About Wolf & Noble

About Wolf & Noble, Inc.

At Wolf & Noble, we do something unique — develop and teach advanced measurement-based care methodologies from a foundation of real-world service experience. Our founder and lead consultant, Dr. Sparkes, is both a working clinician and a statistician: a rare combination that informs all of our resources and services.

Measurement-based care is fast becoming a standard. Providers are increasingly asked to track client outcomes and demonstrate impact. This can be challenging, especially since the type of measurement usually introduced feels unnatural, and providers often do not receive adequate training.

Wolf & Noble is here to meet this challenge, and more. We empower providers through our consulting, education, and training services that were built for behavioral health providers by behavioral health providers. Whether you're in private practice or running a large service organization, partnering with us equips you with the knowledge, skills, and systems to strengthen your services and show their value.

We value the quality of care most of all. Measurement that becomes a burden is measurement misapplied. We don't sacrifice client-centered care to satisfy administrative demands — we design and teach measurement practices that serve both.

The Wolf & Noble Promise

Wolf & Noble is committed to supporting and improving the behavioral health field beyond its own clients. Wolf & Noble donates 1% of its revenue to organizations that expand access to behavioral health care or measurement-based care. When you work with us, you support that work too.
