Best company I have worked for in 10 years in mental health. - Clinical Lead Therapist Willapa Behavioral Health Employee Review

We have had a new CEO for over a year now and she has provided an atmosphere that is positive, friendly and open. We have a lot of employees who have gone elsewhere then come back to us. We are working on developing competence working with our transgender population and with our LGBTQIA community. We have several staff who are part of the LGBTQIA community.

I have worked at WBH for 7 years this month. I have seen some turnover of management and staff, but we have less turnover than what is the national average for community mental health.

Flexibility of schedule Early-career experience with complex cases Several training opportunities Full benefits (coverage varies) Colleagues in WISe feel more like family/team than just coworkers PSLF available Regular experience collaborating with other agencies/departments

Extremely low salary offer Consistent expectation to take on more than required for no additional compensation Frequent turnover Dearth of community resources Clients are often challenging to work with due to stagnation, substance abuse, unwillingness to self-reflect, and belief that the child is the only one requiring assistance Frequently faced with ethical conundrums Little room for negotiation with management outside of WISe program
