We are proud to offer our staff the professional support, excellent benefits, and camaraderie of a secure employment experience; alongside true autonomy, complete schedule flexibility, and freedom from micromanagement in how you do your work. Yes, it really is possible to have the best of both worlds, and we’re proving it!

Benefits are available to administrative and therapy staff, who are W2 employees. Our prescribers are independent contractors and are not eligible for our benefits package.
Our Pay (Because, seriously, #PostThePay):
- Therapy Staff
- 55% – 60% W2 commission rate
- This is the SAME as 65% – 70% independent contractor commission rate. (That 10% difference accounts for payroll taxes, payroll fees, worker’s comp, and MNCare taxes you have to pay yourself as an IC.)
- That percentage equals about $61-$67 per session hour for Master’s level providers and $69-$75 per session hour for Doctoral level providers. .
- Prescribing Staff
- 75% – 80% IC commission rate for prescribing staff
- That percentage equals about $289-$308 per session hour.
- And YES, of course we take Medicaid and all the insurance plans, even the lower reimbursing ones. If that doesn’t sit well with you, then we’re not the best fit for you.
