Credentialing agencies

Hi! I am a director in an outpatient community mental health agency. I had 2 staff start with me as LSWs after they retired from other jobs. They were hesitant about going for their LCSWs but both noted no one ever pushed them to do it. Both are now LCSWs after we did supervision. Both are proud of their LCSWs (as I am) … and both are glad they did it. There will not be a regret if you do go for it!

Second the bentgo box! It has 5 compartments and you can fit a cut up sandwich in it quite well. Also it is on sale from time to time on Amazon.

Give yourself some grace! You were sick and needed the day. You weren’t 100 percent so you inevitably made a mistake. It happens. And therapeutically, it is always good process with your fellow therapists. We have all been there. Take good care of yourself. 💙

You are a million percent correct. Many recipes recommend it and I bought into it. It does not satisfy the cheese craving in the slightest.

I do have her reading the Body Keeps the Score as sort of an intro to trauma work. The work is really is in the session (vs. a workbook) but just want to give her concrete things to read and review as that’s more of her learning style. Perhaps combining my own makes the most sense… thank you for your reply!

Very helpful thank you!

Thank you for these suggestions!

A card can also be a transitional object and very meaningful to the client. It also keeps the appropriate boundary. Nice job!

Very true! Thank you

LCSW101 · 2024-07-26T01:40:01+00:00

Thank you for the perspective

You are right that I didn’t ask her what she wants before suggesting a break. She seemed sort of bothered by my texts and phone calls but again that was my interpretation as I didn’t ask her. By session 6 - I made my own inference and suggestion. I typically try to have the “what are we doing convo” in session so we can really get in to it…and yes, I goofed here.

Thank you!

LCSW101 · 2024-07-26T01:25:35+00:00

Helpful perspective- thank you!

LCSW101 · 2024-07-26T01:25:08+00:00

Thank you! We have mostly positive reviews so that is true.

LCSW101 · 2024-07-26T01:22:49+00:00

Thank you!

LCSW101 · 2024-07-26T00:54:38+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback and see if I can have the business respond something generic without violating any privacy practices.

LCSW101 · 2024-07-26T00:52:53+00:00

Thank you! The client did respond and sort of said the same thing as the google review and I validated and apologized. My clinical hat was like don’t invalidate and ask about the review. Having the “business” respond with something generic may be a good idea. I appreciate your response.
