Pros
Working with families and clients, and meeting new therapists who are like-minded.
Cons
Therapy tree is definitely a place for new grads-or so they want you to think. As an experienced SLPA with many years under my belt, the workload here is absolutely atrocious. The expectations are higher than they should be. You are expected to complete all documentation within 24 hours, but no time given to complete said documentation. If it is not finished by end of day, management will expect you to work unpaid at home. This expectation is not a standard for some therapists though. Evaluations have taken weeks to be completed, and multiple times a new patient is scheduled for treatment without an evaluation or plan of care ready for the treating therapist. Managements catchphrase is “let me know if you need anything!”, yet there is never a response when you reach out. Good luck hoping to see your clinical director because they are never onsite! It takes days if you’re lucky to hear back from any management, and a majority of the time there is no response. All that to say…no support! Therapists are expected to do front desk tasks, janitorial duties, and scheduling all while having a full caseload every day. Gaslighting must be something management is taught because you will be told of one expectation, yet get in trouble for following said expectation and then get told that this same expectation was never spoken of. Management will pick and choose how they treat each employee. Favoritism runs rampant through here-some employees will get to use planned PTO even in their last weeks, while others get PTO that had been approved MONTHS before hand retracted. Need lactation accommodations? Be ready for management to take MONTHS before providing a space that is required by law, only will only do so when the department of labor gets involved. And even then, will ask you to pump in your car, in the bathroom, or in disgusting and physically toxic rooms. Need ADA accommodations? They’d rather force you to quit than provide any accommodations required by law. Have a family emergency? Just make sure to find another therapist to cover your schedule last minute, otherwise you’ll get written up! Billing fraud? Yep! They will schedule a “progress note” to update goals, then re-evaluate a kid the next week and bill both sessions as a re-evaluation. Scheduling won’t answer phone calls or return phone calls so good luck trying to schedule an appointment! They offer feeding therapy, great. Do they train therapist on how to provide these services? Nope! Even if a therapist expresses they do not know how to provide this type of service, they will still force this person to provide said service WITHOUT supervision. There is no hot water or anywhere to sanitize any materials used to provide these services either. And last but not least, this company switched over to paper checks mid 2025, and recently checks have been bouncing. All of this to say-I would NOT recommend this establishment to my worst enemy.
