When you’re looking to join forces with a practice that respects your autonomy — whether it’s your first post-licensure role or a move away from burnout — it’s easy to focus on surface details: hourly rates, office space, or how many referrals they promise.
But those details only matter if the core is solid. Here’s what really makes a practice the right fit — for your clinical work and your wellbeing.
Support Without Micromanagement
You don’t need someone hovering over your notes. But you do need reliable admin systems, responsive leadership, and peers you can turn to when a case is tough.
✅ At CSBH: We provide all the back-end support — billing, admin, EMR, credentialing — so you can focus on therapy. Our leadership is accessible and therapist-informed, and you’ll never be alone unless you want to be.
Values That Match Yours
Philosophy matters. Look for a practice grounded in clinical integrity, growth, and a shared commitment to both client and clinician wellbeing.
✅ At CSBH: Our model is built around honoring your autonomy, prioritizing client care, and creating sustainable careers — not burnout culture.
Real Flexibility
Flexibility shouldn’t mean overwork. Choose a practice where your schedule, caseload, and pace are actually in your hands.
✅ As a W-2 clinician, you’ll have the structure of employment with the freedom to choose your schedule, client focus, and caseload — no forced referrals and no pressure to grow faster than you want.
You Deserve Belonging — Even If You Like Working Independently
Private practice often promises freedom — but what it doesn’t always provide is connection.
For many therapists, the dream of setting your own schedule and working one-on-one with clients comes with an unexpected side effect: professional isolation. Days go by without peer contact. You question a clinical decision or wrestle with a heavy case, and there’s no hallway consult, no “got a minute?” colleague moment, no case discussion where someone says, “Yeah, I’ve seen that too.”
At Creative Solutions, we’ve designed our group to preserve the independence therapists love, while also offering the connection they often miss. We’re not about forced team-building or obligatory team meetings. Instead, we offer:
Optional case consultation groups
Opportunities to connect with experienced colleagues for insight and shared wisdom
Opportunities to collaborate across specialties (when it’s mutually helpful)
A team culture where respect is baked in — and competition is left out
Belonging doesn’t mean giving up your autonomy. It means knowing you’re not alone in the work — even if you prefer quiet over constant interaction.
Whether you’re highly collaborative or more introverted, our goal is to make sure you feel part of a community that sees your work, values your presence, and makes room for your voice.
Growth Without Pressure
One of the biggest reasons clinicians hesitate to join a group practice is fear of being pushed too hard, too fast. Maybe you’ve heard the horror stories: unrealistic caseloads, pressure to accept every referral or meet arbitrary caseload targets.
We do things differently.
At Creative Solutions, we believe your growth as a clinician is a process — not a race. Whether you’re newly licensed and just starting to build confidence, or returning to practice after time off or burnout, we support your path, wherever you’re starting from. Here’s what that looks like in real terms:
You choose your caseload goals — and adjust them as needed
We help match you with clients that align with your strengths (and refer out when it’s not a good fit)
You’re never penalized for having boundaries, limiting hours, or needing time to recalibrate
We celebrate slow, intentional growth, not hustle-for-the-sake-of-hustle culture
Growth at your own pace means you get to define what success looks like for you — not what someone else decides you should be doing.
Ready for a Practice That Respects You?
We’re clinicians too — and we’ve built Creative Solutions Behavioral Health to reflect what therapists actually need: referrals, flexibility, admin support, and a team that’s got your back.
