Michigan Counselor & Therapist Insurance

The work you do carries real professional risk — a single client complaint or board inquiry can threaten your license and livelihood. Michigan counselor and therapist insurance protects you with professional liability built for mental-health practitioners, plus the general liability your practice needs.

Common questions

Do counselors and therapists need malpractice insurance in Michigan?

It's strongly recommended and often required — by employers, group practices, insurance panels, and some licensing situations. Professional liability defends and pays claims that your counseling caused harm, including the cost of defending a board complaint even when you've done nothing wrong.

What's the difference between professional and general liability for a therapist?

Professional liability (malpractice) covers claims tied to your clinical work and advice. General liability covers physical risks at your office, like a client slipping in the waiting room. Most practitioners need both — one won't respond to the other's claims.

Does counselor insurance cover telehealth?

Yes, when written for it. As remote sessions have become standard, professional liability policies for counselors generally extend to telehealth — but the terms vary, so we confirm your virtual work is covered.

How much does counselor or therapist insurance cost in Michigan?

Professional liability for a solo counselor is often very affordable — frequently a few hundred dollars a year — with group practices priced on size and services. We shop carriers that specialize in mental-health providers to find your best rate.
