Careers

Like private practice but without the headache.

You got licensed to do the clinical work — not to chase authorizations, bill insurance, or hope a full caseload shows up. Supportive Care gives clinicians the autonomy and full caseload of private practice, without the billing, the no-shows, or the isolation of doing it alone.

Sound familiar?

The paperwork outweighs the work.
You spend a real share of your week on documentation, billing, and credentialing that has nothing to do with patient care — the part of the job you'd hand off in a heartbeat if you could.
You're doing it alone.
No colleagues to consult, no one to review a case with, no one to debrief a hard session. The work is demanding enough without carrying all of it by yourself.
Your income depends on who shows up.
A no-show is unpaid time. A slow week is a smaller check. Building a full, steady caseload from scratch takes years, and the calendar isn't something you control.
The economics keep tightening.
Reimbursement rates have stalled while the work stays just as hard. Doing the same job for less each year is wearying.
WHY SUPPORTIVE CARE

The work you trained for. Without the paperwork it came along with.

A caseload that's already there

You arrive to a full schedule of residents in the building. No marketing, no panel-building, no waiting months for a practice to fill in. The clinical work starts on day one.

Pay that doesn't hinge on who shows up

Clinicians are paid on a reliable bi-weekly cadence, decoupled from individual session attendance and insurance reimbursement timing. A resident out at an appointment doesn't cost you the hour — you see someone else.

No admin headache

The billing, authorizations, and credentialing aren't yours to chase. The back office handles insurance, prior authorizations, and panel credentialing. You focus on clinical work instead of paperwork.

Support from day one

Every new clinician is given hands-on orientation, shadows experienced providers into their first buildings, and has a regional director on call from day one. The setting has a rhythm that you can catch onto — and you're walked into it, not dropped into it.

A team behind you

Peer providers in the same network to consult with. A regional director on call at all times. A compliance team reviewing documentation so issues get caught before they become your problem. The isolation of solo work is replaced with a real team.

Work that actually matters

Older adults in long-term care are one of the most underserved populations in behavioral health — often isolated, often seeing you as their only visitor. The clinical need is real, the relationships are real, the impact is real.

Who thrives here?

The private-practice clinician who wants the work without the overhead

You already run your own practice a day or two a week.

You want steady, predictable clinical work to fill the open days in your schedule — a full caseload and reliable pay, without adding to your admin load

The full-time clinician drawn to this population

You're pulled toward older adults and long-term care — maybe from a background in social work, nursing or geriatrics. Or from a beautiful relationship with a loved one.

You want to do this work full-time, across buildings, with the stability and support to stay for the long haul.

The early-career clinician exploring the setting

You're recently licensed and looking for an environment that sets you up for success.

Orientation, shadowing, a regional director to call, and peers to consult with mean you can operate with confidence in a setting you haven't worked in before.

Questions clinicians ask

Will I make less than I would in private practice?

Per session, possibly. Per hour actually worked, usually not. Private-practice income looks higher on a session-by-session basis, but that math changes once you account for cancellations, no-shows, unpaid administrative hours, and credentialing time. The Supportive Care model trades a higher per-session rate for a full caseload, predictable bi-weekly pay, and no administrative overhead.

What if I don't have nursing home experience?

Most of our clinicians didn't when they started. Every new clinician moves through structured orientation, shadows experienced providers into their first buildings, and has a regional director on call from day one. The long-term care setting has its own rhythm, but it's learnable — and you're walked into it, not left to figure it out alone.

Am I going to be a 1099 contractor with no support?

The role is structured as independent contractor, but the day-to-day doesn't feel like working alone. You have a clinical home, a regional director, peer providers to consult with, orientation into every new building, and a compliance team reviewing documentation. The structure is independent contractor. The experience is closer to being part of a team.

Is the work clinically meaningful, or is it mostly billing?

The work is clinical. Older adults in long-term care are one of the most underserved populations in behavioral health — often isolated, and often seeing you as their only mental health visit. The clinical need is real, the relationships are real, and many clinicians stay for years specifically because of the impact.

What does compliance auditing actually mean for me?

It means the documentation review happens with you, not to you. An internal and external compliance team reviews notes and coding on an ongoing basis and keeps clinicians current on state and federal CMS regulations — so issues get caught early and your documentation holds up, without you carrying that burden alone. Clinicians here describe the support as thorough without micromanaging.

What happens if it isn't the right fit?

You're not locked in. The role is built so clinicians can scale up, scale back, or step away without penalty. The clearest sign of our confidence in the work is that we don't ask clinicians to commit to it before they've experienced it.
