Frequently Asked Questions
An Alkeme Certified Therapist is a licensed professional who is a part of Alkeme’s medical group either as an independent contractor or as a part-time or full-time employee. Are part of their joining our medical group, they undergo a more rigorous vetting process, which includes:
- Background checks to ensure a safe and trustworthy provider network.
- License verification to confirm their credentials and active standing.
- Provider practice management support to help them deliver high-quality, culturally relevant care.
These additional steps allow us to confidently vouch for the qualifications and professionalism of Alkeme Certified therapists. Therapists who are NOT designated as Alkeme Certified are NOT a part of Alkeme’s medical group. In order for Alkeme to provide access to a broad network of therapists we list therapists who are outside of our medical group. These non-certified therapists are still licensed professionals but they have not undergone Alkeme’s additional screening and support services. Licensed therapists who want to become Alkeme Certified can apply online or email us at providers@alkemehealth.com. The process includes multiple criminal and medical background checks, license verification, and agreement to Alkeme’s practice management services. This is only available to therapists licensed in states where Alkeme has an active medical group.
Therapists can join the Alkeme Network for $25/month or $250/annual, gaining directory access and marketing support to attract clients. In states where Alkeme is licensed, we offer practice management support at no additional monthly/annual fee, handling insurance, billing, and admin tasks so therapists can focus on care.
