A great training ground on your way to licensure

Mental health therapist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I would recommend this company to students seeking internship. Wide variety of clients and a large caseload of 80+ means you get your hours for licensure and lots of experience. The infrastructure and administrative support is excellent.

Cons

Supervision hours: Productivity and metrics get more attention than consultation and professional growth. It's like a 1:1 with your manager rather than a clinical supervision hour. While the leadership says they care about the well-being of staff, the company policies and actions don't back that up. The productivity expectations are unsustainable and unrealistic given the the high rate of clients that no show or cancel.

Agency/Corporate BS, but my team was amazing

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The individuals working at this day treatment site are great at what they do. Supervision is provided and extremely supportive.

Cons

The agency itself is quite corrupt, firing long-time employees who are paid the least to help its budget. It makes no sense.
