Why a fellowship instead of a job

Most associates pay $100 to $150 an hour for supervision and spend their first year hunting for clients. Converge flips that. Supervision is included, the calendar is filled from the practice's intake and from reduced-fee community slots, and your sessions are documented and billed through the practice so your hours are clean and countable.

Supervision included

One hour of individual supervision for every 40 hours of practice, plus a two-hour monthly group by video. Supervisors are board-qualified: an LCMHCS for counseling associates and a qualified LCSW supervisor for social work associates. Supervision contracts are filed with your board before your first session.

Clients supplied

Reduced-fee telehealth clients from the practice's community program, Medicaid clients once your enrollment is active, and program placements for social work associates. Target: 12 sessions a week by month three, 20 by month six.

Paid as you go

A share of what your sessions collect, paid monthly, with supervision included at no cost. Details in the fellowship agreement.

A path after licensure

On full licensure, fellows move onto the practice's insurance panels as contract clinicians at the standard contractor share, with a path to leadership for those who open a service line or a new state.

Converge does not bill an associate's sessions under a supervisor's name. Every session is billed under your own enrollment, charged as a reduced fee, or funded by a program that pays for the position.
