I work as an AMFT in trauma, ptsd, addiction, and sexual abuse. I am EMDR certified - Recensione dipendente - Associate Marriage and Family Therapist presso Community Violence Solutions

Supportive staff dedicated to the advocacy of victims of abuse and each other.

Funding is always an issue. Subject to cuts.

CVS is a self-described feminist organization. There is a lot of effort put towards self-care with retreats, three mental health days a year (you can call in whenever you need without having to give a reason), and even International Women's Day off. They are very family friendly and flexible with scheduling to accomodate staff needs. The staff is also very supportive and sweet.

Not a ton of room for professional advancement. No natural mentors willing to step up and take you to the next level. Its pretty much a "do as you're told" environment. The board (in 2011) was also very conservative and not in line with ideology of management and staff.
