- Proper documentation and note-keeping
- The philosophy behind psychotherapy
Business Skills, Money & Entrepreneurship

- Dealing with insurance companies (both in-network, out-of-network and how to negotiate single case agreements)
- Finding your professional niche
- Billing clients and insurance
- Accounting and business record-keeping
- Understanding legal and liability issues in business

The benefits of working with CAASS
- Personal and clinical freedom for independent practitioners (eg. LPCCs, LISWs, IMFTs, Psychologists, Psychiatrists) while having clinical support and business consultation
- Make your own schedule
- Pay ranges between 60-90% of all revenue you receive (depending on how much of the business side of the practice you want to take on and client volume). Hourly rates and salary may be discussed if desired.
- Work as little or as much as you want (no productivity expectations outside of revenue needed to keep the overhead going, which can be discussed at the time of interview)
- Referrals from CAASS
- Deal with insurance only if you want to build a cash practice…your choice
- You may be able to work for other companies/practices
- Support and career development from CAASS leadership
- Association with an established mental health practice
- CAASS can provide work supervision (and therefore allow some insurance billing) for many mental health providers who are not yet fully licensed including licensed professional counselors (LPC), social workers (LSW), and marriage and family therapists (MFT)
- CAASS may also be willing to assist professional partners to start and advance professional/practice identities outside of CAASS if those endeavors complement the services at CAASS
Personal & Professional Attributes That CAASS Looks For
- Providers who want to work independently but want to have contact and consultation with other providers
- Providers with great intelligence and/or have the skills to work with people of great intelligence

- Providers who are not afraid to be controversial
- Providers who take risks (within ethical boundaries)
- Providers who are interested in the philosophical and dialectical nature of psychotherapy
