Pros
A good place to get your feet wet in the mental health field. Good insurance plan.
Cons
My time at Arbor was very hit or miss. Mostly miss. BHT's are the lowest paid position in the building yet are expected to do the most work and are often receiving the short end of the stick of poor programming/clinical team. Therapists make no effort to help their patient outside of their one individual therapy session a week. Clients are in group for most of their day but the groups are run poorly and group facilitators do not follow the group rules that are expected of clients. The admissions department paints an unrealistic picture to prospective clients who end up becoming disappointed once they see they were misled. There is so much time and effort put into AMA blocking once this happens. Many clients are frustrated as the Arbor Wellness website promises EMDR but is not offered as there is no therapist on staff who is licensed in EMDR therapy, and if there was, there would be no way to accommodate all clients who would benefit from EMDR therapy. Admissions also accepts high acuity patients that Arbor is simply not equipped for which stresses the BHTs and nursing staff.
