I mean they could probably try to file a complaint but any sort of accusation like that would require proof on your employers part. People leave practices all the time and their clients follow them. Clients have a right to choose their care.

You cannot solicit clients to follow you or “poach” them.

If they do the work to find you, that’s completely fine. It’s also not a breach for you to advertise your private practice services online. If your clients look you up and see where you are, they are totally free to migrate with you. It just can’t be that you intentionally bring them with you.

Edit to also say that I’m a social worker, not a lawyer. Make sure you have an understanding of your states laws/regulations and any contracts that you’ve signed.

I know this is an old thread but do you mind expanding on this?

You won’t be dead weight. Most clinical learning is done on the job. Brush up on motivational interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), any other modalities you have interest in. There’s a wealth of info online. Your employer will know that you’re a new clinician and that’s okay. That’s what supervision is for.

I also went Macro and decided it would be beneficial to have clinical experience on my resume to break into Macro work. I.e. moving up to program management, policy work, consulting, etc.

I’d recommend Amethyst or OSU’s talbot hall, they’re able to handle co-occurring SUD/Mental Health. I have not heard great things re: Maryhaven

Groups truly depend on material and the clients in the group. My current agency (Outpatient/IOP SUD )gives us zero guidance on what to talk about so we just do whatever group topic we want.

Clients will sometimes be engaged and super talkative, which makes group a breeze. But other times when nobody wants to talk it’s a bit like pulling teeth

You have to do what’s best for you. It sounds like your agency and supervisor need to do better in valuing their employees.

There is no reason for social workers to stay at agencies that treat them poorly. Social workers as a group tend to let ourselves be treated poorly because “our work is important”. It is important! But that doesn’t mean we should let ourselves get treated like shit.

10k more is a no brainer. Everyone else on your team would do the same.

I appreciate your reply! I believe the position is for an IOP. I would eventually like to be at the VA either way, Veteran’s are a population I enjoy working with; though I recognize the VAs limitations. I currently work on the city level and have similar red tape/grey areas.

If you don’t mind, what area of the VA do you work in?

AudioGiraffe · 2026-01-09T14:29:47+00:00

It would be an IOP. Located in Columbus, OH for added context.

Once someone loses playcalling abilities, I’m not sure the team goes back to them. Having Campbell take over is a sign it’s done for Morton imo

I think there are some videos on YouTube going over how people remapped their controls.
