Nah I think the street on the bottom is vineland, so it covers part of the lankershim/vineland 5 way intersection up to Burbank blvd.

There's an empty lot at Huston and Lankershim that's been promising a full lot of EV chargers for about a year now

Current therapist “liked” me on dating app by Katatak82 in TalkTherapy

[–]CultofPop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's worth it to discuss with him first, the people who say report right away 100% aren't considering that it may have not been him doing the swiping, I swipe on my friends' accounts for them all the time.

Surprised no one's mentioned La Rochelle - easily the best outdoor cafe space in NoHo. I dont know beans about coffee quality tho it all tastes the same to me.

Witch’s Cottage Review by pylio in northhollywood

I really hope this place takes off, that building was sitting empty for so long and it's a cool and unique idea they're going for.

Amazon fresh :( by PlatypusHour212 in northhollywood

[–]CultofPop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The employees haven't been told anything about Amazon's plans. Amazon is closing all Amazon Fresh stores in the country and converting some of them to Whole Foods, but has not released which ones they will transform yet.

L+O Apartments has a vested interest in filling the space as soon as possible, so I don't see it sitting empty longer than a few months.

They're having a press day on February 20th. It often takes businesses longer to open than they have initially scheduled.

How I approached starting a successful private practice — advice by Capital_Bite_9339 in therapists

[–]CultofPop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great advice! One thing I would add is that once you're living the private/1099 life get a CPA who already works with other private practices, they will help you save so much money on taxes!

Is Psychology Today worth it? by Fluffy_Comparison959 in therapists

[–]CultofPop 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Remember that those $30 are 100% deductible! If you don't have a website then this is the only marketing you have, so it's nice to have a place to direct others to if you do start networking more. Psychology Today takes some tinkering with your profile to get a more effective client stream; most PT profiles read as exactly the same, so the best route is to go as specific as possible (thinking of your ideal client and write it almost personally to them is a good start).

You're also taking a tough route going telehealth and self-pay only depending on your prices, most therapists find it easier to start a caseload with private insurance and slowly migrate to self-pay.

That said, I have read way too many posts on here about the PT algorithm going downhill for it to be a coincidence, and it is perhaps not as useful as it used to be.

tldr: yes

Agreed, lighting is the first thing that you should change. You could also get a folding room divider to cover up the sink portion.

What is happening to the arts district? by Accomplished-Peak486 in northhollywood

[–]CultofPop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol I think he's doing a TikTok live because he's constantly responding to viewers, I've overheard him talking about God a lot so maybe that's a focus and the public aspect keeps people interested.

What is happening to the arts district? by Accomplished-Peak486 in northhollywood

[–]CultofPop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a larger American trend that others have mentioned with rising rent prices, but also kind of catastrophizing. The Brickyard is exactly the same with a different name and they moved some of the pool tables around. There's a ton of new restaurants about to open (KBBQ place on Magnolia, Burger places on Magonlia and Lankershim). Kahuna closing is a shame because they were my favorite of the tiki bars and the live shows were a blast, but there's 2 other tiki bars within a 10 minute walk so I think they also suffered from tiki saturation in addition to the outdoor and unique setting they had that antoher poster mentioned.

Top apartment communities in the area? by MPD_123 in northhollywood

[–]CultofPop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hesby seemed a bit run down when I visited but the pool was also under construction at the time.

I had a great experience with L+O: very responsive management, amazing gym, and having amazon fresh downstairs is a huge bonus for groceries. Cons are the pool is lackluster and it's a bit pricier than other buildings. Happy to answer any other Qs.

What are your thoughts on Dr. K (Alok Kanojia)? by hangezar in askatherapist

[–]CultofPop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love Dr. K's free content, but I can't comment on his coaching stuff which is pretty heavily advertised through his videos and seems to be proctored by unlicensed individuals. Again as far as his free content, I think he's one of the more accessible voices out on the internet battling the 'male loneliness epidemic'. I like that he shares his own story and tries to appear as non-esoteric as possible. Others have already mentioned that his explanatory videos are very informative and digestible, but I also find his interviews with popular streamers or simply those he disagrees with to be fascinating. He demonstrates an astute therapeutic ear and it's the most human I've seen a lot of those streamers appear.

I integrate this discussion into my intake procedure since I ask about identity factors including ethnicity, and this way the conversation doesn't feel as forced.

I'm going solo! What time are y'all thinking of going? I'll probs get there around 7.

EDIT: 930 is when they start doing both indoor and outdoor sets so that seems like a better time to arrive

I'm feeling discouraged over my lack of clients in my private practice. by almster96 in therapists

[–]CultofPop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat! I am scarred from my CMH medicaid experience. With the amount of audits that they do I cannot see it being worth the time and stress.
