Solid Foundations Therapy Downers Grove reviews

Thank you for sharing your experience. We take all feedback seriously, and we want to be honest with anyone considering joining our team about what working at Solid Foundations Therapy is really like. We are a niche practice with a defined clinical approach, and we are intentional about that. Therapists who join us receive training in our model/style and there are many ways to practice well within it. We do hold high clinical standards because our clients deserve quality care, and because we want our therapists to grow, earn well, and build something sustainable here. When someone is struggling to meet expectations, including the metric standards that we set, our first response is always coaching. While I can understand that it can feel like micromanaging at times our goal is always to ensure that the therapist is successful and the client is getting what they need. We look at what's happening, what the therapist needs, and how we can help. On compensation: our structure is fully disclosed before any offer is made — hourly per session plus administrative time, with bonus opportunities. Advertised ranges reflect therapists meeting the standard expectation of 20–25 clients per week. We are transparent that building a full caseload takes time, particularly for provisionally licensed clinicians, and we support that process. Additionally, when clients are charged for late cancellations or no-shows, therapists are paid for those hours and they count toward their weekly caseload metrics. Scheduling does include 15 prime-time hours per week, typically 2 evenings and weekend day, because those are most in demand times. This is communicated clearly before hiring so candidates can make an informed decision about fit. Our supervision model covers case consultation, clinical tools, and self of the therapist work. We aim for supervision to feel like a place to learn, gain support and growth but understand that not all feedback always feels great. We are not the right fit for every clinician, and we respect that. But if you are looking for a practice that takes clinical excellence seriously, invests in your development, and genuinely wants you to succeed — we'd love to talk. Reach out to us directly and we’d be happy to address any concerns.

Thank you for this thoughtful review and especially for giving honest context around the weekend requirement. Private practice scheduling is a real conversation we have with every candidate upfront, and we appreciate you framing it with the perspective that comes from actually doing this work. We love that the four-day week, the team culture, and the technology integration are working well for you. Grateful to have you with us.
