Beyond Behaviors

I worked for this agency many years ago. I agree with Cris L. Don’t work there. I have a TERRIFIC job now with a different agency who really puts the mental health of the client first and treats the staff professionally and with high esteem. Even staff members who were highly talented and knowledgeable were fired at the drop of a hat at BB. I wasn’t fired, but chose to leave because the owner treated me extremely unprofessionally. I have directed counseling programs myself and would never think of treating a co-​worker like she treated me.

The owner of this company is an example of a business savvy woman. Clearly she knew what to do and say to get a government contract despite her lack of knowledge of the mental health field. I worked for this company as a clinician and I have serious doubts about why they are making decisions about child welfare and counseling. The owner of the company is not a therapist or social worker. The owner is all about making money at whoevers expense. I had to suggest that a lady loose her children despite seeing her do her best to get her kids back. The lady had a limited IQ and limited resources! It was not fair to JUDGE HER! Thats what they wanted me to do, JUDGE my clients. I worked late hours in high crime areas in attempt to get hours. They basically made me a spy – which is the total opposite of what therapist do.
These poor clients dont have a chance in court. Its not fair to hire educted savvy people to testify in court against the clients they have worked with! This job almost changed my desire to help people. The owner is a nasty, horrible person. Stay away from this quack!

I took a chane and moved to DC to further my career as a counselor at this so called company. It is a place the provides mental health services that is run by someone who has no credentials to be running this business. I am a hard worker and have excelled at every other organization where i have been employed. I was basically fired for not producing enough «hours» basically making them enough money BUT was never supported and give clients in a timely manner. They are judging, critical and darn right nasty to the clients (and their employees– my supervisor secretly confessed to me that the owner talked about me and others in a derogatory manner & blamed us for client’s outcome in court etc). They expect you to do things that will pay more and get them more business even though it is apparent that is not in the clients best interest. It was the worst year of my life. I cried every day after working here a while & then subsequwntly became unemployed and struggled for a long time until finding a much better and supportive job. DO NOT WORK HERE!!! And most of all do not contract them to work with your clients!!!
