Silver Lake Psychology

I have been working for SLP for 4 years now and have had a very positive experience. Working as an independent contractor can be scary and confusing, but SLP was helpful in getting me set up with their practice and receiving an incoming flow of client referrals. When COVID came, they made it easy to switch over to Telehealth and figure out how to adjust to the new way of living. 

One of the people who has been very helpful is Christen, the Program Director. She actually interviewed me and has been my point of contact for all major questions since I started. She has constantly been responsive to me and figured out answers for all my questions. I dont think I would have still been working there if it wasn't for her. 

Overall, I would recommend this practice for anyone who is looking for flexibility, helpful staff, regular client referrals, and reasonable pay. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I have worked for Silver Lake Psychology for over 3 years as an independent contractor, and the best part of working for the company is the INDEPENDENCE AND SUPPORT!! They are an excellent "hands off unless needed" team and they truly care for their employees well being.  Excellent care is provided to the clients and it really is like a Private Practice without the lonely administrative work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I truly can't think of anything stressful about Silver Lake Psychology.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly, engaging when needed, hands off, comfortable asking for help when needed and receiving it immediately from support staff and the Program Director, Christen.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work from my home office, see 5-6 clients per day, write my notes, schedule for the week and that's it!

I absolutely love being a part of the Silver Lake Psychology Team!  I have never felt as fulfilled or satisfied with a job as I do now. The work itself is rewarding, but I feel very appreciated and valued here as well.  The owner, Brandy, has built an amazing practice with a solid foundation, positive mission, and forward-thinking goals. I couldn’t be happier to help support her vision in whatever way I can and couldn't ask for a better role model.

It had always been my dream to find a forever workplace. Somewhere to grow and develop my personal and professional skills while helping the company grow and continuing to learn.  I am so very proud to represent a company like Silver Lake Psychology and so happy to have found my workplace home!

Great training place for private practice. 
I worked there for two years as a contracted therapist. The session rate was appropriate to my experience and it was easy to start taking insurance through their group contracts. I enjoyed full control over my schedule and caseload, and the management is really responsive. Paid weekly. Ongoing workshops, meditation sessions and trainings offered. Unlike other group practices, they are totally supportive of their contractors moving on to expand Into their own practice. Silverlake helped me make that transition, while having steady referrals from silverlake when I needed them. Awesome place! 

This is a great place to work if you are looking for freedom and consistency. You make your own schedule and decide how many clients you want to take on - I received no pressure to take on more or less than the amount I wanted to see. Admin staff handles advertising, billing, and matching you with new clients so, as a therapist, my only job is to see my clients and write my notes. On the clinical side, Dr. Engler has always been available and helpful when I have questions. Admin has done an amazing job matching me with clients that I connect with, many of whom I have been consistently working with now for over a year. I can take off days or half-days without requesting approval from a supervisor. I also really appreciate that SLP works with insurance, because it's important to me that I am able to provide services at an affordable rate.

First of all they have a fantastic support staff!  They are super friendly, attentive and have your back as they assist with insurance claims, initial scheduling and connecting you with clients whose needs line up with your therapeutic style and specialization.

Your schedule is up to you, so you can make it fit your needs.  Because everyone is on their own schedule, there may not be much of an opportunity to build peer relationships, but there are peer consultation groups that are helpful.

Dr. Engler is open to discuss concerns, cases and offer support and makes herself available.  She has also offered couples counseling classes which is her specialization and was a great training experience to expand my skillset.  

Silver Lake Psychology is a great place to work if you are needing flexibility and wanting job and work/life balance. The staff is very supportive. The therapists are able to speak with the owner for guidance on clients or have the ability to attend weekly supervision if needed. Silver Lake Psychology also allows you to work for yourself and build your private practice. The staff is very supportive in therapists doing this, which is not common in other group practices. Silver lake also provides trainings. Some of the trainings you will have to pay for, but at times they will provide some kind of deal where you can get money back if you take clients that are needing support in that specific training. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being an Independent contractor and having some independence with clients.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Receiving persecuting emails about not doing a good enough job, even though I had excellent client rapport and feedback, also notes were always completed in a timely manor. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture use to be so fun and positive, there was some management changes that really moved away from the original philosophy. The CEO used to be engaged and involved and it was like she disappeared.

I have enjoyed every interaction with everyone I work with at SilverLake Psychology since the first day I started. I was given all information about work upfront and all information and communication from the beginning has been cleat and helpful. 
I appreciate the weekly therapist meeting that is available, as well as all of the support with insurance set up and follow through, and the seminars and CEU credit opportunities that are given. I am so happy with my choice to work with SilverLake, and the people involved who truly care about clients and the work being done.

I absolutely love working for Silver Lake Psychology! The culture of the organization is amazing and unlike anything, I have ever experienced in the workplace. The team is very supportive and always ready to help! I love the Silver Lake Psychology mission. The services we offer are affordable and accessible to clients and that is important to me. I love that there is always room to grow and learn and that the leadership team is invested in growth and learning opportunities for the staff.
