The care is not ours.
Grasshopper owns administrative work only. Clinical decisions, supervision, treatment, and clinician staffing remain outside the service.

A new company. An operating standard you can inspect.
Grasshopper is the practice-operations company for therapists going—and staying—independent. We publish the work, the boundaries, and the proof standard before we ask you to trust the company.

Why Grasshopper exists
Practice ownership should not require a second career in administration.
An independent therapy practice has business work that does not disappear because the clinician is ready to own the care: payer applications, systems, scheduling, inboxes, claims, denials, reports, and handoffs.
Grasshopper exists to give that administrative work a defined owner under one operating standard. The company coordinates launch work, can operate the back office after go-live, and keeps clinical decisions and professional advice outside its role.
Working practiceAdministrative back office
01Payer work
Applications, submissions, follow-up, status.
02Practice systems
Handoffs, access, go-live, operating records.
03Front office
Scheduling, intake, inboxes, administration.
04Revenue cycle
Claims, denials, posting, balances, reports.
This is a service map, not a claim about founder history, client volume, or past results.
Origin, without borrowed history
The operating problem is real. The unverified anecdote stays unpublished.
A working therapy practice has an administrative back office: payer applications, systems, scheduling, inboxes, claims, denials, reports, and handoffs. Grasshopper is designed to own that work under one operating standard.
Origin evidence boundary
No approved source currently supports a claim that Grasshopper began inside a specific practice, that a named founder held a particular operating role, that the system has served a stated number of clients, or that it has a stated history of results.
The prior About page made a more specific working-practice origin claim. That sentence has been removed from public copy because the supplied records do not substantiate it. A verified founder interview or origin artifact may support a more specific story later.
See the public proof standardWho is accountable
The accountable human should be named—and sourced.
A careful buyer should be able to see who is responsible, what that person has actually done, and how escalation reaches them. The name and role are published below; the remaining profile stays gated until it can be sourced.
Partially published
Name and role published; the rest stays evidence-gated
Thomas Meyers founded Grasshopper and personally owns the fit call and the escalation path. The remaining profile — biography, operating history, credentials, quotations, and portrait — stays withheld until verified source material and image rights are approved. Grasshopper will not replace that missing evidence with a generic passion statement, inferred résumé, stock person, or generated human.
Required publication record
- Approved public name and title — published
- Exact current responsibilities and escalation ownership
- Relevant experience, employers or engagements, role scope, and dates that may be stated publicly
- Credentials or training with current-status evidence
- Approved short and long biography
- Current portrait with source, usage rights, crop limits, and release status
Accountability available now: Until the full profile is verified, accountability remains inspectable through the Commitment Ledger, service boundaries, published prices, and the company’s ownership and exit terms.
Principles governing the service
Authority is useful only when its boundaries are visible.
These principles are not personality claims. They are public operating constraints that a client can use to evaluate scope, price, evidence, and exit.
The practice stays yours.
The practice, payer contracts, client relationships, and practice data remain with the client.
Review ownership and exitThe fee stays visible.
Grasshopper uses flat, published project and monthly fees and never charges a percentage of collections.
See published pricingActivity is defined before outcomes are discussed.
Each public commitment names the action, timing, trigger, owner, evidence mechanism, and relevant service.
Open the Commitment LedgerA handoff must be operable in both directions.
The operating model is intended to start with a defined handoff and end under clear, signed offboarding terms.
See the exit questionsAbout the name
One metaphor. Then back to the work.
The name carries one useful idea: a clinician can leave a structure that no longer fits without becoming a different clinician. The leap still needs an operating base. That is where the metaphor stops and the practice-operations category begins.
“You make the leap. We carry the rest.” remains the brand sign-off. It does not replace the category, inflate the origin story, or require a literal creature mascot.
Return to the operating modelThe approved new-company proof stance
New is a fact. The standard is to make it inspectable.
Grasshopper does not need to sound apologetic about being new, and it does not need to borrow credibility from an invented client history. Proof moves public in a defined order.
