Group ARP through Revago
Make more room for care.
An invitation to clinicians and treatment centers to help shape group delivery of ARP through Revago, bringing individualized care and shared skills practice together with access, dignity, and sustainable clinical work at the center.
Status: in development
Why I’m building this
Access is part of the work.
The role insurance plays in deciding who can get care, and under what conditions, is central to why I developed ARP and built Revago.
I’m a social worker. In the spirit of community work, I believe we have a responsibility to help find solutions that make care more accessible.
When I think about the cost of struggling, I think about much more than an appointment fee. I think about medications, therapy, hospitalizations, missed work, interrupted education, and debt. I think about people spending their time, money, and energy trying to get help, sometimes feeling caught in a revolving door of treatment.
Their dignity matters. Their hopes for their lives matter. So does whether they can keep accessing care.
Group delivery is one way I want to explore that responsibility with my colleagues. Sharing clinical time may lower the cost per participant while supporting fair compensation for the clinician. It also creates room for connection and practice with others. Building it thoughtfully means respecting each person’s needs and the clinicians doing the work.

What group care could make room for
Individual attention. Shared opportunities to practice.
Some parts of care need private, individual attention. Other parts may lend themselves to learning and practicing alongside others.
The proposed approach brings those settings together. Individual appointments would provide space to understand each person’s needs, calibrate their work, and reassess over time. Group sessions would offer shared skills practice with clinician guidance.
The purpose is to explore another route into sustained support, particularly for people weighing the demands of care against work, family, education, and everyday expenses. Accessibility, clinical fit, and fair compensation all belong in that conversation.
The proposed approach
A group format with individual care built in.
- 01Individual
Individual intake
Begin privately with a clinician to discuss needs, goals, relevant history, and whether group participation would be a suitable option.
- 02Individual
Individual calibration
Assess each person’s resonance frequency individually to establish their breathing practice pace. Personal decisions and sensitive details belong in that individual setting.
- 03Group
Shared skills practice
Bring participants together for clinician-guided skills practice, with each person breathing at their individually calibrated pace. Personal readings would remain private from other participants. Participation would be voluntary, with clear expectations for privacy, respectful participation, and what is appropriate to share.
- 04Individual
Individual reassessment
Return to individual appointments to review how the work is going and make person-specific decisions about next steps.
Each clinician would independently set and explain their fees and the expected mix of individual and group appointments, so people can consider the full commitment before deciding.
For clinicians and treatment centers
Help build an option you can stand behind.
I invite colleagues who have the interest and capacity to consider offering group sessions through Revago and to help shape how that could work in practice.
Making care more accessible should include fair compensation and a sustainable workload for clinicians. Your clinical judgment, capacity, and setting matter. So do your own decisions about fees and whether group delivery belongs in your practice.
There is useful work to do together:
- Identify which skills are appropriate for shared practice and which decisions need individual attention.
- Develop clear expectations for participation, privacy, and boundaries.
- Make the relationship between individual and group appointments understandable.
- Consider practical barriers such as scheduling, participation needs, and the full cost of care.
- Shape an approach clinicians and treatment centers can assess against their own responsibilities and resources.
Practical support through Revago
Build the support around the care.
Revago’s individual ARP framework provides a starting point for shaping group delivery. Its practical supports include:
Session guidance
Scripted guidance helps organize what clinicians cover during individual ARP sessions.
Practice between appointments
Client portal onboarding and home-practice entries give practice outside the appointment a place in the workflow.
Assessment and review
Recorded HRV information and assessment review support the clinician’s work, including rest, stress, and recovery assessment and individual resonance-frequency assessment.
The current workflow uses manual data entry alongside external HRV tools. Adapting these supports for shared sessions is part of the group development work, and clinician input will help define what is useful in different settings.
Invitation
Help shape group delivery.
Group delivery through Revago is in development, with a separate pilot proposed. We’re inviting clinicians and treatment centers to register interest and contribute to its design.
If this mission resonates with you, I’d like to hear what would make group delivery useful, responsible, and workable in your setting.

Frequently asked questions
Questions
Would everyone breathe at the same pace?
No. The proposed approach begins with individual resonance-frequency assessment and calibration. Participants would share the session structure while practicing at their own assigned breathing pace. Individual reassessment would give the clinician time to review that person’s practice and next steps.
Who would set the fees?
Each clinician would independently set their own fees. Participants should be able to understand the expected mix of individual and group appointments and associated charges before deciding to take part.
How would privacy work in a group?
Personal clinical decisions and sensitive details would be addressed individually. Group participation would need clear privacy expectations, boundaries, and informed consent. Participants should understand that a clinician cannot guarantee what other group members will keep private, and should have space to discuss those concerns before deciding whether to join.
What does registering interest mean?
It lets us know you would like to contribute to the conversation about group delivery. You can share your setting, practical needs, and questions. It does not commit you to offering groups or participating in a pilot. Interest in group delivery is separate from participation in the clinician cohort.
