Please forgive my ignorance since I'm not a mental health therapist (maybe an aspiring one? - will discuss privately). Is there a model for therapy/psychology services similar to the direct primary care model for primary care physicians?
I'm unfamiliar how the business model works for therapy since I've only seen a therapist a handful of times in my life and have been through school or the military. Is this a similar practice for therapists already or is there something better in existence? As an example: You have 50 clients that pay you a monthly subscription of $50/month. You can provide them with 1 session every 2 weeks, in addition to whatever else they may need when not at your office. Hopefully this makes sense; of course you can move the numbers in either direction how you see fit.
I'm genuinely interested in your responses. Thank you.

Family physicians can learn about the direct primary care (DPC) model, which provides a meaningful alternative to fee-for-service insurance billing.
