The Care PredictorTM Index is an assessment tool that is used to predict a care provider’s ability to form a strong therapeutic alliance.

We Use Care Predictor to Ensure All Staff Members Have The Attributes That Contribute to Client Success

Do these traits really matter? The data says yes!

Science has shown that when clinicians display these traits, they are more effective at getting positive outcomes for clients. We use Care Predictor to assess and measure our staff for these traits.

Science shows that a positive client-therapist relationship is key to getting better outcomes.

True human connection is what’s missing from many other centers, but at Alter, we’re committed to fostering a safe, client-first healing environment where true transformation can happen.
