What we Take care of
-
To get started in a private practice is a risk that requires a huge investment of resources like time and money
Client referrals, building a referral network to be able to stay busy can take a year or more to establish.
Overhead is often bigger than people expect. There are obvious things like renting a space, furnishing it and utilities. However there are often frequent things like office, bathroom and waiting room supplies. There are EHR, phone service, and email expenses. Accountant and biller expenses as well.
Money comes in immediately instead of the lag of your own billing, collection, etc.
-
Billing, waitlist, insurance interactions, bills, facility issues, etc
In private practice you would do about 5-8hrs a week in unpaid admin tasks.
Where We Began…
The roots of Glint trace back to a profound observation: the shortcomings of major mental health organizations. Having worked for two such entities over several years, I witnessed a recurring pattern: the loss of top-tier providers, euphemistically labeled as "turnover." Yet, this turnover was often avoidable. Surprisingly, many departing therapists initially joined with optimism and zeal, traits common in early-career professionals, including myself.
It was disheartening to witness agencies, ostensibly established to enhance mental health and communities, flounder due to burnout, regularly driving away talented therapists. This failure disadvantaged three key stakeholders: the clients, the providers, and the companies striving to facilitate their mutual benefit.
As the concept of Glint took shape, it initially revolved around emulating the model of a private practice. This stemmed from the observation that skilled therapists predominantly gravitated towards such autonomy. If this destination represented the pinnacle of a therapist's career, should it not be the ultimate aspiration?
However, delving deeper, primarily through discussions with practitioners in or aspiring to private practice, unveiled two critical insights. Firstly, practitioners prized private practice for its autonomy and income potential. These principles formed the cornerstone of our company. Practitioners recognized that autonomy flourished in private practice, while external employment often entailed financial concessions. Consequently, in crafting Glint, our paramount goal became maximizing autonomy, granting practitioners control over their schedules, caseloads, treatment modalities, and client care decisions, while striving to ensure fair compensation akin to that attainable in private practice.
Over time, two additional pillars emerged. While autonomy and income are elements we facilitate, the others we endeavor to eliminate are barriers to entry and administrative burdens.
Commencing a private practice entails surmounting numerous barriers, including initial investments in office infrastructure, establishing a clientele base, and navigating the complexities of business management. These endeavors demand substantial time, energy, and financial resources. Additionally, running a private practice involves myriad administrative responsibilities, consuming significant weekly hours.
At Glint, we alleviate these burdens substantially. Upon joining, we furnish practitioners with all requisite resources, from office space to administrative support, thereby liberating them to focus on client care. Looking ahead, our commitment lies in enhancing systems and enriching value for both practitioners and clients, all while safeguarding autonomy and bolstering income potential.
