A quick note from Jill, the practice owner (I’m on the bottom middle in the above photo!):
“My goal as an employer is to create a supportive work environment where you have space to create a meaningful, sustainable career doing the work you love. Like many therapists, I personally was burnt crispy early in my career (farewell, thyroid functioning!) due to high caseload numbers, 24/7 on-call, constant understaffing, mounds of paperwork, so much unpaid (and underpaid!) labor, and a general lack of concern about my personal wellbeing, that I 100% deeply understand what burnout feels like and I do not want any clinician to go through that same type of work experience. I strive to provide a place for both our client AND our clinicians to truly flourish!”
