The Mindful Lemon, Inc.

My experience working here was extremely disappointing. A typical day at work involved unrealistic expectations, poor communication, and a lack of support from management. Instead of fostering teamwork, leadership often created a stressful environment where employees felt undervalued and ignored.

What I learned was how important respectful leadership and a healthy workplace culture truly are. Unfortunately, this organization lacked both. Management appeared inconsistent, dismissive of employee concerns, and unwilling to address serious workplace issues.

The workplace culture was toxic. As a minority employee, I felt singled out and experienced behavior that I perceived as bullying and unfair treatment. Rather than promoting inclusion and respect, the environment often felt hostile and intimidating.

The hardest part of the job was dealing with the constant stress and lack of psychological safety. It became difficult to focus on providing quality work while navigating negativity and feeling unsupported.

The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with clients and a few compassionate coworkers who genuinely cared about helping others. They were the only bright spot in an otherwise unhealthy work environment.

I would not recommend this workplace to anyone seeking a supportive, inclusive, or professionally managed environment.

I come from a NPO/public sector background so the clients I have so far are on the pretty low to moderate spectrum. I absolutely love my clients since I'm working more with the age group I prefer - if you are from community mental health, you will experience a shift in clients' attitudes. 

However, I do think the workplace culture is fake and disingenuous. The meetings are kind of useless. There is not much autonomy in the scheduling aspect (I've read the company's responses to other reviews about this issues and I disagree). I have had 7 client days  few times a week and sometimes there is no time to breathe or use the restroom, and 30 minutes for lunch - come on. They also do not provide a device for clinicians to use, which is unfortunate considering the sensitivity of client info and the notes we do and the amount of time we spend providing services. There is also a lot of disconnect between admin and clients I believe because when a group of clients were reassigned to me, they were all surprised to see me not their original therapist.

They use Theranest, which is really easy and simple to learn - so the technical stuff is really simple. 

The Mindful Lemon places associates in an atmosphere where they can readily streamline their clinical care skills in a highly autonomous setting. If looking to accrue hours for licensure, TML will get you there in no time with a main focus on providing care to clients while receiving ample support from both group and individual/triadic supervision. 

TML has been formatted to let therapists actually DO therapy, hone their clinical craft, and not get caught underneath piles of administrative tasks such as scheduling and billing. Flexibility in both scheduling and location are added advantages to joining the TML team. Caseload requirements and additional logistics are discussed in initial rounds of interviews, so one is made aware of the expectations and standards upheld by their therapeutic practice. TML emphasizes an optimistic and forward-thinking approach to providing therapeutic services to their clients, thus allowing you room for growth and development as a clinician.  

Just some highlights from this horrible work experience: gaslighting and manipulation by upper management, micromanagement, unrealistically high caseloads that guarantee therapist burnout, profit-centered over client care, very minimal employee benefits, legal and ethical issues that negatively impact clients and put therapists in jeopardy, and toxic and hostile work environment that leads to panic attacks every time you get an email from upper management/ CEO. Don't believe what is pitched in the interviews, it's all a scam. There is such high turnover, and  the clients themselves will tell you that they have had several TML therapists in their short time with the agency. The Mindful Lemon is the worst employment experience I have ever had as a licensed therapist. 

I’ve had a wonderful experience working at The Mindful Lemon. The company genuinely prioritizes the well-being of both clients and employees. It’s inspiring to be part of a team that’s so dedicated to making a positive impact in people’s lives through mental health services.

One of the things I love most is the alignment of values. The Mindful Lemon stays true to its mission of providing quality care and ensuring that clients feel supported. It's fulfilling to work in an environment that values compassion, integrity, and innovation.

Overall, if you’re looking for a place where your work makes a meaningful difference and you’re supported in achieving your professional goals, I highly recommend The Mindful Lemon.

I have been working at TML for a little over a year and I absolutely love the company and the structure. When I came to TML I was focused on my mental health after having commuted for so long and I was concerned on how I would transition from an in-person role to a virtual role, I am so happy I made the transition. I love the happy hours, the team environment, our chats, and our in person meetings when we get to have them. 
It is an adjustment when you are not used to working remotely but you do get used to the flow once it picks up.  I enjoy working with my peers and learning new things about everyone, it is a supportive environment and its made as enjoyable as it can be considering we are working. 
We use Insync notes and Zoom for our sessions and Outlook. 

I am currently working at the mindful lemon as a full time LMFT.  I would highly recommend the mindful lemon to any lmft who wants to work remotely, appreciates a collaborative team, and needs financial stability. The owner of the company and all of the supervisors are very supportive and kind. I have been able to take off days when I need and create my own weekly schedule with hours that work with for my needs as well. It can feel challenging at times to maintain energy for the week because we are scheduled so many clients, but because of it, full time employees also get great benefits and a stable salary which is very much appreciated. Even though it is all remote, I still feel very much connected to the other therapists which is nice for whenever I need support with clients, resources, etc. 

Working at The Mindful Lemon has been an incredibly positive experience. I’ve grown so much as a therapist here, both personally and professionally. The hands-on training, including group and triadic supervision, has helped me build strong clinical skills and confidence in my work.

The leadership team is wonderful  the supervisor is knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in your growth. The CEO and staff are kind, compassionate, and always willing to support you when needed.

Another great aspect is the flexibility you can create your own schedule, which really supports work-life balance.

I truly appreciate the administrative support TML provides to it's clinician. I thoroughly enjoy being able to focus my energy and time on serving clients and knowing that all the backend work into maintaining a business is handled elsewhere. This is the first practice I've worked for where it's a salary based pay and this provides me with increased confidence and security. Additionally, my colleagues are all very interactive, even being remote, and supportive of one another. I'm very happy to work for TML at this point in my career.

“A great mental health company sets clinicians up for success, then gets out of their way.” Unlike other remote mental health companies that are run by tech people , Mindful Lemon is run by an actual Therapist who understands the position and our field. This is a great job for clinicians who want to work with clients (that are a good fit for their practice), reduce admin tasks and completely eliminate the stress of marketing and referrals. Mindful Lemon will provide your caseload and they are passionate about breaking down barriers for client’s access to treatment. You set your schedule and there is no micromanagement . This is a great place to work.
