Positive Changes, LLC

If you send your child here you are hurting them even more. I have stood up to management for several months to try to make the environment better for the kids and I get pushed aside EVERY time. My input is not valued and so I'm left with hungry kids who feel angry and hopeless because they can't get enough food here at the program and we do litterly feed them portion sizes big enough for a kindergarten student. I have tryed to go above management because the staff who likes eachother will click up together against anyone who is different and who wont go with the flow. I cant stand for a bunch of adults who put down the kids to eachother no child should be called a lost cause. Its our job to give hope not discourage them further . I have witnessed my co workers bet on what kids will end up in jail or dead and talk about the parents of the kids saying they are all failures and some racial slurs and bashing of families that are different. Lets just say if your not straight and your kids are in question dont even think of this place as a placement.

Positive Changes is an exceptional company to begin a therapist career. I was hired on directly after graduate school and was fortunate enough to have my supervisor on-site. She did a wonderful job of helping me feel valued, encouraged and secure in my new role. She was flexible and allowed me to reach out whenever needed, which was significant as my therapeutic style developed. Now as a fully licensed therapist, I feel confident in my ability to serve families from diverse backgrounds. However, I also still have a team of people to support me if I do run across challenges. In the three years I have been here, the company has always promoted a team environment that helps its employees thrive and feel supported. Leadership encourages self-care and have always been flexible in ensuring staff has a solid work/life balance. Highly recommend if you are looking for challenging but gratifying work with children and their families.

This organization has really grown over the past few years. A few years ago there was a change in upper management and it trickled down to the facilities and the work environment got significantly better. The organization is truly compassionate about wanting to help the kids that go there. The management team is supportive and willing to listen to the employees and make changes. All the staff work really well together and support one another. If I hadn't moved I would still be there. All these people that are giving bad reviews are either disgruntled because they got in trouble for not doing their job or are old employees that lived the wrath of the former upper management. It is an awesome place to work and it gives you a sense of purpose! Thank you Positive Changes for everything that you do and did for me when I worked there! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I worked here during a tumultuous time.  There was a lot of turnover, both with therapists, medical staff and life skills.  I hope that the company has started to come around since I left.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Rapid turnover, inter office gossip amongst employees/unnecessary employee drama.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was not the healthiest when I was there.  Lots of undermining of co-workers, backstabbing and talking behind each others’ backs.  I stayed out of it but it was difficult.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Seeing 3-4 clients per day, depending on the census, for either individual therapy or family therapy (60 minutes each), leading therapeutic groups twice a week (60 minutes each), updating treatment plans, organizing and writing up discharge plans, and completing daily progress notes for sessions.

Corporate office is being ran by people without the required experience to be CEO or COO. They are forcing out the last person at the corporate office that actually has the experience and knowledge to make decisions for the company. They currently made all salary employees now hourly and making everyone stick to a 40 hour week. You are not allowed to get overtime without prior authorization from supervisor. You can receive a disciplinary action if you do not get prior authorization from supervisor. Lifeskills are treated like our job isn’t important even though we deal the children more than the doctors, nurses, and therapists. Lifeskills supervisor does not stick up for his employees and will  throw you under the bus to save his job. I love working with the children and adolescences but management tries to micromanage your interactions with the clients your in direct care of on daily bases.

If you do your job and get your stuff done, be prepared to cover for everyone else that doesn’t. Say you want to take only 1-2 days PTO - be prepared to kill yourself to get those days as coverage for time off is a joke. One of the lead therapists is a joke as well and offers absolutely no support or help. Staff downstairs can be hateful, especially to the clients. Upper management is a joke as well as HR. They will change policy to fit situations they decide they don’t like on a whim. They tell you to bring concerns to them or file grievances but have no intention of ever helping or fixing anything. They come to Tulsa about once a week and never try to talk to the little people they mostly stay locked in offices doing corporate nonsense. The biggest benefit is the other employees mostly make work enjoyable. Employee morale as a whole at this facility severely lacks though.

The company is pretty fair. Your experiences may vary as their are different facilities with different management. The management at my office is great. Everyone is treated with respect and get a long great. The hardest part of the job is honestly dealing with the kids, as they can be more than taxing on the frustration level. That said all staff an management are supportive of one another and will definitely help out as needed. Again this is for my facility located in Bethany. I have had limited interaction with management at other facilities, but personally haven't had problems. That said  I can't provide an accurate description of those facilities because of that.

Positive Changes has a truly special team. The staff here are caring, collaborative, and always willing to support one another. There’s a strong sense of teamwork and shared purpose that makes it easy to feel connected and motivated. Everyone brings something valuable to the table, and that creates a great balance of professionalism and warmth. The leadership fosters open communication and mutual respect, and the overall atmosphere is uplifting and mission-driven. It’s a place where you can grow, feel appreciated, and be part of something meaningful.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Employee friendly and management truly cares about their employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being able to successfully help some of the clients due to needing a higher level of care.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great!  Everyone is made to feel a part of the team.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Seeing clients on my caseload, maintaining required paperwork, helping others when available.

I have always enjoyed working with kids and to help them with the issues they have.  Positive Changes allowed me to do that with a framework and curriculum that makes it easy to interact and do the job.  There is challenge but it is very rewarding helping the kids to achieve some of their potential.
