Somatic Experiencing Reviews

The organization is lost in it's history and lack of true leadership. Currently, they have a board that is also the executive director and taking an enormous salary. None of the paid board members have nonprofit, business or organizational skills. Lots of big ideas with no attention on the reality of how to get there. Board members are meddlesome and disrespectful to the office staff and faculty that are in the trenches and do actual day to day work.

They call themselves a non profit but are more interested in making money then the wellbeing of their employees or being customer conscious. They call themselves healers of trauma but the amount of trauma and stress I gained from working here almost made me break. They rack up fees and prices on a constant basis causing issues with the community. Refuse to listen to anybody working beneath director status about ideas to fix the front line work. The financial decisions they have made in the last 2 years has caused not one employee to get raises and they were laying people off in December 2022. They hire incompetent people to leadership roles, including directors. It's a giant mess with no real direction or organization. You also will NEVER be promoted as there is no way to move up. You will have the work of 5 different people with strict deadlines and no understanding. You'll have to deal with unprofessional conduct made by the students on a constant basis, and you'll get burnt out within 2 weeks. And nobody will care otlr help, they only care about the work.
