A word from Earle

You bring the healing. I run the back office.

I'm a builder. I think in systems, workflows, and automations. You're a healer — you think in people, patterns, and presence. We operate on completely different strengths, and that's exactly the point.

The Bowerbirds exists because therapists shouldn't lose clients to a missed phone call or revenue to a paperwork backlog. My partners focus on healing. I handle the operations behind it.

Earle Doudera
Founder, The Bowerbirds

Empty slots.
Unbilled hours.

You spent years mastering the clinical side of healing. Empathy, presence, therapeutic modalities — that's your domain. Nobody trained you to chase down insurance claims, rebook the slot a client just cancelled, or follow up on the prospect who never heard back.

Yet that's the reality for most solo therapists — late-night billing, no-show fees that never get charged, and a calendar with gaps that quietly bleed revenue every week.

"The average solo therapist loses over $50,000 a year in unbilled time and unfilled slots to administrative work they were never trained to do."

The Bowerbirds closes that gap. We automate the billing, fill the calendar, and re-engage the clients who go quiet — so every hour you have to give actually gets given to someone who needs it.

$50K
Lost annually per solo therapist to admin work and unbilled time. Our automation reclaims that revenue without you touching an invoice.
47hrs
Average response time to a new client inquiry. We give you a booking link, ready intake forms, and an eligibility check that runs before the first call — so the person reaching out doesn't get lost in the wait.
$1,200
In weekly billing lost to a therapist spending 8 hours on admin. Our system pays for itself in two filled slots.

One flat fee.
Your back office, automated.

We run the operations that keep your practice paid, scheduled, and full — automated billing, insurance claims, calendar filling, and client follow-up. One price, every month, no surprises.

Bowerbirds Operations
Your Practice, Automated
The back office a solo therapist would have to hire three people to run — billing, scheduling, follow-up — done by software, watched over by Earle.

What's included

  • Automated appointment reminders (SMS + email) to kill no-shows
  • Conflict and overbooking alerts on your dashboard

  • Digital intake forms with insurance collection
  • Partner practice portal — every client, every session, one place

Included
A practice website, if you want one
No website? We'll build you one — clean, mobile-friendly, and quietly wired into your booking and intake. Already have one you like? Keep it; we plug in alongside what's already working.
Built for the way you work.

At the heart of all of this is your Bowerbirds Partner Portal — a quiet, private place where every client's story stays organized and ready when you need it. Session notes, intake forms, the resources and homework you've shared, the timeline of where each person has been and where they're going — all in one place, so you can stay present with the person across from you instead of searching through folders between sessions.

When you mark a session complete in the portal, billing handles itself. Insurance claims are submitted, copays are charged, and revenue is tracked — without you touching an invoice.

When a cancellation comes in, the slot doesn't disappear into your week — your waitlist is sorted by how long someone has been waiting and shown right alongside it, so the people who've been waiting actually move forward instead of the list gathering dust. When a client goes quiet — the kind of person you'd genuinely worry about — you get a heads-up with their name and last contact, so you can reach out the way you'd want to before they slip away.

Don't have a website? We'll build one for you as part of onboarding — clean, mobile-friendly, and quietly wired into your booking and intake. Already have one? Keep it. We plug in alongside what's already working, so the part of your practice your clients see online stays exactly the way you want it.

Our guarantee: Your back office is running by week two or your first month is free. No contracts, no setup fees, cancel anytime. Every partner works directly with Earle.

Included with every plan

Your private
practice portal.

Every The Bowerbirds partner gets access to a secure, private portal built specifically for solo therapists — one place to manage every client, every session, and every outcome.

Log in from any browser. No apps to install. No extra fees.

Access Your Portal
Automated Billing
Mark a session complete and billing fires automatically. Insurance claims submitted, copays charged, revenue tracked — zero manual invoicing.
Organized Waitlist
Your waitlist sorted by how long each person has been waiting and shown alongside cancellations and openings — so the people waiting actually move forward, instead of getting lost.
No Client Left Behind
Quiet clients get re-engaged before they slip away. Conflicts and overbooked off-hours surface as tasks on your dashboard with the contact info already attached.
Client Timeline
A complete visual timeline per client — sessions, homework, key life events, and milestones. One scroll to see their whole journey.

Simple from day one.

Different strengths.
Same mission.

My name is Earle Doudera, and I built The Bowerbirds around a simple belief: the best partnerships aren't between people who are the same — they're between people whose strengths are complementary.

I'm analytical and left-brained. I build systems, automate workflows, and optimize operations. I think in data, processes, and infrastructure. That is genuinely what I do best.

My partners are right-brained and relationship-driven. They think in people, emotions, and healing. They hold space, build trust, and guide transformation. That is genuinely what they do best.

We don't compete. We complete each other — and we both serve the same mission: to bring healing to the people who need it most.

When I looked at the solo therapy landscape, I saw gifted healers losing clients to missed phone calls and revenue to a paperwork backlog — and I knew I could fix that. The gap between a therapist who's thriving and one who's overwhelmed is almost always an operations gap. That's my territory.

You bring the healing. I run the back office. Together, no client gets left behind.

What I cover for you

The Team Behind Your Mission

Claims Processor
Files insurance claims, follows up on denials, reconciles ERAs, and sends patient statements — the part of the job most therapists never trained for and never want to do.
Customer Success
Surfaces clients who've gone quiet, organizes the waitlist, and pairs people with the resources you've already chosen — so the relationship stays warm between sessions.
Practice Operations
Manages your calendar, sends reminders, handles cancellations, and flags conflicts before they become double-bookings — the steady work that keeps the day from unravelling.
Software Engineer
Builds and maintains your partner portal and the automations that run quietly in the background. The system gets better every month — and you don't pay extra for it.
Web Developer
Builds your practice website if you don't have one, or refreshes the one you have. One time, no recurring fee — because that's what a website actually is.
Bookkeeping & Reporting
Tracks revenue, copays, outstanding claims, and cancellation patterns so you always know where your practice stands without opening a spreadsheet.

Ready to be fully present —
for your clients, and for yourself?

Fill out the form and Earle will personally respond within one business day. No sales pressure — just an honest conversation about your practice, the kind of week you want to be having, and whether we're the right fit.

The first conversation is always free.

My personal promise: You will hear back from me directly — not a virtual assistant, not a form response. I show up for my partners the same way they show up for their clients. If we're a fit, we'll both know it in the first conversation.

OpenPhone Proxy Template
Deploy this as a serverless function (e.g. Vercel: save as api/openphone/[...path].js) or adapt to any Node host. Set the env var OPENPHONE_API_KEY with your key from OpenPhone's API settings.

  
OpenPhone Communications
Backend proxy required. OpenPhone API keys cannot live in the browser (they'd be exposed in page source). You need a small server-side proxy that holds the key and relays requests.
Setup steps:
  1. Sign up at openphone.com and create an API key in Settings → API.
  2. Deploy a small proxy (Node.js on Vercel/Cloudflare/etc.) with the API key in env vars. It should expose:
    GET /openphone/calls?participants={phone}
    GET /openphone/messages?participants={phone}
  3. Enter your proxy's base URL below.
