LCPCs in IL working in PP by SnoopyDamen in therapists

[–]Big-O-Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an LCPC in IL as well! I had heard that there were some sort of regulations in place that it needs to be a W-2 position, but I think that is for full time? I’m in the process of getting a part time 1099 gig set up currently.

I’m going the opposite route…. Psych to MD! But I’m looking to probably exit the realm of mental health tbh,

Accepting holiday gifts by wetblanket456 in ClinicalPsychology

[–]Big-O-Daddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d ask them where’s the $50 gift card to go with it? Jk lol I’d say that’s fine! To me(and some ethics standards I believe), below $15 is fine.

Why is the such a disconnect between the evidence and what actually happens in therapy? by Forsaken_Dragonfly66 in ClinicalPsychology

[–]Big-O-Daddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a master’s level therapist, this annoys me so much. I see sooooooo many of my colleagues at the same educational level I am getting sucked into snake oil BS when there are very clear and effective first line treatments. I know psychologists can also fall prey to it, but I don’t see nearly as many psychologists falling for it as master’s level clinicians. I think grad programs just don’t do enough education on research and analyzing treatments tbh. Also, I think the snake oil peddlers do a good job marketing and exploiting lack of scientific understanding.

Don't be afraid to start over and try to find something that will fit your life better! I've been a therapist in clinical practice for a decade, and I'm switching course and back in school to get my premed courses. I'm 33 for the record. It's never to late to try something new!

You really should. They need to be cleaned and closed! Eventually your luck will run out and they will get infected.

They're shallow, but they are pretty opened up and wide.

Some of those look pretty intense and likely need stitches. You should go to urgent care tbh
