      Regular Review

      We regularly review clinicians and will periodically add new and review existing clinicians based on client feedback and need

    Our Review Process

    We review all applications carefully. While we welcome qualified applicants from all backgrounds and locations, we prioritize:

    • Internal referrals from trusted colleagues
    • Providers who fill critical need areas:
      • Language capacity (Yiddish, Hebrew, or other community languages)
      • Underserved geographic regions
      • Financial accessibility (accepting Medicaid, Medicare, or insurances that many providers don't take)
      • Specialized clinical skills in high-demand areas

    This prioritization helps us build a directory that truly serves the diverse needs of our community.
