Licensed Providers

Do you want to work with a company that provides the support of a group, but that takes ZERO profit off the top of your pay? Does going out on your own sound scary but working under oppressive healthcare systems sound worse? It did to me too.

Hi, I’m Kim Lycan, owner of Lycan Counseling, PLLC. I am working to build a cooperative of independent providers across Washington State that steps outside the norms of our current business models. The vision is to build a diverse group that shares common values, is known to have education and experience to meet the needs of clients and can work toward common goals of accessible and affirming wellness services
WITHOUT exuding control over providers. To accomplish this, my practice works to contract with providers of all levels to collaboratively work toward success.

My business operates functionally like a true worker co-op, in that I value and strive to uphold the tenents of a co-op between licensed providers in my group. You can learn more about what makes a co-op and how my business fits in this model here.

Co-ops in healthcare can be a challenge. To bypass some challenges I have worked to develop a different model to provide a cost sharing solution that is better in many ways that other groups. I want to change the narrative in healthcare that we cannot make money together or that we have to give up what we make to get benefits of support and not be alone in the fight against an oppressive system.

Full job description

Note: This is not an opportunity for W2 employment. This is a contract position.

Lycan Counseling Collective is a private practice cooperative group in Washington State operating remotely with providers across the state. Our vision is working to build a community where young people feel their voices matter, where they have access to support to navigate challenging transitions, and where they can build fulfilling lives. We offer a different structure to both associate counselors and fully-licensed providers to operate independently as well as within a group via as close to a co-op model as possible.

Our providers are the owners of their own businesses and contract with the group to offer services under a membership type model. Providers keep 100% of insurance payout and pay a monthly membership fee to the group for overhead services.

We consider a full-time provider about 16+ client hours per week, but we do not stipulate any expectations for client hours.

Must have at least an associate level counseling, or related, license in Washington State

Value a collective mindset in mental health
Want to avoid community mental health
We are currently looking for more providers to join our group. If you’re interested in learning more, please email to sign up for a virtual info-meeting held twice monthly on the first and third Tuesdays at 3pm PST.
