RLC Associate Licensed Clinician

RLC Associate Licensed Clinician Contract

RLC provides mental health outpatient therapy in a private practice setting, utilizing in office and telehealth services. We work with a combination of Medicaid Funded Insurances, Private Insurances and Private Pay. Real Life Counseling provides executive and administrative services to our team of Independent Clinicians. Instead of getting caught up in the distractions of running a business, such as insurance billing or administrative procedures, our counselors focus on what they do best: counseling.

This allows our Clinical team to direct their energy to where it matters most: our clients.

RLC is currently only contracting providers who can provide in person or a mix of both in person & tele-health sessions.
