For independently licensed clinicians
Practice what you trained for.

THE GAP NOBODY TALKS ABOUT

You were trained to heal. Not to file, form, and figure out.

Graduate school gave you clinical skills. Years of supervised practice made you a competent, caring clinician. What it didn’t give you is any preparation for the business of private practice.

So when you’re ready to go independent — to do the work you want to do, with the clients you want to serve, on your terms — you hit a wall. Not a clinical wall. A bureaucratic one.

Caret Care is the structure that removes that wall.

📋
Business formation confusion
LLC? PLLC? Sole proprietor? Nobody taught you this — and the answer actually matters.
🏛️
Compliance overwhelm
HIPAA, NPPs, Good Faith Estimates — clinical requirements stack on top of business ones fast.
💸
Fee-setting paralysis
You know what you're worth. You don't know what to charge. There's a right way to figure that out.
🧩
No clear sequence
Everything feels urgent and nothing has a clear order. You need a map, not more information.
Therapists deserve the freedom to practice. Not the burden of figuring out everything that comes before it.

Caret Care exists to give independently licensed clinicians the structure, tools, and confidence to build their practice so they can get to the work they’re actually meant to do.

Resources & links

This is your resource panel. When a step requires you to visit a government website, download a template, access a form, or explore a recommended tool or service, you’ll find it here.

On steps where nothing is needed, this panel stays quiet. When it matters, you’ll be directed here from within the step itself, so there’s no need to check it unless you’ve been pointed this way.

Come back here any time you need to revisit a link or re-download something from a completed step.

Close this panel when you’re ready to continue.
