Pros
NOTHING.
Micheal will tell you there are so many clients and give you an inflated number of pay and thats just not true.
Cons
Biggest con in Micheal “the owner,” he wishes he was just a secretary and didn’t want to fix things till its to late.
He is negligent, incompetent, inappropriate and a manipulator. Works for a month without pay and where told it was due the clinicians incompetence when it was due to Michael’s negligence in responding to audit and submitting billing. Michael regularly would not check notes even when clinicians asked to go over that supervision. Supervision ended up being an hour or more of Michael talking at you about his own problems. Whether it was about his sexual assault or his trouble with substance issues or even his relationship problems.
Most clinicians and staff have left the practice at this time and most have still not been paid in therapy insights and Michael refuses to communicate with any of them and just ignores messages and calls.
Michael will hire new admin staff constantly and is even said he does not fire clinicians, he only fires administrative staff as a joke.
Even though he claims this is an LGBTQ+ practice he will misgender staff members and out them to clients or other clinicians.
Michael has an on again off again boyfriend that often times is a part of the practice while having no prior experience to working in an office or having any mental health training. His boyfriend will sit in on clinical meetings and will help excuse Michael’s inappropriate behavior.
There was talk from many staff members that he was also inappropriate boundary breaking relationships with clients. Michael will often share his agreement in Zoom meetings and leave his text messages up where people have seen messages to him and the clients of the nature.
