Service options
-
Discovery/Preparation - No cost - 30 min
In the discovery/preparation phase, prospective consultees can get to know us and obtain education about how to ready their private practice for contingencies. We can provide a structured and collaborative experience so that you emerge with readiness and a sense of confidence that you are practicing ethically.
-
Professional Will and contingency plan development - 2-3 hours @ 220 / hr + GST
By doing the heavy lifting with us, you could save thousands in legal fees. Together we work through everything you would need to bring to your lawyer. You will own the draft document to do with as you please. We will recommend taking it to your lawyer to add to your personal will, as well as several other recommendations.
-
Locum Tenens - your cost varies - temporary clients pay us what they pay you
First, you hire us and we work together to onboard clients who require continuous care. Your clients individually decide if they book with us during your absence. Your clients cover their own fee, which corresponds to whatever they currently pay you now (even if its sliding scale). Upon your return, transition meetings are offered to your clients which they can accept or reject.
-
Transitional Care Provider (Incapacitation) (cost varies)
If you are suddenly incapacitated or unable to practice and you require someone to urgently contact clients and provide continuity of care, we can provide this service by prior agreement. We have a system for rapidly putting this service in place.
-
Long-Term File Custody - cost varies according to need and context
We can be hired to provide stewardship for client files. The Limitations Act lays out an indefinite time period for some client files (ie. those that document serious crimes and some disability diagnoses). We can be hired to satisfy these professional obligations to store and protect client records. This is a service mainly developed for selected solo practitioners who lack the organizational resources to absorb the responsibilities of file custody into the indefinite future.
-
Entrepreneurial consultation - 220 / hr + GST
Vincent, our Lead Psychologist, can be hired to work with you on your business. He has expertise in startups, risk management, small practice digital infrastructure, and business development.
