Billing/scheduling/credentialing problems = poor patient care

Mental health therapists

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great therapists and admin staff at local office.

Cons

The CEO and founders lack behavioral health care experience. Decisions are profit driven, not focused on client care or supporting therapists. High turnover + burnout and poor management has negatively impacted client care. Therapists and managers are resigning at high rates due to these problems.

Pros

My team was great. Really good people to work with.

Cons

Upper management is whack. CEO, CFO, COO, CHRO - all turned over recently. Company has no direction or changes it frequently. Equity was given and then taken away or the rules were changed. No performance management, no training if you aren’t a clinician, no travel budget, benefits are incredibly expensive, raises are minimal. head of HR has no HR experience. Company can’t figure out if they want 8 or 2 divisions. They are strapped for cash and the employees pay for it.
