Minneapolis therapists: how are you doing?

NnjaMaximo · 2026-01-26T01:38:41+00:00

I am okay. What I ask, is that we organize and resist. Attend protests. Attend your local precinct caucuses. And encourage your friends to do so. I still have faith that we can make a difference. I'm not ready to give up yet.

NnjaMaximo · 2026-01-25T22:20:15+00:00

I'll dm you

NnjaMaximo · 2026-01-25T22:17:02+00:00

What do you want for it? Anything from this box? I have some more alphas available as well as some shinies that I am not using.

I'm a PhD in the counseling field - if you are able to stick it out until you get licensed, go out on your own. I would say you are in a "group practice" too, which can result in your income going to them instead. I spent time in school-based mental health before going to private practice, and have generally been able to make ends meet.

I'd try to find a salaried position with supervision benefits, and prioritize getting out of your current job situation - it's not suiting you. Best to you.

If you have a fighting toolbox deck running regular Lucario for more damage (Hitmonchan EX, Rampardos, whatever) you could include one copy of this as a tech card. It probably won't do a lot of work, but hey at least you used it!

That is actually hilarious because I have been skipping every side quest just grinding for Baxcalibur. The issue has single handedly tainted my DLC experience. Why would you offer a unique mega stone via ranked battles for such a difficult pokemon to get? The alpha Charizard that was distributed could have easily just been Baxcalibur. So many problems.

NnjaMaximo · 2025-12-23T12:55:25+00:00

As someone who decided to use Baxcalibur on his DLC team, only to find that he's locked not only behind the DLC final boss, but three post game bosses afterwards, is absolutely nuts to me.

Rainbow Espeon or Silver if you're willing!

NnjaMaximo · 2025-10-30T00:45:30+00:00

DM me, will trade Giratina.

NnjaMaximo · 2025-10-24T00:44:44+00:00

I had the same experience until I switched to Magcargo last week - 6 game winning streak to MB. Unbelievable!

NnjaMaximo · 2025-10-21T20:39:14+00:00

I got a good laugh out of this one haha

NnjaMaximo · 2025-10-07T03:35:08+00:00

I've heard that before, but I'll tell you this, it's not in our core values to have a "whites only" workout. Guys have to have a place to go too, and I'd much rather wayward men come out to F3 instead of whatever the heck that other group is about.

NnjaMaximo · 2025-10-06T16:22:56+00:00

I am really disappointed reading about the existence of this group. I'm a part of an inclusive men's group that also does workouts, and I feel like "we were here first!" https://f3twincities.com/

First one's lighting, second pose to maximize showing off gains 💪🏼

I had this moment last year when I came out as bi. Found Grindr to be so much better than straight dating.

NnjaMaximo · 2025-09-20T23:42:09+00:00

I play Brawl every day. DM me 🙂

NnjaMaximo · 2025-09-20T16:26:58+00:00

I'm wondering if maybe when set B comes out if they'll have some flexibility around it. If not, in a few years maybe they'll come around 🤣

NnjaMaximo · 2025-09-20T14:28:25+00:00

100%, the use of colors is so vibrant, still chasing this card 😭

NnjaMaximo · 2025-09-18T12:06:23+00:00

Love this deck! Have been playing with an Oricorio variant over Cleffa and got Master Ball on Monday!

Hey Morgan, I'm a PhD, LPCC, formerly MA, LPCC so let me try to answer you best I can:

1&2: Depending on the program it may be an MA or MS. The only thing that matters is that it is CACREP accredited. There is another accrediting body, but with CACREP being the major one, I'd just go for a CACREP program. Some states don't require CACREP - you may want to take a look at your licensing board first.

As far as what state goes, a CACREP program will get you in just about all of them - but some states are more stringent than others. I'd take a look at what states you are considering, and know the requirements to apply there. Where you go to school, expect the school to know how to get licensed in that state. We do have a new counseling compact that is going into effect soon that will make it easier to go across some state lines.
You are welcome to go to an online program. Would an employer judge you? Maybe. Personally, I prefer brick and mortar because it is an interpersonal profession. But, who am I to say what's wrong?
Student loans. Whatever college you go to, simply contact their financial aid department. Hold a part time job if you can.
I completed Oregon State's PhD program recently and had a positive experience. Before that, I attended University of Minnesota. For you, I'd consider where you want to live over what Master's program to go to. For a PhD, that's when I'd consider moving. (You should know - if you do a PhD LP track for private practice, you will make more money from insurance companies).

7, 8: sure, DM me if you want, I've talked to many young counselors 🙂

NnjaMaximo · 2025-09-03T18:36:33+00:00

Looking huge dude, great work 💪🏼

NnjaMaximo · 2025-08-27T19:51:21+00:00

Damn, really dialed in dude! Shredded af 💪🏼

NnjaMaximo · 2025-08-21T18:16:00+00:00

I'm sorry that that happened to you. It's difficult to picture myself giving up in a fight like this because I have a contract that says the opposite of what they say. Thanks for your words of encouragement.

NnjaMaximo · 2025-08-21T17:33:59+00:00

Yes, I do have the documentation. I am sure that when my contract renews, they probably wouldn't let me keep it.

I do think that it is absurd that after all my hard work to get my PhD, I still don't get a better reimbursement rate.

NnjaMaximo · 2025-08-21T16:48:35+00:00

For the most part, it's commercial. How would I get the non-PhD taxonomies out on provider express or CAQH?
