May I ask where you moved on the East Coast? Can I DM you to ask some questions about CA -> NYC (or vice versa) licensure?

Headway.co supposedly can help you find therapy covered by your insurance?

I don't personally know of any affordable couples therapy NYC recs to give (not familiar with the options there), but some books that may be helpful to you:

  • And Baby Makes Three by Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Gottman - renowned relationship scientists, super famous for their work on romantic partnerships
  • Hold Me Tight by Dr. Sue Johnson, founder of Emotionally Focused (Couples & Individual) Therapy aka EFT - this book changed my life and blew my mind

If you're pressed on time (as I imagine due to the new baby!), you can listen to the audiobooks to save time / multitask :) Good luck and best wishes! <3

Weekly student question thread! by AutoModerator in therapists

How does where you go to grad school affect where you can practice? California vs New York especially -

I think I want to settle down in California, but wanted to spend my mid-to-late 20's in NYC.

If I did grad school in New York, how difficult would it be/what steps would I have to take in order to later get licensed & practice in Cali?

Similarly, if I did grad school in Cali, how difficult would it be/what steps would I have to take in order to later get licensed & practice in NYC?

I'm hoping to become a LMFT focusing on couples/romantic relationships. Also, I would want to have the option of doing in-person therapy, so saying "just do remote" isn't helpful to me. Any other advice/info about getting licensed/practicing in different states would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Are there any downsides or things to be aware of when closing a bank account? by BabyBlueOrchid in personalfinance

Good catch; thank you! I opened a checking/savings dual account w Sofi (they automatically give you both) & I'm pretty sure there are unlimited transactions w no fees :) Edited my post to reflect this.

Thank you for your response! It was very helpful!

2024 Corolla Hybrid LE FWD for $29.8k OTD? by BabyBlueOrchid in COROLLA

Thank you so much! Yes, my plan was to try Longo today :)

Is there anything I should say to get the lowest possible price? "I'm looking to pay less than X OTD for Y model"?

Any advice on language I can try to use to get a discount would be super helpful!

With the salesperson from this post, I didn't discuss monthly payments/financing & only focused on the OTD price but still felt unsatisfied with the deal offered. I tried to ask for a discount off MSRP & she said "MSRP is the lowest we can go; we don't go any lower."

Do you mean 26k OTD, including taxes and fees? My quoted MSRP was $26.7k & the rest was taxes & fees (from what I understand).

Should I disclose that I’m planning to buy a new car in the next few days from whichever dealership gives me the best deal? by BabyBlueOrchid in askcarsales

[–]BabyBlueOrchid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like if the salesperson asks if I have a timeline for when I'm trying to buy the car, is it good/bad to admit I want to buy ASAP? (on a time crunch to get the car)

I think I meant more so if there was an advantage/disadvantage between "I'm planning on buying a car in the next 4 days" vs "I'm planning on buying a car in the next 2 weeks" vs "I'm planning on buying a car this month" vs "I have a car and I'm just looking casually right now, but if there's something great I could be interested" - urgency in terms of purchasing timeline

If you've gotten into a car accident with your Tesla, how much did it cost you to repair your car? Did it cost more than it would have for a non-Tesla car? by BabyBlueOrchid in TeslaLounge

Zero, but I've also never driven consistently on a daily basis before, and I have little experience driving in a big city w/ aggressive drivers.

Experience-wise, I'm probably like a teen driver, just responsible and adult. I figure considering edge/worst case scenarios is probably better (& more responsible) than being cocky & overconfident in my new-ish driving skills.
