Pros

The staff is really helpful, responsive and professional. They offer training, CEU, and supervision. It is a really good place to get experience.

Cons

Financially, you may need to get a second job. Several employees here have part time jobs elsewhere as well. Master's level clinicians are paid at the Bachelor's level. Honestly, there are high school degree level positions in the area that pay more. The company is also not diverse which makes clients sometimes feel uncomfortable and does not attract qualified potential employees.
