Curated Connections
Join a Community That Refers, Supports, and Collaborates
Curated Therapy Collective is more than a directory. It's a community of private-practice clinicians who believe independent practice shouldn't mean going it alone.
Getting Started
How Onboarding Works
At CTC, every referral is more than a name on a list. It's a relationship built on trust, professionalism, and clinical fit. Our process is designed to connect each client with a clinician who actually makes sense for them.
Apply
Complete a brief application sharing your background, licensure, and clinical focus. We're looking for clinicians who maintain private-pay practices and share our commitment to thoughtful care.
Connect
Every prospective member has a short conversation with our team. We want to understand your ideal client, your clinical approach, and what you're looking for in a referral network.
Join
If it's a mutual fit, you'll create your profile and become part of the collective. Your profile helps clients and referral partners understand who you are and how you work.
Receive Introductions
Clients find you through the directory or through our concierge process, where a clinician reviews each inquiry and makes introductions based on fit, not algorithms.
Curated Connections
For Clinicians Who Value Connection, Collaboration, and Clinical Excellence
When you join CTC, you become part of a collective that prioritizes both the client experience and clinician support.
Referrals That Respect Your Time
Every introduction is reviewed by a clinician. You receive clients who are ready to engage, not tire-kickers.
Practice on Your Terms
Set your own fees, define your ideal client, and maintain full autonomy over your caseload.
Collegial Community
Connect with peers who understand the work, for consultation, collaboration, or simply to feel less alone in private practice.
Standards That Matter
We vet every member for licensure and ethics. You're joining a collective that takes professionalism seriously.
CTC creates connections at every level, from clients who fit your expertise to colleagues who understand the work.

How the Curated Referral Process Works
At Curated Therapy Collective, our referral process is designed to be personal, relational, and clinically informed, never algorithmic. Each connection begins with understanding, not automation.
Client Schedules Consultation
Client books a consultation with our team to discuss their therapy needs and preferences.
Client Prepares (Optional)
Client completes an optional questionnaire to clarify their goals and what they're looking for in a therapist.
Licensed Clinician Consultation
A licensed CTC clinician has a warm, conversational review of the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
Personalized Connection
Our licensed team curates personalized recommendations. Every match is reviewed by a licensed professional—no algorithms.
Continued Support
Client receives direct contact with matched therapist and ongoing support. If the first connection doesn't feel right, we continue working until they find the right fit.
Client Shares Feedback
Client shares feedback about their experience to help us improve and ensure we're providing the best possible care.
