Testimonials from Employees
When I saw there was a clinician opportunity at Brave Minds, I knew I had to jump on the opportunity to apply, and there has not been one second that I regretted that decision. Working with Dr. Fawn, the clinicians, and the administrative staff at Brave Minds Psychological Services, is by far the most rewarding and fulfilling experience of my career. You would be hard pressed to find a team that is as supportive as the one we have here and I, for one, look forward to a long and happy career with them.
Since coming onboard at Brave Minds I have grown as a therapist in ways that I had only dreamed of. The opportunities to learn from Dr. Fawn and my colleagues have been fundamental to my growth as a therapist. I have never felt more fulfilled in a place of employment as I do now.
The work we do at Brave Minds is not easy work, but there is never a day where I close the office door behind me and feel that I can’t do it again tomorrow. The biggest reason contributing to knowing I can do it again the next day is because of the support, the guidance, and the mentorship that I have been afforded here at Brave Minds.

As a therapist working at Brave Minds, what inspires me most is our commitment to preventing the spread of intergenerational trauma. Trauma is something that happens that changes the way you view and interact with the world around you. Trauma not only has a lasting impact on the individual, but if not treated can impact generations to come. At Brave Minds we understand the science behind how trauma impacts the brain and body, the ways in which we experience trauma from our ancestors, and the ways it can impact your future lineage. We are committed to supporting our clients in doing the healing work to stop the ongoing impact of their painful life experiences. We create a safe space to empower the cycle breakers and teach them the skills to overcome the challenges that come along with healing generational trauma, such as advocating for yourself and setting boundaries.
Each day when I come to work at Brave Minds, I witness the power of healing trauma, and the widespread impact it can have across generations. It is an honor to create a healing space for individuals to continue to do the brave work of overcoming the impact of trauma, and to witness how this work benefits not only my clients, but generations to come.

Working at Brave Minds has been a breath of fresh air in my professional life. BMPS is a solid practice that encourages a positive, non-competitive environment. One of my favorite parts of the job is working with Dr. Fawn. I have learned a great deal from Dr. Fawn who is knowledgeable, respectful, available when needed, and supportive of my professional development. I also greatly enjoy the clientele I work with and the office space I work in. I appreciate the positive experiences I’ve had here and look forward to staying here long-term.
Lauren Grossbach, LMFT
Being a part of the Brave Minds team has given me the greatest opportunity for growth personally, as well as professionally. When you feel valued by your clinical director as well as the other therapists, it creates an environment that fosters a passion and appreciation for the work we do here. I began working here as a graduate student and was given a glimpse of what my future would be like as a therapist. That was invaluable to me. Working for Dr. Fawn is truly a privilege, as she has taught me a great deal about the values and skills of being in this field.
Lisa Weiss, LCSW
Dr. Fawn McNeil-Haber is unflinchingly dedicated to fostering a work culture of cooperation, mutual support, mutual growth, and professionalism. I have been given ample opportunities to learn and develop personally and professionally through individual and practice-wide trainings, ever-available mentorship, and peer supervision. In my time here I have gained experience of immeasurable value that I am positive will prove useful for the rest of my career, though at this point I cannot foresee leaving this practice anytime soon. This is an excellent practice at which to begin or elevate a career as a psychotherapist.
Linda Farag, LSW
Brave Minds Psychological Services is an absolutely ideal place to work. The working environment, which includes the therapy staff, administrative team, and office space, are completely unmatched among any other environment I have been in. The willingness from every staff member to help with anything at any time made me feel so comfortable asking questions from the start. The support and guidance I was provided during my time have helped me to grow tremendously. I am extremely grateful for everything Brave Minds has done for me. If you’re looking to dip your toes into the world of private practice, Brave Minds will undoubtedly teach you everything you need to know while setting the bar impossibly high for anywhere else you might end up.
Jess Johnson, MSW, Previous Scheduling Specialist
I have had a wonderful experience working at Brave Minds Psychological Services. Moreover, I have learned so much about private therapy practices which has enhanced my knowledge base and career goals. I value and appreciate working in a very supportive and professional atmosphere. Dr. Fawn is more than a Clinical Director, she is a true mentor and I feel very lucky to have met her and to be a part of her amazing team here at Brave Minds!
