VCounselors

I am greatly enjoying my time with VCounselors! I began almost exactly a year ago, and have been able to advance to a Team Lead position. The culture is very high morale! We’re extremely engaged with each other; to the point where I’ve felt more support, being fully virtual, than I have in-person jobs. I’ve really appreciated the constant praise we receive; management is not afraid to show love and gratitude to the clinicians! I began full time & they had my schedule full my very first week. The demand for accessible mental health care is ever-growing. I feel so blessed to be able to provide accessible care, through this amazing organization. Flexible. High morale. Great patients. Amazing administrative support (I mean phenomenal). I feel no stress working here. 

I like working at VCounselors and the clients I receive from referrals are a good match with my scope of practice. However, I was told in the interview that the average insurance reimbursement would be higher than what I am actually getting paid. There is a 60/40 split, which is normal for group practices. Even so, I do not see how we are supposed to reach the advertised yearly income unless we consistently see 25-30 clients per week.  I am a little disappointed with the small number of clients I have received so far. Also, some of the expectations for participations are more appropriate for employees, not independent contractors. Overall, the company has high standards and I like working with my clients.



This company wants to call you a  contractor but treats you as an employee without the pay.  Very one sided.  They want to hold you to a contract but then don't provide the work to meet the requirements.  They are not client centered since it is all a gimmick to get clients to have to stay and pay longer driving up personal and insurance costs.  They package it as value based care but it is coerced care not based on the client needs or desires.  

When trying to get clients ethically transferred, they want to hold you to a contract yet not provide what is ethically needed for the client or what is in the contract.  



What is the best part of working at the company? Serving the community and helping them receive mental health services.  What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Just like with any other counseling job, it can be stressful and can create burnout if you’re not taking care of yourself. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Conducive to learning, improvement and growth What is a typical day like for you at the company? I make my own schedule, I just let the scheduling department know my availability and they make the appointments with the clients 


Over the past year of working with the company, the of one things that stands out the most is the amount of communication and support received from all employees. They are open and flexible about your schedule (as long as they are given proper notice) and help you secure a large desirable case load. The staff are great with providing a supportive atmosphere, even though we all work from home, I still feel like I have my team surrounding me daily with encouragement and knowledge. Office managers are great with questions and are quick to help any problems or contact clients when necessary. 

I have had a pretty full schedule since beginning earlier this year. I make my own schedule and take time off when necessary. There are CEUs and case consultations available each month. Team is available throughout the day and are quick to respond. TherapyNotes platform is user friendly and the hardest thing I have come across is getting the documentation completed. That is an ongoing thing regardless of the company. The staff is very supportive. 

Pros

*Set your own hours (minimum 20 hours a week)
* Free CEUs (once a month)
* Team leads really have your back
* You get put in a team that is really supportive 
*Good and consistent referral source. My caseload is always full. 
*Assigned office staff that takes away all of my admin work (besides clinical notes)
*AI feature for faster note taking

Cons
* You have to attend CEUs in person to get credit
* You don't get a no show rate for government insurance so you just loose out and these spots tend to cancel a lot (this is everywhere though)

After five years in education, teletherapy has really exploded as a viable option for therapists who don't want to have their own office. VCounselors took care of the insurance credentialing process, which was incredibly helpful. After six weeks working for them, they have been nothing but helpful and understanding. The opportunity for consulting with fellow professionals is very helpful.

There is no typical day with a remote position. I learned to get legal advice before I sign another contract. Management does not respect your experience or preferences. Workplace culture is 100% online, and you are expected to attend daily and weekly, unpaid, trainings with heavy marketing propaganda. Hardest part has been the continual waiting on new client assignments, and disappointment that I was led to believe something totally different in my interview.

I appreciate the flexibility to work with VCounselors and their amazing support staff. The systems are easy to navigate with patients, and if there are any issues I am able to get them resolved within a timely manner. Being completely virtual it was important to find an organization that had opportunities for engagements with other clinicians. Free monthly CEU's and monthly consultation meetings give me additional clinical support on cases.
