The company is team oriented. The supervisor has an open door policy. The weekly team meetings are helpful in determine how to best move forward with clients, it’s not only a time for updates but brainstorming.

The schedule is inconsistent. However, it was something that can be discussed with the supervisor.

-Great experience working with clients with a diverse array of conditions, especially if you are trying to learn your clinical niche. -Rewarding experiences with clients, seeing them grow and prosper -Creativity in group sessions, no strict curriculum. -Well-rounded therapy, including families in the treatment process. -Benefits not too bad (e.g. health/dental insurance can be affordable, two mental health days per year, PTO accrues relatively fast, some self-care resources offered to employees). -Work stays at work. You are not expected to work beyond your hours (unless you are an evening therapist).

-Pay is low. -There is heavy pressure to keep clients in treatment and ask for “five-star reviews,” which can make clinicians feel more like salespeople than therapists. -Management is very top-down. Expectations are often decided internally and then pushed onto staff without clear communication. -Staff are frequently micromanaged and questioned, which can make you feel more like a liability than a trusted professional. -Workload is high, and while support is promised, supervisors are often too overextended to provide it consistently. -The culture can feel performative and “us vs. them,” leading to low morale. -Clinicians must track their caseload across multiple platforms and are closely monitored for updates. -Staff are sometimes expected to complete tasks for other departments without adequate training (like billing). -Those pursuing licensure should know there is an expectation to remain with the company for 18 additional months after obtaining it, without a pay increase. -The therapy itself (sessions, documentation, coordination of care) is manageable, but the number of extra administrative tasks can quickly become overwhelming.
