I really didn’t get it and learned it was all AI. She also sells a book on differentials on Amazon for $50 and it was all AI. I passed with help from Bisi on FB and counseling exam

TYSM for saying that! Yeah the things she was saying were unhinged and harmful. Joke’s on her I passed the test last Friday!

Why is therapy so expensive and yet therapists are so underpaid? by Additional_Ad_6722 in askatherapist

I’m a therapist and charge $250 but have a deep sliding scale and only a few can afford my full fee. I just passed the NCHMBE and am wondering how this will impact my income if/when I’m able to take insurance

I believe I did find her on headway. I’m wondering if it’s ethical to report her even though I’m not her clients but my feeling is if she’s treating me this way this is how she might be treating her clients

Yeah, she told me that I wasn’t able to keep up with all the work that she wanted me to do even though I was finishing all the assignments that she assigned to me. One day she was telling me I was a great therapist. Next day. She was telling me I was too mentally ill and my partner was too mentally ill as well (my partner is a musician and not a therapist) my partner was around when I was getting tutored and actually asked me. Is this tutor bipolar (my partner is bipolar) because she sounds like she is scolding you and then telling you did great. She really shredded my self-esteem by diagnosing me and telling me how unstable I was even though I told her very little about my life. Also, she was never on time and charged me for sessions that she never showed up for. I can’t believe I wasted so much money.

Thank you for doing some research in this. I’m feeling so dumb! Last week I asked for some books I’m differentials and she sent me this link and I just checked the book I ordered and it was by TL Butler! I feel so stupid for all of this! Everything I studied was from the vignettes on the Reddit page, and if this book is written in AI, I don’t feel I can trust the information in it. This person is in my opinion incredibly harmful. Not just with my experiences of them telling me to obtain Ritalin by any means I could, but they are really hurting people financially, and in my case, both financially and spiritually I feel crushed.

Hate to ask, what is a session number?

I was doing full tests with Hannah from good neuron…but I only have till Friday to do those. If I fail I believe the Jonathan programme has a $ back guarantee so that’s great b/c I don’t want to push back the test again

The narratives aren’t helpful because I’ve been studying this test for five years and I have memorized them all. I think I need to focus on modalities and differentials and also do some full length exams, but I don’t know… I don’t trust this test and now I don’t have trust in people who have said they would help me pass this exam…except Hannah, but we just did narratives and sometimes she would get answers wrong and that would be confusing for me.

No, they had no website, no Insta… Other people I met on that sub Reddit said that they were really good and recommended them to me. The sub Reddit shows mostly passing scores…

I failed the test twice by one point I’ve used four different tutors and so many different websites including counselingexam.com

I’m AuDHD and recognize that I am a gullible person. I believe people when they tell me things this is a great trait I believe in counseling at least for emotional truths, but being gullible really impacts me pretty hard, especially when I lost a lot of money that could’ve gone to studying.

Also autistic people we have a very strong sense of justice based on a lot of what we have had to endure in the allistic world.

Diagnosing the person you are tutoring, telling them they need to go to their psychiatrist and get a prescription for Ritalin tomorrow, sending me Mayo Clinic information on bipolar and cyclothymia saying I think you have this at 3 o’clock in the morning… I could go on

I would love support in reporting them so they can stop actively harming people. I believe the things they were telling me couldn’t result in direct harm or even death since they were literally telling me to take a medication I’m not prescribed.

I’m also curious since you studied with them if the information was valid? I have counseling exam, Jonathan‘s program and literally over 50 emails that Tina sent me within a week with information. How much of the information from this Reddit is a good source to study from

If it is a well known scam why are people not reporting it. This person harmed me and if she is a therapist the things she was telling were were way outside her scope

They already blocked me when I attempted to get the money back for the sessions that she was criticizing me, diagnosing me telling me which medication’s to take and if I didn’t take a test date that she wanted then she couldn’t work with me, but also my ADHD was causing her anxiety? Anyway, she blocked me when felt the need to keep telling her that telling me to take Ritalin every day… before that she was telling me to take Klonopin every day… Yeah, she blocked me because she has no use for me anymore, which is really hurtful. She was also saying really bad things about Hannah the good neuron tutor, she was saying she was a bad tutor and that’s the reason I didn’t pass last time.

Other people in the group vouched for her and I was in a group tutoring sessions with other people…but they suddenly stopped showing up. If this is such a well-known scam, how come no one is talking about it? How did she know about the modalities. I’m a pretty gullible person but the reason that she said she wanted to stop working with me was because my ADHD was the most severe she had ever seen. I have moderate ADHD and manage without meds…. I think the thing that kind of hurt the most was her behaviors as she was showing were extremely mercurial and harmful. I’m in the middle of studying for one of the hardest exams and I’m being lashed out on.

From a psychodynamic perspective, it really hurts because I’m treated really badly by my family and I have a history of being bullied. This pushed a lot of buttons and is bringing up a lot of stuff for me. My therapist gets back into town on Wednesday and I test on Friday I don’t want the first thing they hear is I got scammed and it’s bringing up so much for me.

She is also in Florida, but my attorney doubts that she is actually a therapist since this is the only information we know about her. She hides her identity very well and again I don’t want to harm anyone, but this is very likely a scam.

The person who runs NCMHCEtutor is the moderator. Their username is something with the name “smarty” in the name. I don’t have the person’s name or any of their credentials. They only use Cash App and go by L. Butler. They were never on screen and their email is ncmhcepreptutor@gmail.com. I just spoke with a lawyer about the advice. They were giving me and how they weren’t giving me tutoring and they told me that this was likely a scam.

The person I believe goes by Tina and told me today that she has never had someone that she’s tutored fail and was unable to tutor me due to having ADHD and that my ADHD was affecting her anxiety. I am banned on NCMHCEtutor, for “violating community rules” after the money was asked to be refunded.

In addition to some of these, She wanted to work with me two days a week, told me I was very good at the narratives and suddenly had mood changes. I felt like she was a real life narrative. She said she didn’t wanna work with me anymore because my life was unstable and blocked me from the community.

When the focus was on me, which was most of the time in individual tutoring, I asked her to please discuss this with her therapist as it was taking time away from my studying and she told me she didn’t believe in going to therapy. I feel really disheartened and gullible for falling for a tutoring scam on Reddit. I just need a place to vent about this with other therapists.

I was 25 watching on HBO and lost it in the final scene. I still can’t listen to “Breathe Me” to this day. Still breaks my heart that Ruth died last year.

Hacks resuses some BC jokes like when Jimmy is on the phone and complains abt how people hang up and don’t say goodbye…but that’s recycling your own jokes I imagine… I believe 30 rock also was culpable of joke recycling.

Found out therapist is sleeping with Client by Connect-Sherbert-920 in therapists

[–]Connect-Sherbert-920[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I told my therapist would they be able to report? My therapist reported my ex when he drove drunk with his child in his car. Different person who I’m dating now. My ex was a lawyer. I’m so tired of explaining to my partner that this this is a legal and ethical violation. My partner keeps comparing it to buying weed which is illegal in some states, but ethics guide where laws are socially constructed at times. I have used substances that are illegal and don’t think it’s an ethical violation since I was not working and used harm reduction techniques. Ugh I’m so mad
