ABOUT US
Innovators. Dreamers.
For more than thirty years, we've been on a quest to help every behavioral health patient find exceptional, personalized care. We didn't discover the "therapist effect" but we have perfected how to identify and deploy the unique benefits and skills of every provider, prescriber, intervention, and more. We've created the only assessment system (called the Treatment Outcome Package) powerful enough to find these unique skills so each provider can deliver the best possible care and receive the reimbursement worthy of their documented skill.
Join our TOP family and be part of the most profound innovation in healthcare!
MEET THE FOUNDER
Our innovations start with our founder's vision: to be the arbiter of behavioral health quality, steering patients to the best personalized medicine and assisting payers in rewarding value-based care.
Our team has led this area of innovation from beginning to end. For example, all of the peer-reviewed publications on identifying and/or deploying the unique skills of each provider come from our team of industry and academic experts.

Dr. Kraus started his career as an Assistant Professor of child psychiatry at UMASS Medical School. His day job was to help run the inpatient unit for the most traumatized children in the commonwealth. He quickly learned that his clinical staff each had a unique skillset.
