Reduce the stress of running a mental health practice by joining Atomic Behavioral
I know how much stress you’re under because I have been there myself. It can be a lot of pressure to find clients, organize your finances, figure out a schedule that works for you, and deal with the difficult challenge of finding and maintaining balance.
With my help, and backed by my strong Atomic team, you’ll be able to easily find and take on new clients, keep the schedule you want, leave the insurance and billing to us, and grow your practice all while maintaining total individual ownership and autonomy in your practice.
Take a look at all the benefits of working with us:
01
Expert Business Training and Mentorship
For over 20 years I have helped providers around the globe start, develop, and manage successful clinical practices, all while teaching graduate students, training businesses, writing and working with clients in my own practice. By signing up with Atomic, you are getting the unique opportunity to work directly and personally with me as I guide you step by step through the rigorous and often challenging process of creating a successful practice. Unlike group practices that provide digital tools and tutorials at best, you and I will work together to customize your practice the way you want it, while utilizing credentialing, billing, and referral systems through our partners. The business coaching you receive throughout your time with Atomic is highly specialized, backed by reputable advisory experts, and customized to fit your business development needs, putting you on the fast track to practice success.
02
Strong Ethical Clinical Case and Practice Consultation
Atomic offers something that no other service of its kind offers. We provide expert case consultation support to your practice when needed. Our clinical consultation team has nearly 100 years of combined clinical experience, including an advisor who served on the state regulatory board. You will have access to help with situations that come up and might be new for you as a clinician or perhaps need expert advice to make sure you are making a good ethically minded clinical decision. Regardless of the reason for a consult, we’re here when you need us. You will be able to participate in one to one consultation when needed, including the ability to quickly access our on-call consultant as well as participating in group consultation regularly. Consultation is meant to further help you grow clinically, while protecting your business and reducing liability.
03
Client Access, Referral and Accuracy
When you become an Atomic Community Provider, you gain access to streamlined referrals through our two major referral partnerships and become part of a closely collaborative community that includes health agencies, physicians, and local therapists. Our partners actively market for suitable referrals on your behalf, reducing the need for you to actively seek clients. Being part of Atomic simplifies the process of finding and accepting referrals, making scheduling seamless. These partner organizations match potential clients with your areas of expertise, allowing you to assess and determine the best fit for your practice. You retain control over your calendar, setting your own availability and boundaries regarding when and how you see clients.
04
Financial Organization, Management and Growth
Providers often fear working with money, including setting up and managing day to day financials, creating reasonable and customary fees, and actually collecting money from clients. You’ll need help with all these areas along with banking, tax appropriation, legal structure, and how to further grow the money you earn. I wrote the book on practice success (Private Practice Essentials, 2017) and will personally teach you my trademarked recipe for liability protection, financial organization and management, and growing your wealth, all while maintaining a strong clinically minded and ethical practice.
05
Working with Insurance Companies
When partnering with our team, you’ll be able to speed up the credentialing process. We partner with two major groups who have streamlined processes for expedited credentialing that independent practitioners alone do not receive. The insurance companies we work with credential independent therapists faster when they see that they’re working with experienced advisors and many other talented and dedicated mental health professionals. Get your credentials approved and become paneled with strong insurance companies thanks to our expert team. Paneled clinicians will be in network with numerous major insurers, giving you the ability to provide services to clients of varying age, socio-economic, and cultural backgrounds. You will also be able to offer a private pay option as well for those who don’t carry these insurance plans. And, Atomic reduces administrative hassles by taking care of billing insurers on your behalf.
06
Get Paid on Time
If you want to make sure you get paid every month without fail, then working with Atomic is the answer. With our help, you’ll get paid one reasonable and competitive rate for every billable hour of your time. Atomic will even pay for your billing costs and additional built in administrative expenses, so you don’t have to pay for them separately or hassle with extra work. Most important, when you work with Atomic you get paid on time for all client contact work regardless of internal billing hold ups, claims reprocessing or non-payment by insurance companies.
07
Personal Wellness coaching
Let Atomic provide you with personalized individual and group wellness coaching throughout your journey to help you remain well balanced, compassion managed, and free of burnout. This is not personal therapy, nor is it meant to be clinical supervision. This type of coaching stems from more than 15 years of expertise training helping professionals on wellness topics in a variety of settings, including university medical centers, large hospitals, human service agencies, schools, clinics, and other care-related agencies around the country.
08
Obtain professional development hours (PDH)
In order to maintain licensure, clinicians typically need to complete a certain number of continuing education hours within a specified timeframe. Some of these hours can be fulfilled through mentoring relationships, and various activities like business training, clinical case consultation, and wellness coaching can count towards these requirements. Group meetings focused on relevant topics may also qualify for credit. Atomic will verify attendance for applicable hours, as permitted within state regulations. Please note that specific requirements may vary by state and could affect eligibility for these benefits
