We collaborate, consult, problem-solve, socialize, mentor, and encourage. Teamwork is fostered through weekly Treatment Team meetings as well as in the halls, by email or Zoom, and over lunch. The ability to consult with highly skilled, multidisciplinary colleagues when we need it ensures:High-quality care for our clientsIncreased confidence in our clinical and ethical decision-makingContinued learning and growthBenefits for both clients and therapists from exposure to an array of disciplines and theoretical approachesBuilt-in clinical coverage when providers are out sick, on vacation, or need to take leaveAs a locally owned and operated business, our highest priority is to uphold the wellbeing of our team and community. We are committed to providing financial stability for our employees, which means staying free of corporate ownership, organizational debt, and high-risk profit-seeking. As a small business, we also take pride in our flexibility to grow in collaboration with team members and respond thoughtfully to feedback. In reflection of these values, Understanding Minds is currently on a path to becoming a 100% employee-owned practice.Our administrative team provides comprehensive support, from marketing to therapist matching, scheduling, and billing. You never have to advertise yourself to build your caseload, schedule clients, field or fill cancellations, collect copays and fees, or deal with insurance companies. This creates space for therapists to focus on the parts of your work you value most - without the stress or numerous unpaid hours handling administrative tasks. Full-time administrative coverage also means that both clients and therapists receive prompt, thoughtful responses to their needs. In addition to taking calls and emails in real time, our administrative staff respond to left messages the same or following day, allowing clients to feel taken care of from the first point of contact and reducing undue burden on providers.Collaborative and tailored caseload-building combines the best of private practice and agency-based work. Our outpatient setting supports therapists to serve clients who reflect their clinical interests and strengths while still gaining diverse generalist experience. We encourage our staff to pursue specializations that they feel passionate about, without restricting them to specific programs or populations, and offer caseload stability by working to connect therapists with motivated clients who fit their interests and areas of expertise.We invest in and develop our team members holistically, from day one, and beyond the industry norm. This means not only professional and financial support toward supervision, training, CEUs, and licensure renewal, but also dedicated professional development driven by and tailored to your clinical and professional strengths, goals, interests, and areas for growth.
