For therapists · Not a marketplace. A workspace.

Do the workyou trained for.

Too many people wait until it costs them. When they're ready for licensed care, we want a therapist who gets it waiting on the other side. Apply to see clients on STAYVEN+.

Why STAYVEN+

Why therapists join.

Your revenue

You keep what you charge.

STAYVEN never takes a cut of your sessions. Free during founding, then one flat monthly fee for the workspace, announced well before it starts.

Referrals

People who are ready.

Coaches and listeners hand someone over once they agree to it, with a summary they approved. You choose who you accept.

One place

Everything in your portal.

Transfers, handoff notes and your clients live inside STAYVEN+. Nothing to install and nothing to download.

Your judgment

Independent, not managed.

You set your hours and decide who's a fit. STAYVEN handles the platform so you can focus on the session.

Client transfers

STAYVEN coaches and listeners can hand someone to a therapist once that person approves. Requests wait in a queue only therapists see; you choose which to accept.

In your own words. This is also how we see your writing. 150 to 2,000 characters.

Please don't include any client information.

Questions

Good to know.

Does it cost anything?

Not during our founding period. After that, STAYVEN+ is one flat monthly fee for the workspace. We'll share the price well before it starts, and you decide then.

Am I a STAYVEN employee?

No. You work as an independent provider and use your own clinical judgment. STAYVEN gives you the workspace and the referrals.

Where do clients come from?

STAYVEN coaches and listeners hand someone over when they need licensed care, after that person approves. You see the request in a queue and choose whether to accept it. We can't promise a number of clients.

What are emergency transfers?

Transfers a coach or listener marks as urgent. They also alert STAYVEN's safety team. Only therapists with 2+ years fully licensed who opt in see them. STAYVEN isn't a crisis service: anyone in immediate danger is directed to 988 or 911.

I'm licensed in another state.

We're starting in Maryland. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when we open in your state.

Do you need my documents?

No uploads. We look up your license with the Maryland board and your NPI in the national registry. We may ask about your malpractice policy on the call.
