  • Maintain a Direct Clinical Caseload: Actively generate revenue and maintain your clinical expertise by carrying a specialized caseload of 10 to 15 direct contact hours per week.

  • Staff Mentorship & QA: Utilize your remaining hours to conduct weekly clinical supervision, review session footage, and audit documentation to ensure compliance.

  • Operational Leadership: Embody our "Owner's Mentality" and champion our "Empty-Handed" rule for environmental stewardship.
