Partnering with Lit Path
What we ask of our providers.
Our goal is to keep the scholarship process simple for you and the people we serve. A few shared responsibilities help us keep everything running smoothly.
Keep your profile up to date
Keep your credentials, specialties, location, virtual availability, and contact information current so individuals using our directory have accurate information. Your public profile includes only the professional information you choose to share.
Keep your credentials current
Maintain any licenses, certifications, and professional coverage required for your practice, and let us know if anything changes.
Be clear about your rates
Scholarship recipients are responsible for the portion of your fee not covered by Lit Path. Clear, up-to-date rates help everyone understand their financial responsibility before care begins.
Keep us informed
Let us know about changes that may affect a recipient’s scholarship, including if they discontinue services, so we can keep scholarship records and funding accurate.
Help make continued care possible
Have a client who could use financial support?
If someone you’re already working with is facing a financial barrier to care, a Lit Path scholarship may be able to help. You can apply to become a participating provider, and your client can apply for a scholarship.
Provider FAQs
Questions about becoming a participating provider?
We want you to feel confident about how the Lit Path program works before you join. Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often from therapists and coaches.
Do I need to lower my rate to participate?
No. You maintain your regular session rate. Lit Path contributes $65 per session for up to 16 sessions through a standard scholarship, and the client is responsible for the remaining balance.
How does Lit Path pay me?
Lit Path pays scholarship funds directly to participating providers rather than to scholarship recipients. Once you are working with an approved and funded recipient, we’ll provide the information you need for submitting sessions and receiving payment.
Is there a cost to become a participating provider?
There is a one-time $40 application and vetting fee. After that, there is no ongoing fee to remain a participating provider or to offer Lit Path scholarships to eligible clients.
Can my existing clients apply for a Lit Path scholarship?
Yes! In fact, many providers join Lit Path because someone they are already working with needs financial assistance. Your client can apply for a scholarship, and you can apply to become a participating provider.
Does Lit Path send clients to me?
Your profile can be included in our public provider directory, where individuals can search for therapists and coaches based on their needs. However, Lit Path does not assign clients to providers or guarantee referrals.
Does Lit Path determine who I can work with or how I provide care?
No. You remain an independent provider and decide which clients you accept, your rates, availability, and the services you provide within your professional scope. Lit Path’s role is to provide financial assistance and administer the scholarship.
Does Lit Path have access to my clients’ therapy or coaching records?
No. Lit Path does not request or maintain therapy notes, coaching notes, or other clinical records. We only collect the billing information needed to administer the scholarship program.
What credentials are required to participate?
Requirements vary depending on whether you are joining as a therapist or coach. We verify applicable licenses and certifications and review each application for experience, qualifications, and alignment with Lit Path’s approach to healing and recovery.
Can I stop participating in the program?
Yes. If you need to step away from the Lit Path provider network, just let our team know. If you are currently working with a scholarship recipient, we’ll coordinate with you to make sure any active scholarship is handled appropriately.
What happens after I apply?
Our team verifies your applicable credentials and reviews your application and approach to care. Once approved, you’ll be able to complete your public provider profile and begin working with eligible Lit Path scholarship recipients.
