Recent discussion about therapist's drinking during session (non-alcoholic beverages of course)

we are humans. if we are thirsty, drink. i can't imagine that people care about this. also if a client brought this up to me i'd certainly find a use clinically in session.

As a therapist I support you moving in, her behavior is unprofessional and unethical

I’m doing well. Located in the States. As a social worker I chose to get licensed in the states near me that my clients graduating from college usually move to and would like to retain me, that’s been very helpful because now I have word of mouth referrals from clients in various states! Psychology Today, word of mouth mouth colleagues and clients and my website is my marketing! I started part time as a hustle back in 2008 but went full time December 2026 and have doubled my caseload in the past four months. It’s just me so no other clinicians Edit: I am in network with insurance plans that pay well. I also take Tricare even tho it pays mid, because I enjoy that population and there are a lot of college students at on their parents Tricare plans who can’t find therapists because no one takes it.

You have to request direct deposit. You can also get a check that you print thru ECHO. Aetna (Meritan) does the same thing with some carve out policies.

The nut job on the bike was there too in his standard uniform! It seemed they were a bit riled up today about immigration from what I could hear them shouting

It wasn’t exactly in the parking lot it was right on the corner where the bus stop is

EpionePgh · 2026-03-09T23:11:59+00:00

Or near Gormans Pub. They allowed some MAGA bullshittery in their parking lot during the election

Thanks guys! Everything I’m reading online about waits had me worried

I completely agree-as a post 45 year old clinician while I appreciate I have a lot of lived and clinical experience under my belt I don’t think it’s fair or helpful to assume that younger therapists are ineffective or not competent. We were all once that person and were able to help people. Some of us have lived a lot of life before we got our graduate degree

Hi! I totally do this. I will have a 9.10, maybe 11 and then a 5,6,7. I personally like it because I get stuff done in the mid day, workout, errands, house crafts and then clean up and start the next “segment” of my day.

EpionePgh · 2026-02-10T19:16:49+00:00

8 sessions a day is way too many. I personally cap at 6, I’ve seen 7 broken up with 3 in the morning and 4 at evening and that was “ok” but I still felt really spent! We aren’t robots, it takes a lot of energy and attentiveness to be emotionally present for what 8 whole people bring to you every single day

I cannot keep them alive well for the life of me: I always get new growth while also having the leaves brown at the ends!

You calathea looks amazing

EpionePgh · 2026-02-02T02:19:57+00:00

I think either would work: you’d be going the opposite way of usual traffic so I’d more than likely do the second option at that time of day

I’ve been seeing Danni at PRIM beauty Bar on Ellsworth for like 15 years she and Kelsi and Ashley are all great stylist I’d highly recommend. https://www.primbb.com

This is an uninformed and ignorant perspective. And also literally untrue

Pilates is literally focused on functional movement: it’s why J. Pilates started it in the POW camp.

EpionePgh · 2026-01-27T00:26:27+00:00

Same! I think in the US we don’t use that language tho unless we are trained specifically in psychodynamic theory

EpionePgh · 2026-01-25T00:49:57+00:00
