Pros

This company creates a safe space for you to increase therapeutic skills. If you are not licensed they will hire you.

Cons

Rate of pay will NEVER match what they promised. If you want to make 39k a year you can sacrifice to earn your license.

Pros

Incredible regional director, supervision, and coworkers. I had a bad internship experience before joining LifeStance and was worried that I had fallen behind in my clinical experience. I now have access to a hugely diverse clientele that has helped me narrow in on where I want to specialize, and LifeStance has helped me connect with clinicians with similar specialties. Benefits are a plus and offices they provide are very comfortable.

Cons

Even though this is my first real clinical roll since graduating, compensation seems pretty low. The pay split for un-licensed clinicians is 40%. Projected salary is $57,000, but that's only if you can keep 27 clients a week. LPCC's get mostly Mediciad clients and I have about 1-5 non-billable no-show/cancellations each week. Only paid per session as well, so nothing to show for time spent on notes or consultations/meetings. My last monthly paycheck was $2,934.00 before taxes and benefits ($1,858.46 after). Hard to pay bills and rent on that.

Pros

Flexible, resources for success, positive staff culture, sign on bonus.

Cons

It takes 6 months to get a full caseload and you will need to temporarily operate from a lower salary. You will only develop community with your colleagues if you seek it out.
