Position Summary - Help Clinicians Build Successful Private Practices 

At Mindful Support Services, we partner with mental health providers to help them build thriving private practices that meet the needs of clients across multiple states. As an Account Relationship Specialist, you will play a critical role in that journey by serving as the first account manager for new providers as they launch their practices, develop core private practice skills, and build a foundation for long-term success within their 2-year partnership with Mindful. 

 
This role combines provider onboarding, assessment, and project management with responsibility for maintaining partnership standards.

Key Responsibilities

Guide Providers Through Practice Launch 

• Serve as the primary point of contact for providers after initial recruitment, guiding them through onboarding, creating sustainable business plans, validating readiness for partnership, addressing barriers to launch, and ensuring successful progression through key milestones.  

• Coach providers through the transition from clinician to business owner, helping them understand the operational, financial, and professional responsibilities of running a successful private practice. 

• Create sustainable business plans, establish timelines, and monitor progress toward key onboarding milestones. 

• Help providers navigate business setup, credentialing, compliance requirements, documentation expectations, and other practice-readiness activities. 

• Assess readiness, identify barriers and risk factors, and partner with internal stakeholders to determine appropriate next steps. 

Support The Transition into Active Practice 

• Lead weekly post-launch consultations focused on real-time practice challenges, business performance, client retention, scheduling habits, documentation, and sustainable practice growth. 

• Help providers understand and improve key performance indicators, including client matching, client retention, attendance, schedule utilization, marketing, and overall practice sustainability. 

• Use data and provider goals to identify barriers, guide decision-making, and create practical action plans that improve practice health. 

• Help providers develop greater ownership and self-sufficiency as they learn to manage the day-to-day responsibilities of an active private practice.

• Evaluate and work through potential onboarding challenges with providers, helping determine their readiness to take on the operational, financial, and professional responsibilities of business ownership. 

• Build strong provider relationships while maintaining clear expectations, professional boundaries, and accountability for commitments. 

• Identify stalled progress or disengagement, assess root causes, and facilitate direct conversations that help providers re-engage and take action.

Why This Role Is Different 

This role is ideal for professionals who enjoy coordination, relationship management, and driving complex processes forward, but are ready for a broader challenge.

Beyond onboarding, this role supports providers through the critical early stages of practice ownership, helping them build sustainable business habits, understand performance metrics, navigate operational challenges, and develop thriving private practices. 

As an Account Relationship Specialist, you will do more than manage tasks and timelines. You will serve as a key partner in evaluating provider readiness, navigating complex onboarding scenarios, coordinating across multiple departments, and helping providers successfully transition into private practice. 

Success in this role requires strong judgment, problem-solving skills, adaptability, and the ability to influence outcomes in an ever-changing environment. It is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to expand beyond traditional coordination responsibilities and take on a more strategic, high-impact role.
