While working at Beehive, our clinicians agree to be properly licensed and abide by all laws, rules, regulations, and codes of ethics that are binding upon us as clinical professionals and as a practice.
We take pride in being responsive to our clients. Our clinicians agree to respond to clients’ requests for service or calls within 48 hours (24 hours whenever possible), whether such requests are made in person, by phone, voicemail, email, etc.
Our reputation in the community is that we are highly responsive also to treatment teams and referral sources, therefore we communicate in a timely manner with a client’s treatment team (i.e., PCP, psychiatrist, school, etc.) as necessary.
Documentation is an important aspect of our jobs and ensures a clear and complete history of our work with clients.

As clinicians, we are good stewards of the financial health of the practice by supporting our admin staff in their job of charging and collecting payments from clients for services we have provided.
We attend required staff meetings and trainings. We come together every 4th Thursday for our staff meeting, which focuses on building community with each other, learning, and having vulnerable conversations. We also offer peer-led group supervision twice monthly. We expect that you will prioritize these meetings as they are an important part of building a culture based on our values.
