1. Welcome

Welcome to the Private Practice Success Membership!

We’re honored by your interest in joining this professional community. This program is part of Growing Self, LLC’s ongoing mission to create affirming, ethical, and empowering spaces for therapists and coaching professionals to connect, grow, and thrive.

This Agreement (“Agreement”) outlines the mutual rights, responsibilities, and expectations of all participants. It is designed to foster transparency, professionalism, and shared accountability between Growing Self and participating clinicians.

By enrolling, you agree to the following terms and to uphold the highest standards of your profession.


2. Purpose of the Program

The Private Practice Success Membership is an advanced professional membership that combines two components:

  1. The Growth Collective — a professional homebase offering:

    • Ongoing consultation groups (“Homebase Groups”)

    • Continuing education (CE) opportunities

    • A supportive professional community

    • Success coaching and mentorship

    • A dynamic referral and collaboration network

  2. Private Practice Success Services — a premium referral partnership that provides:

    • Direct client bookings (average of 5–10 per month)

    • Targeted client matching based on areas of competency

    • Optional access to administrative and technical support services

Together, these two elements provide both professional support and practical practice-building tools to help licensed clinicians create thriving, sustainable practices.


3. Automatic Enrollment in The Growth Collective

All clinicians who participate in the Private Practice Success Membership are automatically enrolled in The Growth Collective.

Participation in The Growth Collective is required to maintain active standing in the Success Membership.

Members must:

  • Attend at least three (3) Homebase Group sessions during each six-month period.

  • Engage meaningfully in consultation and community activities.

  • Maintain good standing by upholding Growth Collective ethical and professional standards.

If a clinician fails to meet these participation requirements, Growing Self reserves the right to pause or revoke their Private Practice Success Membership.


4. Eligibility Requirements

Participation is limited to fully licensed therapists in good standing who meet the following criteria:

✅ Hold an active professional license to practice psychotherapy or counseling in their state.
✅ Maintain active malpractice insurance coverage (minimum $1M/$3M recommended).
✅ Maintain ethical and legal standing with their professional board(s).
✅ Hold one of the following coaching credentials (if providing coaching services):

  • BCC (Board Certified Coach)

  • ICF (Associate, Professional, or Master Certified Coach)

  • Certified Career Coach designation
    ✅ Actively participate in The Growth Collective’s community and educational programming.
    ✅ Demonstrate professional competence and alignment with the values of Growing Self.

Growing Self reserves the right to verify credentials and discontinue participation if these requirements are not met.

6. Client Referral & Booking Services

Growing Self functions as a marketing and referral platform to help clients connect with qualified clinicians.

We provide client referrals and booking services based on client needs and clinician expertise.

Referral Guidelines

  • Clinicians can expect an average of 5–10 new client consultation bookings per month.

  • Clients book directly into the clinician’s calendar using our scheduling system.

  • Clinicians must keep availability up-to-date and notify our team promptly of any scheduling changes.

  • Once a client is booked, the clinician fully owns that relationship and is responsible for all ongoing communication, documentation, and billing.

Competency Matching

Clients are only referred to clinicians who have demonstrated appropriate expertise or credentialing in the presenting issue (e.g., career coaching, couples counseling, trauma recovery).

The Program and Practice Services Manager reviews clinician credentials and training to ensure accurate and ethical client matching.

Growing Self does not access, store, or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI).


7. Professional Responsibility & Independence

All clinicians in this program are independent practitioners, not employees, contractors, or agents of Growing Self.

Each member agrees to:

  • Maintain appropriate licensure and insurance coverage.

  • Uphold ethical codes of their licensing and credentialing boards.

  • Accurately represent their qualifications and services.

  • Accept full responsibility for client care and professional outcomes.

Growing Self assumes no liability for clinical decisions, client results, or practice management conducted by participating clinicians.


8. Confidentiality & Privacy

Confidentiality and professionalism are core to our values.

All members agree to:

  • Maintain strict confidentiality regarding case discussions and personal disclosures in Homebase groups or CEU events.

  • Avoid sharing identifying client details.

  • Never record, distribute, or reproduce group discussions or materials without written permission.

While Growing Self upholds confidentiality standards, we are not a HIPAA-covered entity. Each clinician remains individually responsible for compliance with HIPAA and other relevant privacy laws.

These add-on services are billed separately and are not part of the standard membership.

Clinicians agree to hold harmless and indemnify Growing Self, LLC, its owners, and employees from any claims, damages, or legal actions arising from their participation or provision of services.
