Listings free, permanently

List your practice.

Eight minutes, no card, no trial that turns into a subscription. If you don't have a website, this becomes one. If you do, this is the page that answers the questions your website doesn't.

Before you decide

The library is free whether you list or not.

About 140 clinical tools and patient handouts, no account and no email. We are not going to put a form in front of a taper planner. Go use them, and come back if the rest is worth eight minutes.

Interaction checkers, taper and switching planners, practice policy templates, printable patient worksheets, billing and HIPAA checklists.

Step 1

Your NPI

Name, credential, and NPI. We match it against the national registry. Takes about thirty seconds.

Step 2

A practice email

We send a link to an address at your practice domain. Clicking it confirms somebody can receive mail at that address, which is what the badge says and all it says.

Step 3

The referral fields

Availability, licensure, rates, insurance, who you see, what you're good for, and what isn't a fit.

Step 4

Publish

Live immediately, with the date you confirmed it shown in plain sight.

What a listing actually adds

Everything described below is free today, and a clinician listing will stay free permanently. Some of it needs an account because it's built out of your listing, and some of it doesn't. Here's the honest split.

Free to everyone, listed or not

About 140 tools and handouts

Interaction checkers, dose calculators, taper planners, practice policy templates, billing and HIPAA checklists, and printable patient worksheets from across The Shrink Network.

The good faith estimate generator

Build a clean printable estimate for a self pay patient in about a minute. Runs in your browser, stores nothing, no account.

Supervision and mentorship search

Find a supervisor for licensure hours or a mentor for a first year in practice. Free to search and free to offer.

What a listing adds

A page Google can find

Static, fast, and structured so search engines and AI assistants read it correctly. For a lot of solo clinicians this is a better web presence than what they're paying for now.

A starter kit for your discipline

One email when you verify, with the ten or so resources that actually apply to you. A prescriber gets the interaction checkers and monitoring schedules. A therapist gets the worksheets and the supervision listings. Same free library, just the part that's yours.

Estimates that fill themselves in

Your rates and NPI are already on your listing, so the good faith estimate generator prefills from them. Patient name, dates, done. That's the difference between a tool you like and a tool you use.

A printable referral card

Your listing as one clean page you can fax, email, or hand to a colleague, with a QR code for the back of a business card. Clinicians still fax, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.

"I have openings"

One tap when you get a cancellation, and your listing surfaces for 48 hours. No payment, no auction. Alerting other people when a slot opens is planned and not built: if it is ever built for anybody other than referring professionals, it would mean holding an email address next to a specialty, and the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy gets updated before that ships rather than after.

Planned: a front desk login

Your office manager updates every clinician in the practice from one screen in under a minute. Realistically, they're the person who will keep this current.

Your own referral list

Save the clinicians you actually use, with their availability kept current for you. It replaces the spreadsheet, the PDF, and the pile of business cards in a drawer.

Update without logging in

The confirmation email has three buttons and one click finishes it. Nobody should need a password to say they're taking patients.

Supervision on your listing

If you supervise or mentor, say so and appear in that search too. Post the fee, the format, and how many people you can take. Still no cut taken by us.

Who can list

Any clinician in the United States who holds the licence their listed services require, and who has a National Provider Identifier. Clinicians attest to their licensure when they list, and we do not independently check it, so confirm current licensure with the relevant state board before you refer. The MD in our name is the brand, not the membership requirement. On the NPI: it is how we match a listing to a real professional record, so it is required at launch. If you are licensed and have never needed one, write to us. We would rather build another way in than pretend the door is open when the form says otherwise.

  • MD and DO
  • NP and PMHNP
  • PA
  • PhD and PsyD
  • LCSW and LICSW
  • LMFT
  • LPC and LMHC
  • RD and LD
  • Other licensed clinicians

We match the professional information you give us against the national NPI registry, and we verify that somebody can receive mail at the practice address you submit. Where we complete a separate practice affiliation check, it shows on the listing as its own badge. None of that proves you are the person named, which is why no badge here says it does. We don't rate you, rank you, or let anyone pay to appear above you.

What we ask of you

One thing, and it's the thing that makes this site worth using. Keep the listing true.

  • Confirm your availability every 90 days. One click from an email.
  • Confirm the whole profile every 180 days. Also one click.
  • If you stop taking patients, say so. It costs you nothing and it saves someone a phone call.
  • Never post patient information anywhere on this site, including the referral board.

Miss the six month window and your listing goes dormant rather than getting deleted. It's hidden from search and out of the index, and one click brings it back for up to a year.

Start your listing

Tell us where to send the verification link.

Use an email at your practice domain if you have one. It's how we confirm the practice, and it means you skip a step later.

This picks your starter kit and prefills part of your listing.

Public information. We use it to match you against the national registry.

What lands in your inbox

The verification link, and one starter kit with the ten or so tools that fit what you do. That's it. No newsletter, no drip sequence, and nothing else until the confirmation prompt in ninety days.

When you submit, we check your NPI against the CMS national registry right away, then a person at HandshakeMD reads it before anything is published. Nothing about you goes live until you confirm it in your own words.

Three things to confirm

Three separate boxes, not one, because these are three separate promises and the important one should not hide behind the others. You will not be asked to accept this again just to confirm your availability.

Attestation wording 04deb29dba2fa7a6. Recorded with your acceptance, so the exact sentences above can always be identified later rather than only the document versions.

We record the date, which attestations you ticked, the version of each document you saw, and your IP address, because an agreement nobody can evidence is not an agreement. Listing agreement version 2026-08-31, terms version 2026-08-31, both effective August 31, 2026.

We'll email you about your listing and the confirmation prompts. Nothing else. We never sell clinician contact information, to recruiters or anyone else. Privacy.

Where HandshakeMD fits

The Shrink Network gives each need its own place. HandshakeMD is the clinician layer. If you are after a tool rather than a clinician, the resource index points at all of it.
