What a shame - Mental Health Counselor Headlight Health Employee Review

Pros

Colleagues who work hard and care about one another. A good place to work if you are new to the field and are just trying to get some experience or need to take a quick, 12-month or less, break from private practice (I stayed way too long). It's about average in terms of this moment of venture capitalists using mental health to make their nut. Original admins and staff (really good people) are like deer in headlights trying to keep therapists from leaving, new leadership views therapists as a dime a dozen. One bright spot, they are too 'obsessed' with themselves to micromanage you much.

Cons

Corporate-based mental health, non-clinical leadership that has zero idea what it means to be a therapist. The pay scale is so-so, and if you push back, you'll be quiet fired (look that up). Lots of talk about leadership being 'obsessed' with clinicians and clients, which is so very weird. You will be sapped and exhausted and the expected 25 plus hours of client contact (that's total hours, not sessions) will burn you out fast. Non-stop intakes, packed schedules, and no real concern (lip service, sure) for the well-being of counselors.
