Independent but not alone.
You set your rates. You choose your students. Arcling handles billing, scheduling, intake, and matching — and sends you families who actually fit how you work.
Apply to joinYou set your own rates — Arcling never sets your price or mandates a package. Here's what comes to you.
Of every fee you charge, paid to you. Arcling's 20% covers billing, scheduling, intake, matching, and support — no subscriptions, no lead fees, no add-ons.
Of Arcling's annual profit, distributed at the end of each year across the counselors and coaches who make it work.
Most agencies take 40–50% and share nothing. Here you keep 80% of what you bill — and then a share of what the whole company earns on top of it. The people doing the counseling should own a piece of the upside they create.
We verify credentials before anyone joins, and every counselor works to a published standard aligned with NACAC's Statement of Principles of Good Practice. That's not red tape — it's the reason a family trusts the counselor we match them with. Read the promise we make to families and the full Counselor Guidelines.

At Arcling, he brings those same marketplace instincts to a new problem: helping expert independent counselors build sustainable practices — and making sure families can actually find them.
