- Recession Resistant
In contrast to other businesses, the healthcare and mental health industries have been immune to economic downturns because insurance companies are legally required to cover the services we offer.
- Low Overhead
Nora Mental Health clinics are lean operations requiring no receptionist and no administrative staff. This means your costs are fixed, and as your clinic grows, so does your profit margin.
- Tele-Therapy Utilization
Insurance companies are covering tele-therapy services which allows you to have staff clinicians working virtually, taking up no office space and saving you money on overhead.
- Conversion Model
If you already have a practice but no longer wish to deal with all the minutiae, are having a hard time growing or would like to join the Nora family, we offer a conversion option to convert your existing clinic to an Nora Mental Health clinic for half the cost!
- Staff and Client Retention
Our proven methods of supporting and supervising our team members drastically reduces turnover because we are dedicated to taking care of our team. Lower clinician turnover rates also lead to higher client/patient retention rates.
- Semi-Absentee
A Nora Mental Health clinic is a great option for those who want to run a business without having to be on-site all the time. Nora clinics can be run semi-absentee when you have a licensed Clinical Director on staff.
