The Clinician Advocate exists because clinicians are too often left out of the conversations that shape their working lives - pay structures, caseload expectations, productivity targets, and the policies that determine whether this profession is sustainable for the long haul.

We bring clinicians together to share what's actually happening in practice, push for fair compensation, and build a behavioral healthcare system that works for the people doing the work - not just the organizations employing them.

Who This Is For

Therapists, counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, psychiatric PAs, Psychiatrists, and other behavioral health clinicians who want clearer visibility into compensation trends, working conditions, and the advocacy efforts that affect their careers.

How We Communicate

Just hit reply. Every issue of The Clinician Advocate comes straight from a real inbox, not a no-reply address - when you reply, it lands directly with us.

  • Share what you're seeing - compensation numbers, caseload policies, anything that's affecting clinicians where you work.

  • Ask questions - about advocacy efforts, data we've published, or what to do next.

  • Tell us what to cover - your replies shape upcoming issues.

    We read every reply. It's the simplest way to stay connected, and it's how this newsletter gets better.

Subscribe to get the newsletter, and reply anytime with what you're seeing in your own practice. The more clinicians who weigh in, the stronger the case we can make.

Introducing the Behavioral Health Reimbursement Index

Hey, it's Allen.I just launched something I've wanted to build for years: The Behavioral Health Reimbursement Index — a clinician-sourced database that will publish insurer scorecards by CPT code and state, and a county-level map connecting low pay to poor access. Built the way KFF and the Leapfrog Group build theirs: real data, not vibes.
