A 60-day program with a real human coordinator, not an app, working alongside your therapist — assembling your health team, making the referral calls, tracking your care plan. You do not have to be a BIPS therapy client to use it.

Special Topics group

A recurring clinician group led by Zach Sapolsky, PhD — focused study and discussion of a different clinical topic each cycle. Frequently open to the public by RSVP, not only to BIPS staff.

Outside clinicians welcome

Special Topics →

Practice consultation

For clinicians going independent: structure, fee-setting, insurance panels, boundaries, and the business side nobody taught you in graduate school.

Building your own practice

Practice consultation →

Referral network

When we are not the right fit we say so, and we keep a network of providers we trust. Clinicians outside the practice are welcome to refer in, or ask us for a name.
