BrightView Behavioral Health Services

Starting with this company was initially a positive experience. I received strong support from previous BCBAs and Clinical Directors, and the work environment felt collaborative. However, over the years, there has been significant staff turnover and a noticeable decline in support.

Currently, there is no Clinical Director, and the individual stepping into that role is actually the Director of Operations, who began in February. Unfortunately, they lack the clinical leadership and knowledge needed for the role. There’s a consistent pattern of avoiding accountability in which questions go unanswered, support is minimal or nonexistent, and promises to address issues are never followed through on.

There is no formal onboarding process for Mid-Level Clinicians, or BCBAs, and Behavior Technicians often begin without proper training, leading to confusion and inefficiency. New hires are essentially left to figure things out on their own.

Caseloads are unreasonably heavy, leading to quick burnout, especially when paired with a lack of resources for assessments, parent training, or ongoing professional support. Clinical meetings are disorganized and nonfunctional—more of a time filler than a productive space.

This company may appear promising at first, but it truly is a “too good to be true” situation. The lack of support, training, ethical standards, and leadership make this a difficult and potentially damaging place to work.

My experience at BrightView Behavioral Health has been extremely disappointing. The company's disregard for employee well-being and patient care is alarming all they care about is fulfilling authorization hours. All they care about is maximizing the behavior technician hours. The turnover is high between behavior technician and Admin. I would not recommend working here to anyone seeking a fulfilling and supportive work environment in the behavioral health field. 

  


Management is highly unprofessional, They often ignore staff concerns Workload is overwhelming and unrealistic Constant push for more work Leads to burnout and decreased quality of work Pay is significantly lower than industry standards Training is inadequate and leaves employees ill-prepared Little to no ongoing professional development Work environment is highly stressful and toxic High turnover among staff

Typical day at work can start anywhere from 7:00am to 830pm ish. Includes weekends and holidays. Management is rough. They can be passive aggressive not only to you but to families, too. My direct supervisor did not micro manage me and was collaborative which was helpful. Work culture is slim to none, if you're not part of the clique, you're part of the problem. Not everyone has the same hobbies which was not respected. Hardest part was lack of work life balance. No respect for physical and/or mental health or even doctor's notes. No PTO if you're salary and very few holidays are recognized. You need to meet monthly hours no matter the barriers even with client cancellations or "time off/PTO". My time off was used to catch up on much needed rest and recuperation. I went from top performer to paying a visit to my doctor's office. The most enjoyable part was teaching/training BT/ BI/RBT and families about ABA. I don't recommend working here if you have any self worth & integrity. You deserve to be treated fairly no matter who you are. You matter and you're making a difference. Don't let them tell you or make you feel otherwise.   

Best ABA company to work for! I joined Brightview Behavioral Health after being unhappy at my previous ABA company and there is nothing negative to say about Brightview. Supervisors, BCBAs and the director were all so helpful. They answer your questions and concerns at any time of the day and provide the support you need with weekly visits and follow-ups. Unlike most ABA companies, Brightview provides toys (good quality toys) and if you need/want a particular item, they do their best to provide that for you.  Compensation was more than fair and they are very flexible with your schedule. They also provide consistent hours for therapists. In this field, families cancel all the time but Brightview has a policy in which families have to fulfil 90% of 1:1 hours. 

I loved providing services for Brightview. This company shows appreciation towards their employees, provides endless support and pays their employees reasonably well. They also provide monthly meetings that help us become better therapists. 

If you are looking for an ABA company, go to Brightview!


This position of working with children is a very rewarding experience that requires a lot of patience and understanding. This is an entry - level job and BrightView provides the training required. I started this position three years ago and the company was absolutely amazing. Help was offered and provided all around. There was a time when the company was going through changes and communication from upper management was not clear and concise, which was quite frustrating. I have noticed the company attempting to go back to it's previous version and improve.  BrightView has expressed their  encouragement to take time off as they acknowledge the mental toll this position can cause. The hardest part of the job is case availability and eventually becoming a full time employee, but I believe the company is working on this. The most enjoyable part of the job is the job itself. Working with children brings out the inner child in everyone. Every small achievement from the children paves the way to a bigger triumph. 

Working with BrightView has reignited my passion for the field of ABA. Having owners/directors that have worked in the field and are passionate about the quality of services and also understand the day to day struggles of being a technician is extremely important, and is one of the many things that makes BrightView so great. As an RBT, you feel valued, and cases/clients are not forced upon you. They have monthly employee recognition with gifts, tablets for data/session notes, provide games and toys for sessions, and ongoing trainings. I can always reach out to my supervisor or the director for support and someone will always respond quickly. There are also opportunities for advancement and to further your education. 

If you love working with kids and want to work for a company that makes you feel like you are valued, supported, and shows their appreciation, I would highly recommend BrightView!

I've been with the company since 2022, and it's truly been a rewarding experience. As a BCBA, I’ve felt consistently supported by leadership and appreciated as a professional. Management is approachable, communicative, and genuinely invested in staff growth and client success.

One of the standout aspects is the flexibility—I’ve been able to maintain a healthy work-life balance, which is so important in this field. Scheduling is collaborative, and the team respects boundaries and personal commitments.

There’s a strong culture of collaboration and ongoing learning. Clinical decisions are guided by ethics and best practices, and creative input is always welcomed. I feel empowered to do my best work every day, knowing I have a team that has my back.

If you're looking for a place where your voice matters, your expertise is valued, and your well-being is prioritized, I highly recommend joining this team.

I started working here with no prior ABA experience, but the company has helped me grow and I have learned so much in such a short time. There are monthly group trainings which have been incredibly helpful and they provide you with all the necessary materials and resources that you need to succeed. Management is amazing and they work with you if any last minute schedule changes come up. They have made it easy to get in touch with the directors and supervisors if you have any questions. They also have a partnership with Purdue University if employees want to further their education and pursue a Master's degree which was one of the things that drew me to this company. I have also found it very rewarding to see the progress my kiddos have made and they are by far the best part of this job. 

I appreciate the support from my direct supervisors, but other than that, there wasn’t much support. The expectation to never be sick when working with kids, is unrealistic. We’re bound to get sick and yet there’s not much flexibility when it comes to taking sick time or canceling session for illness. No one should be made to fee guilty for taking a sick day when they are actually sick. Admin is pretty adamant about making up missed sessions, even when the employee isn't the one to cancel. It can be challenging coordinating your personal schedule with your client’s personal schedule to make up this missed time and admin isn’t considerate of that. Admin should care more about their employee’s mental and physical well-being before money.

If you have a certain direct supervisor, it’s somewhat bearable but it was clear even they were limited in what they could do to help you. Other than that, heartless place. They don’t care about their employees and honestly, it is sad. Everything and everyone is a number. They take advantage of the fact that most of their staff, this is their first job and students that don’t know any better on how a workplace should treat them. They don’t have any empathy towards the fact that their employees are humans who have lives outside of their job. Also, they are intrusive of the personal details they request from employees just to excuse an absence. Don’t work here. You deserve better. They may say they are working on making things better when, in reality, they’re not doing anything and they don’t plan to.
