Find answers to common questions about our clinical consulting services, care navigation process, and how we partner with families and referring professionals.
Services & Scope of Practice
What is VIP Therapeutic Consulting?
VIP Therapeutic Consulting is an independent, clinician-led consulting and care navigation firm. We guide individuals, families, and referring care teams through complex behavioral health, substance use, and educational decisions by providing objective clinical evaluations, program vetting, and level-of-care coordination.
Do you provide direct therapy or emergency crisis services?
No. We do not operate as an outpatient therapy practice, nor do we provide 24/7 crisis intervention or emergency medical services. Our role is strictly advisory, diagnostic synthesis, program matching, and care navigation. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
What is the difference between Urgent Care Navigation and General Consulting?
General Therapeutic and Educational Consulting is designed for families seeking proactive, thorough planning for outpatient care, school placements, or step-down transitions. Urgent Care Navigation is a rapid-response service for time-sensitive gaps in care, sudden hospital discharges, or immediate acute placement needs.
Our Process & Alignment
How do you work with existing treating clinicians?
We view existing therapists, psychiatrists, and medical teams as essential partners. With client consent, we collaborate directly with your treatment team to review clinical histories, align on placement goals, and ensure a seamless handoff without disrupting established therapeutic relationships.
How are therapeutic programs and providers vetted?
We maintain strict independence. We do not accept referral fees or financial compensation from treatment facilities or programs. Our recommendations are based entirely on objective clinical suitability, credentialing, program track record, safety standards, and current availability.
