Bleuler Psychotherapy Center Reviews

Unreasonable caseload expectations (I saw 44 clients a week as a young clinician), low compensation for sessions, over-burdened supervisory staff with micro-management supervision style via text on microsoft teams while offering only 45 minutes face to face supervision every 2 weeks. The feverishly liability averse supervision around high risk issues instilled tension and paranoia in my clinical management of high risk clients for years following my time there. The company valued metrics and cost saving to the detriment of client care, and was exploitative of trainees and entry level clinicians. Mission statement of the company may as well be "what's integrity?"

Legit everything else. They’re liars. When I was hired I was told one thing for case load and number of sessions a week and how much supervision I get a week. Both changed with one email and no discussion. Breaks cut from 15 between sessions to 5, but you’re also told to fill every slot and if you don’t have a client do an intake because money and productivity are all that matter. They have work around lip service for doing all documentation on time but the real expectation is you do your paperwork on your free time. Management will ask for suggestions to improve but then never take any of them. Again more lip service but no results. Management will gas light and bully you when you’re behind and then ask why you didn’t fill every slot when you’re actually not behind. No joy or sense of growth. No clinical discussions in supervision unless forced and even then it quickly goes back to task management. My weekends were basically dreading going to work. And when the burnout, morale in the toilet and other issues are brought up management says, “it could be even worse.”
