Two Chairs

There are two positions at this company, Network and Full Time. If you are a Network clinician you are a W2 employee so taxes are taken out, etc. The pay is decent but the only benefit is 1 hr of sick leave per 30 hrs worked. If people no show you get paid, if someone cancels 48 hrs in advance, you don't. You can't use sick leave to make up missing hours due to cancellations. They do a lot of metrics and clients have to answer 4 check in surveys before the appointment. They do 1 paid meeting per month.

If you are licensed in multiple states you can only see clients in ONE State. This company has offices in 3 states and the mental health compact is launching later this year.  Another item that leaves a lot to be desired is most contact with a supervisor or coworkers is by G Chat. You can book a 15 min call with a supervisor. I've asked for help via G Chat, stuff was promised to be provided like internet resources, and it's fairly low that you'll get helpful information from the supervisor. Another limit is if they over hired you can only get 1 client per week as a referral. If you have 3 people graduate that week, it takes about 2 weeks for a client to get started, and you're out that income for almost a month. 



Former Employee: The pay is low for a W-2 position especially since they charge $200 for therapy sessions.  They over hire and do not have clients to give to therapist. The majority of the therapist see 2-4 clients at the most during the week. They do not offer any support. They will tell you to research everything but then micromanage your documentation and hours. They expect a quick turnaround for client success and documentation. They try to make you work with clients outside your expertise and clients that are not suitable for a lower level of care. They expect miracles via virtual counseling for clients that would be a challenge in office. Let alone virtually. They will have you discuss their Quality Based Measures at nauseum throughout the sessions. Which, takes up precious therapy time. It will reduce the sessions to Solution Focused Therapy at best. The company has microwave thinking. They want everything quick, fast and in a hurry. If you value delivering ethical mental health therapy and your license this is not the company for you.

If you are independent and know your way around technology, can follow directions and don't mind doing trainings that's a good start. It can be quite training heavy for awhilte to get onboarded and even after there is some trainings here and there.  That can be the hardest part. Figuring out where to find answers on the systems can be tricky. The culture is a bit distant due to the techy piece unless you want to do in person or go full time, I would say. The best part by far is the flexibility to work as much or little as you please!  If you do go full time, they offer lots of neat little perks and bonuses like extra bucks for self care purchases and health care benefits, etc.  You work M-F, and you can work as early as 7 am online.

What is the best part of working at the company?
My clinical managers are super supportive, knowledgable, and get sounding boards. I work part time, am a mom, and I feel like I have the flexibility to do my job well on my own time. Plus, the pay is great in comparision to my last employer. AND they really do care about client progress and outcomes... something not really reviewed in much detail at other mental health tech companies. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There can be many company changes since it's still in a startup phase. But I will say all of the changes made are ran past clinicians and clinical leaders first for feedback, plus are made with the intention to improve the clinician and client experience. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Thoughtful, outcomes-driven, community oriented (even though we're remote first!)

Two Chairs and the people that work here have continued to inspire and impress me. I have never worked somewhere that prioritizes and talks about my experience as an employee or where discussing psychological safety in the workplace has a voice. The culture is influenced by clinician led consult groups and there is so much to be involved in. You never feel isolated or without support in your work. The compensation is more than competitive. The thoughtfulness in additional incentives makes work motivating. I feel proud to come each day and I have a leader who supports my growth. This has been rare in previous work settings and it is relieving to feel free to do the work that I love day in and day out amongst my colleagues. It makes it feel like the harder work days are a challenge worthwhile working in the mental health space. I appreciate the high bar and quality standards in place. 

Amazing matching staff+system for clients-therapists, talented engineering team, clinical directors and measurement-based care. As a therapist,  I not only feel truly invested in my work with clients but also in the success of the company itself. 
 My clinical team is my work family and there's wonderful communication from the top. Our CEO is a genuinely good human who is so intelligent and   empathic.

2 or 3 years ago I probably would have given this place 5 stars. It used to be a great place to work. We had a lot of camaraderie and collaboration with other clinicians and even with upper management. And then like all small companies that are successful, they wanted more. As a result, the agenda became about faster client turnover, higher productivity requirements, and less clinician autonomy has really eroded my enthusiasm for this company. It’s been a heartbreaker because it used to be such a great company and now I am looking elsewhere. What a shame. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Lots of supervision and peer support

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Defining  ‘successful therapy’ as short-term; too data driven

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly, supportive - having growning pains

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
5-6 sessions a day with clients
Weekly group and ind supervision
9-5

My skills are well utilized here at Two Chairs, the flexibility enables me to be a professional mental health clinician w/o sacrificing the joy of being a parent. 

Two Chairs has a beautiful mission of making it easy for everyone to have access to quality mental healthcare. The company is still relatively young, so there is still ambiguity here and there, so I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like that type of environment. The team is amazing and the company truly cares about work and life balance and wellness.
