-
We support your growth through social media and marketing content that most practices don't have in place.

We help you to grow clinically and become more than just a "sit and chat" therapist (but if you want to be a "sit and chat therapist" that is ok too).

Reasons You Might NOT Like Guidepost
We believe in honesty and transparency so we want to tell people what they might not like upfront so they can save themselves time, and skip the interview if they are not willing to do the following:
We have high expectations. We expect our therapists to provide evidence-based services, write great treatment plans, and track progress, so our clients can get world-class service.
You must keep precise documentation and keep a daily timesheet. We use these for accountability and to make sure our clients are being served properly.
We want our therapists to feel confident. If they are not, we are okay with that, but we expect them to come to us and tell us so we can offer help and support.
You can't cancel on your clients because you don't feel like talking to them that day. Cancellations are for emergencies only, but we can schedule mental health days if needed.
You must comply with our office policies. Policies are created to keep order and clear expectations, and we all know how much we need that!
We take care of our mental and physical health. If you do not walk the talk and do your own self care, you will not be a good fit here.
