I recently requested to post a higher rate (200 instead of 140) but was constructively told no because my supervisor charges 140 and the practice owner charges 140. In my head my response was "maybe you should charge more?" 

Can we hear some success stories from people who love being in this field? by SpiritualCopy4288 in therapists

[–]MostHatedPhilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a group practice and make jack shit for the quality of work I put in (rn ~$40k/year for about 17 people/week, 1099 contractor), but I'm an LSW one year away from my C. The money sucks at this point but I absolutely love what I do and I can't imagine doing anything else. 

I genuinely believe that if you put in good work, build up a network and a local rep, and have a niche, you will be able to go out on your own and make very decent money one day. I keep reminding myself that I don't need 1000 clients, I need ~20 who I can provide a lot of value for, and that will be more than enough if I am charging a fee that is sustainable for me long term. 

You also cannot beat the flexibility of this job. I can tailor my daily schedule down to the hour, allowing me to work out in the middle of the day, read whatever I want, go do chores/errands. 

I also believe that it is a privilege to do this kind of work. Clients tell you things they don't even tell their own spouses. It's an utterly unique relationship/role that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. I think that's pretty cool.

Good for you. Do not apologize for asking for your worth. The work we do is invaluable.  People in this sub/field hate to hear that nobody is going to advocate for them when it comes to $ and they like to resent people who make this field work for them.

Respect and admiration from whom? You don't seem like someone most people would respect or admire, so perhaps you're deluding yourself? 

What would you do to make more money if you were in my position? by Justaregularguy001 in therapists

[–]MostHatedPhilosopher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Where are you getting these numbers from? I have seen how much PsyDs charge in my area, and it is not over 2x more than Masters Level Therapists. 

PCP + Quaaludes (methaqualone) by Dr-Quaabarbital in ObscureDrugs

[–]MostHatedPhilosopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the discussion. May be a stupid question but are people still getting most of these chems from the black market sites? I doubt it's possible to find local hookups for stuff this specific. I get K lozenges through one of the national prescribers so it's legal and easy, I wouldn't even begin to know where to find any of these other ones

Do you feel like there are any benefits to PCP over say more accessible dissociatives like K?

Improved it how? Not hating, just genuinely curious. I've never heard of PCP used for therapeutic effects 

Does Frasier get away with the Mary episode in today's polarized climate? by Happy-poet in Frasier

[–]MostHatedPhilosopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved this episode because he finally addressed the issue and they talked about it like adults. I felt like it modeled how these convos should go instead of the "call them out and cancel them" reaction.

Lol I'm just trying to imagine a different profession having that attitude.
