That's how you get better care.
Most group practices treat clinicians as capacity to be filled. Burnout follows, therapists leave, and clients start over with someone new. We built BIPS the other way around — because the quality of your therapy depends on the condition your therapist is in.
We invest in our clinicians
Supervision by licensed clinical psychologists, funded training, real case consultation, sustainable caseloads, and profits reinvested in staff welfare rather than extracted.
They stay, and they go deeper
Supported therapists build real specialties instead of burning out in two years. The industry calls this career sustainability. We call it the reason your therapist is still here in year five, when the work gets to the part that matters.
You get the benefit
Long-term therapeutic relationships with clinicians who know their material, aren't watching the clock, and can hold the whole picture of your life.
Room to be yourself
You shouldn't have to translate your life before you can use your session — and you shouldn't have to flatten yourself to work here. Our clinicians bring their actual identities, politics, humor, and lived experience into the room. That's not a lapse in professionalism. It's most of what makes therapy work.
Support across the whole arc
Careers have phases — licensure, first full caseload, specialization, new parenthood, the year everything outside work goes sideways. Benefits continue through parental leave. We plan for these seasons instead of pretending they don't happen, because a therapist who is held through their own is still here for yours.
Mentorship, not just oversight
Early-career clinicians get roughly eight hours of supervision a month — weekly individual plus group — with licensed clinical psychologists. Fully licensed staff choose their own supervision and consultation beyond their training years. Every clinician has $1,500 a year for continuing education and specialization.
Therapy should be reachable
Cost should not be the thing that decides whether you get care. We have a financial hardship application for a steep sliding scale, and when we set a fee we look at your income alongside your story and what you're carrying right now. Ask. We will work with you.
Your privacy is not negotiable
We don't sell data, feed algorithms, or route your clinical information through third-party platforms built to monetize attention. What you say stays between you and your therapist, under HIPAA, with the limited legal exceptions your therapist reviews with you upfront.
We handle the hard part of billing
A dedicated billing team runs benefits verification, claims, superbills, Good Faith Estimates, and the reconciliation that insurance always creates. Clients aren't left on hold with insurers. Therapists collect the copay and nothing more complicated than that.
A practice can't offer clients something it doesn't offer its own people.

Anti-racist. Affirming.
For everyone.
We stand firm in our commitment to anti-racist, anti-oppressive, gender- and sexuality-affirming therapy. We recognize the harmful impacts of systemic racism, homophobia, and oppression on individuals, families, and communities.
Our therapists are trained to explore the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, and other social identities — creating a space where you don't have to explain your life before you can start using your session.
Queer & trans affirming
Every BIPS clinician is trained in LGBTQIA+ affirming care. Our Gender Care Program provides specialized support for trans and gender-diverse clients.
Neurodivergent affirming
We welcome and specialize in ADHD, autistic traits, and other forms of neurodivergence — without pathologizing difference.
Sex-positive
We support diverse relationship structures, sexual identities, and intimacy concerns in a shame-free, nonjudgmental environment.
Anti-racist practice
Ongoing education and self-reflection to confront implicit bias and challenge the narratives that keep inequality in place.
Real humans, for years to come.
Whether you're looking for a therapist or looking to become a better one — start with a conversation.
