Pros
-Clinics are clean and have an overall calm energy. -You get to work directly with underserved populations. -One day remote per week. -Training opportunities (but come with time worked requirements). -Good salary compared to other community mental health clinics.
Cons
-BHTs are expected to schedule 40 patients a week. -Every open slot has to be filled, or it will be filled for you via the MOS or screener. -Only 90 mins of admin time alotted per week. -Sessions are booked back to back all day. -Upper management constantly pushes productivity requirements despite majority of clinician’s feeling burnt out. -Many offices are very small and without windows. This can become a problem when sitting there for the entire day seeing patients back to back.
