Pros
Willow has lots of good hearted therapists that work there and really care about their kids. These therapists work well with neurodivergent children but, may not be the most neurodiversity-affirming. The setting itself also have great sensory tools.
Cons
Management with very limited flexible thinking. Most of us therapists in the early days of Willow quit do to this. Owner states she is neurodiversity-affirming yet had many clients and staff members she made not affirming remarks to consistently. Management's cognitive inflexibility really impacted staff and clients alike. There was also no benefits that made sense for females or anyone with a regular prescription, establishing an ableist environment. The owner often made ableist comments to her employees and clients. Such comment included over arching statements of how nutrition can heal her staff members health, disregarding physiological conditions and neurodiverce neurotypes. Lastly, being this is an outpatient clinic being offered 2.5 to 3 weeks combined vacation and sick is very discouraging as sick children walk through the door daily and therapists are required to use their little time off to get better from sickness caught at the clinic.
