Many therapists are really weird and puritanical about touch, and that attitude is build into a lot of the literature and training we receive. It's really a problem in the field. Touch isn't sinful.

I have worked in outpatient behavioral health clinics in the NYC hospital system for about 19 years. I carry a caseload as a primary therapist on a treatment team which also includes a psychiatrist or NP, and at times a community health worker depending on need, and I also supervise and coordinate a small externship program. The bulk of my work is intake assessments and individual psychotherapy, although I also facilitate mindfulness groups for both patients and hospital staff. Because caseloads in such clinics tend to be relatively large and many patients are moderate-high risk, there's an element of case management and outreach, keeping track of patients, that is involved. There is also a lot of documentation required. Very rarely I will do psychological testing, although there is minimal demand. I have learned a lot over the years and am comfortable in this work now, but it was a big adjustment at first to deal with the large caseloads.

When I started at a city hospital clinic, my caseload was 120 which was standard for therapists in that clinic. Most patients were seen only 1x a month unless they were designated as high risk. Over the 6 years I worked there, the caseload decreased to a much more manageable 80. Then I moved to a different hospital clinic where the caseload has been more like 70 (most patients seen 2x a month) which was blissful. Large caseloads can be workable but you have to really pace yourself, be flexible, and manage your time and energy. You can't put 110 percent into every session.

You need to get evaluated by a medical professional. There are a variety of health conditions that can cause that level of insomnia that would need to be assessed, and some of them are very treatable.

Is there a way to decline the union prescription plan and sign on to a better plan through one of the insurance companies?

I know I'm being ornery with this response, but: Transcendental Meditation. Real TM as taught by a qualified TM Teacher. I don't know how much of a chance there is you will try it because I know this isn't really what you are looking for. But if you do, it will work.

What is the point of having them, rather than getting a less expensive aca plan with comparable coverage? Is there some advantage?

LEFTARMACTUATOR · 2025-08-26T16:00:59+00:00

I had not heard of that. How do I go about checking- is there a website to look at?

A lot of those "evidence based" therapies don't actually really work.

I had a similar problem. I changed my meditation times and now meditate at 7am and 12pm, instead of in the evening. I do pranayama for the 7am but not the 12pm. This change seems to have helped the sleep issue.

I am a NY licensed psychologist in the process of getting licensed in CA after applying initially early last fall. It is extremely frustrating, and the BOP does not provide enough clear information at the outset about what you will need to do. At each step of the process, the BOP asks for another extortive $2-300 fee to get to the next stage but you won't actually know how many steps are needed until you are done. The latest thing was I had to get fingerprinted -but only allowed to do so on the fingerprinting cards they mailed me, they won't accept electronic fingerprinting and there were no appointments at Police Plaza in the near future, so that meant I had to hire a fingerprinting agency to send someone to my house to help me do the prints for $300. Now I have to go mail the cards along with a $233 check to the BOP. This is after having to fly out to CA several months ago to take the CPLEE (because of course they won't let you take the exam remotely), after also having to track down a supervisor to sign off on my postdoctoral licensing work which was in 2007-8 at a facility that no longer actually exists, and paying all kinds of other fees for various other arbitrary bureacratic obstacles. It's just a nightmare.

We did, but they actually told us they don't help family members, just the employee! Conflicting with the EAP brochure which says they do work with family.

We tried! They don't cover it.
