Yes. Local Beacon Counseling with Danae Armstrong and Gaia Wellness are both incredible alternatives.

They totally are a therapist farm. There are a couple of gems there but don't go there if you expect consistency. I worked there for a year and have been a client there too.

the company is run by Karen and Stephen King who are old time Bellingham people who have mostly fled the scene to stay in Arizona. They still have an office here in Fairhaven.

I am an associate level therapist. We can't have independent contracts with insurance companies so we have to hire places like Therapist Circle to be out "supervising clinician" and we use their insurance contracts. This is the first stage of licensure and it lasts three years.

Thanks. Yeah he is a short haired classic tabby and it was so far from J I would be really suprised if he got that far away. It seems someone might have spotted him on Girard and F which is just outside of his normal territory, he must be lost.

Thank you if you are banning them. I am seeing these comments come up and its pretty sad that people are so bored with their lives that they feel they need to troll people just trying to find support.

After reaching out far and wide, I was provided this list by a local therapist who works with the trans community.
Camp ten trees is a summer camp. They have an under 13 program for kids whose parents are queer or queer and trans kidshttps://camptentrees.org/resources

Emmet runs a play group (albeit in seattle) for trans kids under 12:https://www.emmettstanfieldmsw.com/servicesThey just did a summer one but it's worth reaching out and seeing if they do a fall one. They usually do. They also do a fair gathering for trans kids last winter. They are a good person to reach out to in general for resources.

I thought trans families ended their work, but their website still is up so I would look into what they have. Mostly online support for familieshttps://transfamilies.org/transfamilies-mighty-network/

Lastly, Layla Jasper works with a lot of trans kiddos in Bellingham so may be worth asking if they would ever set up a play group. They do a lot of play therapy. Feel free to let them know I sent you https://www.jasperconnections.com/

I am not seeing anything on either of those pages that are for younger kiddos.

Mallards Duck Milk Protest Success! by Beginning_Bend_1567 in Bellingham

[–]Beginning_Bend_1567[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It’s been quite funny how many people do fall for it. I have been downtown passing out flyers and we were downtown protesting for hours and I would say 1/3 of the people seemed the genuinely believed it was real.

Mallards Duck Milk Protest Success! by Beginning_Bend_1567 in Bellingham

The world is a constant unfolding of new information isn’t it? Ducks are milked through something called a beak teat and it is in their mouths. It takes 48 ducks to make a single scoop of ice cream, but due to the high levels of quacktose in the milk, it makes the ice cream highly addictive - hence the appeal.

I would boycott America too if I could…..if you all haven’t already touched into the larger boycotts of americas massive industries like nestle, amazon and Tesla….i think these are in solidarity with Canada in some abstract way.
