Pros
+ Support and Leadership: The founders, coaches, and clinicians are knowledgeable and supportive. The leadership values employee feedback and tries to make changes based on it. + Work-Life Balance and Flexibility: Best work-life balance I’ve ever had in this field. The scheduling flexibility allows for personal and professional balance. + Small Caseload and Minimal Admin Work: A small caseload and fewer admin tasks makes the work more meaningful and less overwhelming. Also, not having supervisees allows space to focus on clinical work. + Ongoing Learning and Growth: In-home CEUs and access to collaborating with experienced coworkers and coaches provide continuous learning opportunities. After past experiences with both small and large companies that left me feeling burnt out and wary, this company restored my love for the field.
Kontras
- Potential for Fluctuating Hours: If clients go on extended vacations or there’s a transition between cases, there can be a significant decrease in hours and a need to plan for financial uncertainty. - Physical and Mental Demand of Direct Sessions: While the work is fulfilling, providing direct sessions can be physically and mentally draining. Balancing this with indirect work can sometimes be challenging.
