We are looking for:

Someone looking to START with evening or weekend hours.

Someone who thinks of themselves as a business owner, and strives to provide exceptional service to our clients, in addition to exceptional clinical care (which are two different things).

Someone interested in conducting training/workshops or speaking with teams/companies or at conferences (not necessary, but an opportunity if interested).

The NGBH commitment:

Office space that is beautifully appointed.

Independent access to the encrypted, cloud based practice management software and email system.

Customized scheduling-our practice manager will schedule you completely, you can do this all yourself., or come up with some combination that works for you.

Near immediate filling of a schedule once credentialled.

Supportive of flexibility and autonomy in creating your own schedule, as well as areas of specialization. 

Assistance throughout the credentialing process.

Innovative, progressive model of reimbursement, and mentorship toward “graduating” clinicians to eventually run your own practice if that is your vision! 

Email a letter of interest and a CV to Jessica at info@behaveforward.com to initiate a conversation!  

The dopamine and serotonin that these suckers marinate in dictate your entire quality of life. All of us. It is a humbling fact. And unless you are NOT human, that means you too.

What does THAT mean you say? This picture is of neurons in your brain, and dendrites exist at the end of them. It is how the brain "talks" to itself. Sometimes there are mechanical challenges...and anxiety and depression are the result.

You do all kinds of things to manipulate the levels of dopamine and serotinin in your brain ranging from constructive to destructive behaviors. 

About 30-40% of my clients are men. In spite of a long career specializing in women's health, I am deeply committed to making mental health a priority for men. The recent deaths by suicide of some famous men have prompted me to out myself as having a specialty in working with men as clients in therapy. Here are some additional thoughts.

Therapy is a contract between me and you. I do not view it at completely unconditional. That is, you have work to do too. But this business relationship is characterized by confidence and safety, veracity and a commitment to your well-being. Who the HECK would not want that?

While therapy is very much a relationship, it is a ONE WAY ALLIANCE. It is my job to protect the time and space for the benefit and growth of you. You do not have to worry about retribution for being honest, owning any unintentional outcomes, or having the energy to ask questions and listen in return.

If I could line up the head coaches, executive chefs, CEOs, construction workers, physicians or attorneys that I have seen thrive because of therapy-you would hesitate to disparage them, I assure you.

That being said-therapy is not for everyone.

There is some level of interest in self reflection, owning your stuff and use of language required. (Some women cannot do this either, by the way)

I have told clients that a better use of their money was a housecleaning service (to lower conflict around this at home, for example, as this was a huge stress) or a crossfit gym membership!

I am very pragmatic about the expenditure of resources and sometimes, therapy is not the place to spend.

Call and ask Jessica any of your logistics questions and see if she can schedule a short phone consult with me. If not me, someone else. You are worth being on the to do list.
