Daily Duties at California Psychological Associates:
I saw patients at this office in individual and group sessions, once a week when not seeing clients at the Wilshire Valley Therapy Center. On average, each week I saw 6-9 individuals and moderated groups ranging in size from 4 to 20. Once in possession of the initial assessments and treatment plans (performed by the psychiatrist and psychologist), I continued ongoing assessments of urgency of patients' needs, and for any risk factors such as danger to self or others. Integrated elements of different treatment modalities to maximize benefits to patients. Made recommendations to patients of supplemental community resources such as AA, Ala-Non, or socialization opportunities. Submitted progress notes on timely basis. Was available for case consultation with other professionals on team as needed.
What they like about California Psychological Associates:
The social vibrance of a hiring firm is very important to you. Your ability to make and maintain friendships there is a critical part of your decision. You would likely be dissatisfied with a workplace that is quiet, cold, or otherwise not particularly social. When you investigate a new hiring company, ask recruiters, managers, and potential co-workers about the social life and opportunities there. This is especially important when you are relocating; moving dramatically alters your social sphere both inside and outside the workplace.
