Pros

Supposedly a “no weekends” policy and decent benefits.

Cons

Often will ask you continue doing therapy for a client that it might not serve to continue doing therapy for. On top of that they overwork clinicians and always talk about work life balance but do very little in the way of maintaining that. High turnover and burnout. Additionally, they often speak about continuity of care but do things that are opposite of that. Holidays are essentially penalized due to them forcing you to move clients onto other times on your schedule for “continuity of care” even though it’s really an excuse just to bill, bill, bill. This company puts profit before people and it’s evident from Day 1. They truly work you like a dog. Please don’t take these positive reviews as legitimate because they pressure their employees to leave positive reviews.

Pros

Good support and camaraderie among colleagues.

Cons

The company seems motivating at first, but policies primarily benefit the business rather than employees or clients. Salaries are on the lower side, and if you need to travel to McKinney for orientation, all expenses are your own. Both orientation and training hours are low-paid ($10–$12 per hour) for highly qualified professionals. Please read the contract carefully before signing. Client care requirements are rigid: clients are often scheduled for at least weekly sessions for six months, regardless of whether they agree or actually need the service. Clients often become frustrated, feeling treated like a “business” rather than individuals, and it is the therapist who must handle the fallout. Therapists often feel they are acting unethically when taking time off, because if they cannot see their clients that same week, clients are almost forced to see another therapist. All responsibility is placed on the therapist, even when they have proactively tried to manage the situation or seek help. Overall, the focus feels more on profit than on mental health.
