QUESTIONS THERAPISTS SHOULD ASK POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS || For counselors, therapists & social workers

Are you a therapist preparing for an important job interview? Congratulations on reaching this stage in your career journey! As therapists, it's not just about impressing the potential employer with your skills and experience; it's also crucial to gather essential information about the position and the organization to ensure a perfect fit for your professional goals and reduce the chances of burnout.
In this comprehensive video, we bring you a compilation of essential questions to ask a potential employer at the end of an interview for therapists, social workers and mental health practitioners.
Remember, the interview is a two-way street, and asking insightful questions will not only showcase your genuine interest but also help you make an informed decision about your future workplace. In this video we breakdown questions to ask if you are going into private practice versus agency. So many therapists burnout or end up in unsustainable job settings, hopefully these questions help you vet out any red flags.

Why cant you do interview questions for therapeutic jobs

[@jonmorales9876]

Hi! Any chance you can make a video of how to keep track of hours? I have to complete my 3,000 hrs.

[@allyssapowers]

Do you use an EHR system? Simple Practice had a way to view all my hours from any range of dates I selected,

@@allyssapowers- not sure to be honest. I work for a non profit, we use Therapy Notes and just started part time at private clinic and they use Simple practice.

@@jonmorales9876 Both of those EHR systems should have a way for you to total up your hours, I did mine after I hit the two year mark, but you could do it sooner to see how you're averaging.
