Welcome to Handbook Central!
These instructional reference handbooks are meant to be a resource for you as you move through your practice. As I update the handbooks, the most current version can always be found here. This handbooks, like all of the resources you have access to, are for your own use, and may not be shared. Thank you!
Private Practice Management
This Handbook covers all of the basics of starting and running a private practice. The intended audience is any licensed clinician in Vermont, not necessarily just geared toward OpenGate people.
Documentation
This handbook is the complete guide to documentation in private practice, and is geared toward the standards for Medicaid, BCBS and MVP.
Professional Will Writing
These are the slides from the training, which was recorded, and which you can use in conjunction with the training. I will be making a full-scale handbook with this subject in the mid-future. You are required to have a professional will, so this is helpful content for meeting that requirement.
Policy Writing
These are the slides from the training, which was recorded, and which you can use in conjunction with the training. I will be making a full-scale handbook with this subject in the mid-future.

OpenGate Supervisee Handbook
The OpenGate Supervisee Handbook is a comprehensive guide designed to support interns and post-graduate clinicians through every stage of their supervised practice. Inside, you’ll find clear policies, step-by-step onboarding instructions, supervision requirements, documentation and billing standards, clinical expectations, emergency procedures, practice-building guidance, and Vermont-specific regulatory information from OPR and Medicaid. This handbook outlines exactly what you need to know to succeed at OpenGate—clinically, administratively, ethically, and professionally. It is your roadmap to developing strong habits, building a sustainable private practice, and progressing confidently toward independent licensure.
