Kalamazoo Therapy Group is a collaborative environment of private practice clinicians providing outpatient counseling services to residents of the state of Michigan. We believe that the culture of your workplace is an essential part of your health, happiness, and career success as a mental health practitioner. We strive to create an environment offering the support, teamwork, resources, and collaboration of a group while also providing each clinician the freedom and flexibility of private practice. We seek to support work-life balance as well as professional and personal health and well-being of all team members.
We offer flexible options to match your personal needs — whether it be simply renting an office in order to have access to — and support from — our community, or receiving administrative and billing support. We combine the best perks (support and resources) of being in a group practice setting while also allowing you the freedom to focus on doing what you love: therapy!
We are well known in the community as a reputable resource for specific niches and specialties, including sex therapy, EMDR, couples therapy, ADHD, self-esteem, racial trauma, LGBTQ+, aging, and solution focused therapy. If you have a specialty and want to help grow and strengthen your reputation, we would love to have you join us!
We also pride ourselves in providing high quality training to interns and limited-licensed clinicians. As a sought-after training location, please contact us well in advance if you are interested in internship opportunities.

Supervision for Interns & Limited Licenses
Finding a clinical supervisor as a Limited Licensed Counselor (previously Limited Licensed Professional Counselor) or Limited Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Michigan can be a difficult process. In order to fulfill the requirements for your full licensure, you need to find a qualified LPC or LMFT to supervise your LLC or LLMFT license until you complete your hours. This supervisory relationship is an amazingly important component in the formation of your professional self and provides needed guidance to feel confident in your skills as a therapist.
What is supervision?
Clinical supervision is a safe and supportive space to process experiences as a new therapist and receive guidance in establishing self-awareness and improved clinical skills. This collaborative process between supervisor and supervisee allows you the opportunity to self-reflect, as well as learn and practice new skills for your personal practice.
The counseling supervision process is a long-term relationship where your supervisor acts as teacher, mentor, and personal cheerleader. The goal of this process is to assist you in creating your own style of therapy, challenge you to grow, and help you become the therapist you are meant to be. Your supervisor will provide you with helpful feedback based on your self-report of work with clients that will increase your confidence, competence, and self-awareness as a counselor.
Supervision will include many of the following benefits to supervisees:
- Consulting regarding client care and treatment planning
- Support your understanding of the impact of personal experiences, personality, and biases on your therapeutic approach
- Crafting your personal identity, style, beliefs, and practices as a counselor
- Introductions and integration of new therapeutic skills you may not have previous experience with through your graduate program or other practical experiences
- Supporting and improving your relationship with clients
- Improving your understanding of professionalism, ethics, and legal/professional standards according to the state of Michigan and your governing ethics code
Who would be my supervisor?
Our therapist supervisors offer unique perspectives as supervisors by integrating their training and experiences in many different styles and modalities of practice to support their supervisees in finding their own approach as a therapist.

How does supervision work?
Individual and group supervision are both available. Supervision is conducted in a weekly, biweekly, or monthly format to match your needs.
Interns working at KTG will receive both individual and group supervision. This allows the opportunity to not only receive guidance, suggestions, and feedback from your supervisor, but also from your peers.
