Happier Living

     I have been an independent psychotherapy contractor at Happier Living for 3.5 years. I left survey questions blank re issues related to being a full time or part time employee as being an independent contractor is a different situation and I am not familiar with benefits attached to being an employee. I get to set my own schedule and am not pressured to accept patients beyond my expertise or needing a level of care greater than telemedicine can provide. The situation is ideal for me as I am semi retired, have extensive clinical experience and do not need to travel to get to the office ( I live in Western NY and winter/ low light driving conditions are a problem for me) .The learning curve to use the record keeping system is short and you can get guidance if you have any questions. There is case conference supervision  that includes medical and psychotherapy colleagues and their  mix of experience and skills is very helpful to my work. The technology at Happier Living is very clinician friendly and I encounter minimal tech issues ( unlike my past experience with onsite local providers when I did office or hospital work). I feel the compensation package is fair and the situation allows me to practice my craft without micromanagement. There are opportunities for continuing education and the organization offers financial support and guidance when applying or renewing licenses. 
     Overall, the situation is a great fit for me and I have no regrets about my decision to work there. I enjoy working there and expect to continue until I am ready to fully retire. 


In the interview, they over promsie career growth, promotions, and advancements. And way under deliver. They preach work-life balance. However, once you start from day one, they overwork you 13+ hours a day, encourage work mill type of production, and have no consideration for you and your time. They threaten you with job security and in turn make you feel like advancements and promotions are even further away when setting healthy boundaries for working 8-10 hours a day rather than 12-14. They try to get the most work out of their cheapest employees. You will never promote, no matter how many years you waste. 0 management, CONSTANT turn-over. 

I really enjoy being part of a team dedicated to increasing access to mental health.  
I work primarily with high functioning clients that are motivated to get better.  The clients present with issues that I find challenging and intellectually stimulating.  And because of their level of functioning and motivation, I get to see our clients make rapid progress.
The team has figured out how to provide some of best of private practice - autonomy, flexibility, great comp and benefits, as well as best of academic medicine - collegiality, camaraderie and regular case conferences.  
Due to the use of telehealth and the large geographic footprint, I have tremendous flexibility in what my days look like - working from home as well as when I'm travelling within CA or out of state.
Definitely recommend the group if you're fortunate enough to receive an offer.

Really have enjoyed the onboarding and training experience - the best I've ever experienced.  Feel incredibly supported and appreciate connecting with my colleagues regularly.  Appreciate our clients - they’re challenging in the best way.  Love the focus on providing therapy and the fact that I’m encouraged to spend more time with each client.

It’s clear that leadership and the organization has been extremely thoughtful and intentional about their approach - my experience has been awesome.  

Leadership is really focused on clinical care and my experience.

I would caution anyone considering employment with this company. Based on my experience, their recruitment process is misleading. The interview and hiring stages are straightforward, and they may extend an offer quickly, requiring you to sign a contract. However, they inform candidates that the onboarding process will take up to 90 days and ask for patience. Unfortunately, no start date is ever provided, and due to difficulties in securing patients, the credentialing process can extend well beyond what is reasonable—sometimes up to 7-12 months. Communication with HR or recruiters becomes increasingly difficult, if not impossible. In my view, this leads to significant delays and wasted time. Proceed with caution.

BTW, there are no internships at HappierLiving yet. Pay is a bit low for LMFTs. Bonuses are confusing and are based on retention rate. After a year, I was only offered a dollar per hour raise, which was insulting. Had to settle for a $3.00 per hour raise which doesn't help much. Then. weekly case conferences are now unpaid. Therefore, I recently had to add an additional 40-minutes to qualify for full-time/30-hours weekly. They change policies to the corporation's advantage.
Pro. work is remote. Flexible schedule. I love my clients and the work is meaningful and purposeful for me. But, I can work for another company willing to pay a fair wage for my experience and skill-sets (licensed & practicing LMFT since 2014.

The pace and energy of the business is very exciting and will leave you feeling very fulfilled. Even though the role is 100% remote, you have the opportunity to develop relationships through paid weekly case conferences. Once you join, you will be assigned a Clinician Success Specialist focused on ensuring you have a seamless candidate journey. If you are a therapist, you can actually start within 4 weeks of signing your agreement. Everyone within the organization is very accessible, and open to ideas around how to improve the client experience and deliver on the mission of the organization. Come see for yourself!

I love working at Happier Living. Overall, great work-life balance, excellent management, and a true sense of purpose performing my duties.

Releasing new features to help people get the help and care that they need is very rewarding. Management is respectful and encouraging. This company helps you grow your skills at a rapid rate, as there is a lot of work to be done.

Overall this is a very small company, so expect to have your fingerprints on the success of the company. You will learn a lot by wearing many different hats in your role. Everyone here is friendly and helpful. I hope to continue my career at Happier Living for a very long time!

In any authentic relationship – most importantly, the relationship with ‘self’ – the concept of reconciliation must be present in order for that relationship to grow.  Those who are in healthy, growing relationships know this to be true.  Inherent in that reconciliation, must be a sincere acknowledgment of wrongs that were said or done.  Oftentimes, that might come in the form of an apology, an admission of faulty thinking, or other actions that indicate a capacity to be humble, vulnerable, and selfless.  There are times when you have to apologize for the pain of the other, even when you don’t see yourself as the cause of that pain. Reconciliation is more about love, compassion, em

I thoroughly enjoy my role, making an impact & have a collaborative team. The mission is holistic focused while attracting valuable clinicians and placing them in roles they can thrive long term. I am constantly challenged, which I enjoy and the management team consistently asks for feedback and ways to improve, which is important. It is a high paced work environment which may not be for everyone, but I enjoy my role and how supported I feel along the way.
