Pros
-Being a practice known for working with the LGBTQIA+ population -Location (Andersonville) -I had remarkable supervisors that provided the support needed to endure so many immediate and--subsequently--harmful changes.
Kontras
-Hired a CAO that sourced the therapists for changes we'd like to see in the practice, but seemingly carried out his own interpreation of our needs with his own agenda. -Changed compensation model with little to no understanding of our needs, nor compromise. -Timely expectations for clinicians, but no accountability for timely responses from upper management. -Inconsitent communication about policy changes, along with "threats" regarding adherence, only to not follow through with said changes or communicate that those shifts had been delayed/backburnered. -Creating an environment of anxiety and hypervigilence due to swift policy changes, lack of communication, lack of consideration towards the parties impacted by said changes, and an inconsistent commitment to equity for all employees.
