LPC / LMHC in Michigan?
    First, the credential and the right to practise: state licensure (lpc, lmhc, lpcc, lcpc depending on state). LPC, LMSW and LMFT are licensed by LARA. After that, hiring managers screen on the specifics of the work — caseload size you have carried, the settings you have worked in, supervision responsibility, and documentation or payer experience. Availability matters too: a realistic start date that accounts for board processing usually beats a stronger resume that cannot start.
    What does the salary range on this page actually mean?
    Two different things, kept separate on purpose. $55k – $85k is what LPC / LMHC roles we recruit are advertised at across the US — a live market signal, not a survey. The federal figures are official Michigan estimates for substance abuse, behavioral disorder, and mental health counselors: $61,690 median, with $38,490 at the 10th percentile and $94,400 at the 90th. They cover the whole occupation in the state, are published annually and lag the market by roughly a year, so read the median as a negotiating floor rather than a target. Neither number is an offer; where you land inside a range is set by setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
