JOIN BRAVE
Practice independently, not alone.
A practice home for therapists in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Brave is an established private practice in downtown Grand Rapids, MI. Clinicians who join Brave run their own caseloads, set their own rates, choose their own clients, and make their own clinical decisions.
What you don't have to build from scratch is everything around the work: the office, the brand, the website, the referral pipeline, the intake process.

More than an office

Brave is a name people recognize here. You don't have to spend years building one of your own.

Our intake coordinator, Becky, handles initial inquiries and routes potential clients to you based on fit.
Thoughtful colleagues nearby

WHO BRAVE WORKS FOR
Maybe you
Brave works well for clinicians who:
Are licensed and ready to see clients independently (LMSW, LPC, LMFT, LP, or equivalent)
Want to run their own practice, but don't want to build a brand and referral pipeline from scratch
Prefer autonomy over their schedule and clinical work, with light-touch infrastructure around them
Are early in private practice or well-established. Both are welcome here.
We don't require a specific theoretical orientation, client population, or fee structure. We do care that you're someone who shows up well for clients and represents Brave with the same care we do.
HOW IT WORKS
Two paths to join brave
PRIMARY PATH
Fee Split
Most Brave clinicians work on a fee split arrangement. You see clients, Brave takes a percentage to cover the office, brand, intake support, and scheduling. You keep the rest.
This is the most common model in Grand Rapids and the simplest way to join Brave with shared risk and shared growth. Specifics are tailored to your situation and discussed during a tour or consultation.
ALSO AVAILABLE
Flat Monthly Rent
Some clinicians prefer the predictability of a flat monthly rate, especially if they have an established caseload and want to keep 100% of their fees.
Flat rent options are available by tier (1 day/week through full-time). Specifics are discussed during a tour or consultation.
SETTLING IN
The commitment
We ask for an initial 6-month commitment. We want our suite to feel settled, not transactional. Six months is enough time to actually get a feel for how the work flows here before deciding what's next.
If you're newly independent and a 6-month commitment feels like a lot, ask us. We're willing to talk about what makes sense.
