1. Purpose and Mission
Curated Therapy Collective, LLC ("CTC") is a membership-based community of independently practicing, licensed mental health professionals committed to ethical practice, collaboration, and clinical excellence. Membership provides professional visibility, referral opportunities, and access to a supportive community of like-minded clinicians.
CTC is not a group practice or employer and does not provide supervision, therapy, or clinical direction. Founded by a licensed clinician, CTC aims to elevate the quality and integrity of private practice through meaningful professional connection and collaboration.
2. Nature of the Relationship
CTC operates as a professional network, not a clinical entity. Clinicians remain independent practitioners responsible for their own clients, records, billing, licensure, and clinical decisions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between the parties.
Clinicians have sole discretion and control over the nature, scope, and manner of their professional services and must comply with all applicable laws and ethical standards (NASW, APA, ACA, or equivalent).
3. Membership Requirements
By joining CTC, members agree to:
- Maintain active professional licensure and professional liability insurance.
- Abide by all ethical standards and applicable laws.
- Keep their CTC profile current and accurate.
- Engage respectfully and professionally with CTC staff and fellow CTC clinician members.
Members must notify CTC of any changes to licensure, insurance, or contact information within 30 days.
4. Referrals and Visibility
CTC facilitates clinician-curated referrals based on client needs, specialty, and availability. Inclusion in CTC does not guarantee referrals or client volume. CTC's role is to facilitate ethical, meaningful connections, not to assign clients.
Clinicians are expected to respond to referral inquiries within 2 business days.
5. Confidentiality and Privacy
All client information received through CTC referrals must be treated as confidential under HIPAA and applicable professional standards. Clinicians agree not to share or disclose referral details to unauthorized individuals and must ensure that all communications occur through secure, compliant platforms.
6. Ethical Alignment
Members agree to uphold:
- Clinical integrity, practicing within their scope of competence.
- Informed consent and transparency with all clients.
- Cultural sensitivity and inclusivity.
- Professional boundaries and avoidance of conflicts of interest.
- A spirit of collaboration and mutual support within the professional community.
7. Membership Fees and Billing
All memberships require a minimum 12-month commitment. Membership fees are billed monthly or annually based on the selected tier and at the agreed-upon rate outlined during onboarding. All memberships are non-refundable.
Members authorize CTC to process recurring payments through its secure billing system unless canceled in accordance with Section 8. Members may cancel membership by providing 30 days' written notice via email to hello@curatedtherapycollective.com after completing the 12-month minimum term.
Membership fees cover network access, visibility, and community benefits. Fees are not payments for referrals or shared clinical revenue.
8. Cancellation and Termination
12-Month Minimum Commitment: All memberships require a minimum 12-month commitment from the date of enrollment. Early termination during the initial 12-month period is not permitted except as outlined below.
CTC may suspend or terminate membership if a clinician:
- Violates this Membership Agreement or applicable ethical standards.
- Fails to maintain active licensure or professional liability insurance.
- Engages in conduct that undermines the integrity or reputation of the Collective.
After completing the 12-month minimum term, clinicians may cancel membership with 30 days' written notice. Upon termination, all access to member resources, directories, and visibility will end.
Membership Deactivation: If you deactivate your paid membership, your account will automatically move to our Community Level. You will remain part of Curated Therapy Collective's professional community, but will no longer receive curated referrals or paid-tier benefits.
9. Communication and Intellectual Property
All CTC materials, branding, and content are proprietary to CTC. Members may use such materials only to indicate membership and may not modify or distribute them without permission.
Upon suspension or termination, members must remove all CTC badges and marks from websites, directories, and marketing materials.
10. Limitation of Liability
CTC is not responsible for the outcomes of services provided by independent members and does not mediate or assume responsibility for disputes between members or with clients.
In no event shall CTC's total liability exceed the membership fees paid by the Clinician during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
11. Governing Law and Amendments
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. The parties agree to first attempt resolution through mediation in Palm Beach County, Florida.
CTC reserves the right to amend this Agreement or its policies with thirty (30) days' written notice. Continued participation constitutes acceptance of any such amendments.
12. Miscellaneous
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior representations, discussions, or agreements relating to its subject matter.
