What is the best part of working at the company?
The work was rewarding and the benefits were good. They were flexible with PTO and made reasonable accommodations when needed. Despite the negatives, I am grateful for the experience. It's a good place to get  your feet wet and learn what your limits are and what you're willing to put up with. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
- Understaffing
- Lack of professionalism and verbal abuse from department heads
- The pay was very low for the amount of work that was given to CM's
- Training for the types of individuals worked with was inadequate
- There was a focus on quantity instead of quality
- Caseloads were typically over 55
- Clients being mislead during intake and CM's having to course correct, which lead to a strain in relationships with clients from the very beginning

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It wasn't until I took another job that I realized how incredibly toxic and unprofessional the workplace was. A director from another department was constantly trying to bulldoze and "run" case management. Constantly starting arguments, berating case managers, supervisors and directors. If someone wasn't fired, their reason for leaving was typically this one individual. Despite complaints from many people over the years, they remained. It really drove home the fact that the agency doesn't really care about their employees.  There was a constant feeling of being on edge, micromanaged and/or humiliated.

Working at Interborough Developmental and Consultation Center has been an incredibly rewarding and inspiring experience. The organization's commitment to providing high-quality behavioral health services to diverse communities is unmatched. From leadership to front-line staff, there is a genuine sense of collaboration, respect, and shared purpose. The leadership team fosters a supportive environment where professional growth is encouraged and recognized. Training opportunities, open communication, and a true focus on employee well-being make it clear that Interborough invests in both its staff and the people they serve. The organization's strong emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion is evident not only in their programming but also in the way they value every team member's unique contributions. The culture here promotes teamwork, innovation, and compassion. Whether working directly with clients or supporting the clinical and administrative operations, every role feels impactful and valued. It's a place where mission-driven work truly meets meaningful change — both in the lives of clients and in the personal growth of employees. I am proud to be part of Interborough Developmental and Consultation Center and would highly recommend it to anyone passionate about behavioral health, community service, and professional excellence.

A typical day at work for me at IDCC was focused mostly on seeing clients for psychotherapy. My focus was on working with clients individually to address concerns regarding many mental health issues, including but not limited to; depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, trauma, ADHD, parenting, substance abuse and interpersonal relationship difficulties. My work also included connecting clients to additional support services when and where necessary which included coordination with organizations outside of the IDCC network. Additional responsibilities included supervision of social work student interns, which inlcuded review of their progress notes, treatment plans, intake assessments and any additional necessary documentation. Superivsion included clinical supervision and guidance for the students in helping them develop their clinicial and therapeutic skills, assessment of process recordings, and overall support and guidance in how to address their daily work with clients.

Interborough was a great place to work at for my fourth year clinical internship for grad school and I continue to work there as a fifth year student. I gained a lot of experience in mental health counseling and with using various forms of CBT while working with a wide array of mental illnesses and clients of all age groups. In addition, I enjoyed the work environment. The program director and assistant director are both extremely friendly and helpful and always there to answer my (many) questions. The only problem with the job is that it is fee for service. On a typical day, many clients do not show up to their scheduled session. No shows means no pay. We also do not get paid for the hours spent doing paperwork, including progress notes and treatment plans.



  After a four flight walk up, you’re expected to sit in a cramped, loud call center style room. No privacy provided,anyone can hear personal client information being exchanged. This company has no idea of the mental and physical work their employees put into meeting the clients where they are. The company is unaware of cultural differences that vary between individuals, that may impact in-person visits. The company is disconnected from their core values and the needs of the people they claim to serve. Strictly focused on billing Medicaid and their metrics regardless of clients need and wants.
The company has no regard or concern for the physical and mental well-being of their employees.




This is a good place to work to obtain hours for licensure. However, pay was very low considering how much paperwork we had to complete and how much we have to coordinate with patients. Most therapists would obtain their hours for licensure and leave immediately so turnover rate was very high. One positive is that supervisors were very helpful in providing feedback on counseling with different kinds of patients. Organization only provided insurance if therapist saw 35+ patients a week, which was difficult since patients were often non-compliant, which leads me to another issue--because the position was fee-for-service and most patients did not show up, pay was very low. No benefits offered, except sick days which had to be accrued.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I enjoy being able to provide the families with resources that they can actually use. I love the support I get from my Supervisor and co workers. They are the true definition of Team Players! The pay is good the hours are good plus we are hybrid remote, can’t beat that.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes you’ll have that one family that requests all your time, which can become overwhelming.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Calm work environment, everyone is respectful to all cultures.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical I’m out at the schools visiting my clients and talking with teachers, guidance counselors, or principals or vice principals. I’m in the office 1 day out of the week doing paper work.

Interborough provides excellent clinical experience and the staff their are super friendly and helpful. However the Williamsburg location I work at is not the safest and there aren't any windows inside the building; this makes it depressing inside. 

If you are looking for a place where you have your own space and you don't mind fee for service (if you don't speak spanish) this is the place for you. Williamsburg location gives a lot of independence and they trust their workers. The other therapists are friendly as well and help each other. 

Overall it is a very pleasant place to work however if you are fee for service it will be frustrated because most patients do not show up.

My work responsibilities are clearly defined, and as such, I can easily begin each day with the necessary tasks to be done, and end each day with the completion of those tasks.  Although there are days that are busier than others, I am able to fulfill my obligations without too much pressure.  The entire staff at Interborough is available to help and guide you if necessary.  The atmosphere at Interborough is unique, in that we feel like a family.  Each member of the staff, regardless of work position, age, nationality, is friendly, supportive, and if necessary, ready to listen and help.  I have had the opportunity to learn more  about human behavior at Interborough, of course, which helps me in my relation with others. 

I would say the best part of the job, is working with the people  at Interborough.

Management always unavailable when you need their help. However, coworkers were helpful and good to work with. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
In-person meetings with clients in my office via Zoom or phone calls. Stressed about submitting progress notes within 24 hours with a huge caseload. Chasing down clients for their signature for assessments. Working past 5:00 pm and not getting paid for the work.
