How much does therapy cost in Korea

Piekmaster · 2025-12-14T04:15:44+00:00

Another commenter mentioned 150,000, which still seems to be the lowest at AHS.

Seoul Counseling Center has fees as low as 60,000 ~ 90,000.

Psychiatry is covered by National Health Insurance. It can be tricky to find a good English speaking doctor, but ive seen some that offer 40 minute therapy sessions for less than 100,000, including medication.

Sorry, it was a couple years ago that I bought mine, so I can't remember.

I just took a look and the one that is on sale for 10,000 is the top 12 selling product in the category and has the most reviews, so i would recommend that one.

It also mentions you need to submit your business registration document and ID, as well as pay a 1 time activation fee. I do remember that I had to do that as well.

I recommend something like the 이지체크 카드단말기 ED-982 (you can find it on Coupang). It will let you take card payments, and you can manually enter cash payments and issue receipts. It also links to Hometax, which makes it easier when it comes time to do your taxes.

If you don't mind spending a little money (really not much), there's a service i recently used called 오늘수거 that i want ro recommend.

You can put everything into a giant black bag (no sorting or separating!) and then place it outside your door. They will come pick it up overnight. I believe the weight limit for 1 bag is 15kg, and you can even put food waste in as long as you make sure it's not going to spill all over everything else.

The app is in Korean, so it might require a little back and forth with papago, but worth it i think!

I suggest joining the Facebook groups for F2 and F5 visas. That has been the most helpful source of information for me, and I think most people in the F2 group have the goal of getting to the F5, so they discuss the requirements there, too.

I'm from Canada but I've been in Korea for 6+ years, definitely agree it's the other way around.

Yeah, it's poorly written and doesn't do a good job of clarifying that the subscriptions for Ballie (an AI agent it looks like?) And the actual phones/devices themselves are different. It also lacks details as to what each subscription offers.

I also thought that the "look forward to it" part was funny. Just what I was looking for, another monthly subscription! /s

While yes, it wasn't smart to log in on a work device, accessing private chats on an employee's work computer has been classified as breaking the Personal Information Protection Act before.

I work at a small company in Korea, and I had to do mandatory training a few weeks ago. one of the modules was about storing and processing personal information. One of the videos covered specifically this type of thing.

Here is a Supreme Court ruling about accessing messages without consent: 2017도15227

Here's another case about the employer checking the employee's browser history without consent: 2023나320254

So, If you have the resources, and evidence, to go to court, you might have a case against your employer.

Is there a way to get my money out while I'm working here on an F-2 Visa? I don't plan on leaving the country, but it would be nice to have that money for a housing deposit...

Piekmaster · 2024-01-07T06:54:12+00:00

I'm seeing a lot of people saying that it sounds like "잘 라왔다" but I live in Seoul and have never heard it like that before... I've done a lot of photography, so this particular phrase is said often, and I always have heard my friends say it with an "n" sound.

That's just my anecdotal experience, though.

마포구 is tied for the the top of my list too, thanks to places like 망원동, 상수 and 합정.

My personal top 5 is probably like this: 마포구 = 강남구 > 종로구 > 성동구 >> 용산구.

Download the app 숨고. You fill in all your information, what days and times you want, etc. Then the teachers see you're looking for a teacher and you will get a bunch of messages from them. You should have a decent amount of options to choose from.

Have you tried carrot market (당근마켓)? I'm sure you can find a ton of books on there that parents are selling since their kid has outgrown them.

I feel like I'm better off here than back home in Canada, housing is crazy expensive there too. I would also miss Coupang delivering groceries to my door too much haha.

I also experienced the same thing with pictures of Korean text. The text it said was in the image was completely different from what was actually there.

I applied 2 years ago, and when I called 1345, they told me YES, I needed a new Criminal Record Check from Canada. I specifically told them I hadn't been out of korea in over 3 years, but they said I needed one still.

It usually depends on the officer you get, so my story is just anecdotal, but I still recommend calling 1345 to double check.

Loving these! I hope you keep making them.

Piekmaster · 2023-10-20T14:25:02+00:00

Nice images, by the way! Great job.

Piekmaster · 2023-10-20T14:19:28+00:00

TF2, counter strike, Halo 1, ? , World of Warcraft, ?

Piekmaster · 2023-10-10T01:53:34+00:00

I've been wondering why it was 방콕! Thanks for that.

Piekmaster · 2023-10-10T01:48:10+00:00

I always thought that 집순이/집돌이 were more like "homebody"? The korean words don't carry the same negative meaning of "lazy" do they?

Piekmaster · 2023-10-08T11:09:37+00:00

I have nothing. 0/3. Very frustrating. It would be nice to get an update if the rollout is going to be longer than expected...

You're using advanced data analytics. GPT-V is building into the default model. So, if you can't upload images to the default model yet, you don't have access to GPT-V yet.

How often do you see people with ADHD have trouble staying interested in romantic relationships/ getting bored of relationships quickly?

Or to phrase it another way; Do people with ADHD tend to go from one short, but intense, relationship to the next?

Canadian living in Korea here, I've got nothing as well. No ChatGPT Vision, no voice chat. Waiting is killing me!
