Our Services

Building a career as a mental health provider isn’t a simple process. There are a lot of extremely challenging jobs in this profession that lead us down the path of burnout. I know. I’ve worked some of those jobs. When I finally started my private practice, I was disappointed not to have made the choice earlier. There simply is no better career option in this field. Whether personally, professionally or financially, private practice is the best opportunity available. Honest Psychotherapy is here to help you build the practice you want.

Honest Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to be your own boss and to bill insurance before achieving full licensure. Under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Tansey, you will see the clients you want to work with, practice the type of therapy you believe in, and build a profitable business.

Clinical Supervision

Under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Tansey LCMHC, you will have the opportunity to build the clinical skills and self-confidence to effectively work with your clients. Dr. Tansey can help you develop your clinical skills in a wide range of therapeutic modalities. The model he employs, Constructive Clinical Supervision, is designed to put you in the expert chair and give you space to work towards being the clinician you want to become.

Billing Supervision

As a pre-licensed clinician, billing insurance companies requires working under the supervision of a qualified supervisor. By hiring Honest Psychotherapy, you are signing up to accept insurance payments and work under the license of Dr. Matthew Tansey, LCMHC. This unlocks the private practice world to you as a clinician and allows you to fill your caseload.

Business Consultation

Starting your own private practice is full of all sorts difficulties and learning opportunities. Honest Psychotherapy serves as a guide as you begin this process. We offer extensive experience and expertise in the business of private practice. Whether you are just starting up, or looking to strategize on how to make things better, Honest Psychotherapy can help.

How it works.

Honest Psychotherapy offers two types of supervision arrangement.

For pre-licensed clinicians, we offer a package of billing supervision and clinical supervision services. This combination allows you to start your private practice, bill insurance, and work towards licensure. Business consultation services are included in this package free of charge.

For licensed clinicians and those clinicians seeking additional clinical support, we offer clinical supervision as a stand-alone service.

Why choose this path?

At the beginning of your career as a therapist, there are all sorts of options to consider. Hiring a supervisor and starting your own business is one of them. I would argue it is the best path and I wish I had done it sooner in my journey. Private practice allows you to make your own schedule, work with the clients you want, and make a good salary right out of the gate. Many of the other options out there do not allow for these things. So while hiring a supervisor is a financial commitment, it opens the door to many of the best perks this career has to offer.

The Finances

  • Clinical supervision services are billed at a rate of $150 p/hour. The frequency of supervision meetings is determined by your needs in addition to the regulations of the state where the clinician practices.

  • Billing supervision is billed on a monthly basis. It includes two separate fees: the supervision fee and the software fee. The supervision fee is $550 per month. The software fee is $75 per month. In order to facilitate billing supervision, supervisees would need to use a specific software package that ensures oversight for the supervisor.

  • Consulting services for therapists in private practice are offered as packages of either two or 4 meetings depending on your needs. These services are billed at $200 per hour. Additionally, for supplemental work outside of consultation meetings, further fees may be negotiated. These services are included for free for clinicians signed up for billing supervision services.
