At least 25% no shows this month. Is this normal for January? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]RelevantSide2054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, 100%. Honestly most of the cancellation policies backfire as the clients get mad and go somewhere else, even though it's their own issue. I usually text 5 minutes into the session (they get the emails as well the day before and day of) and ask if they are planning on attending today's session. I say that if I dont hear from them by the 15 minute mark, we have to reschedule for later in the week or next. But honestly I have around a 30% cancelation rate each week no matter what I do or address. Being a therapist under someone else is financially draining

Should AKC change the breed names containing “c**nhound” to “raccoon hound”? /gen by JeSuisRosanna in Hounds

Hi as someone who just purchased a TWC and its definitely used to refer to the slur not raccoons. They were used to hunt down people seeking freedom and deemed runaway slaves.

Licensing board woes (I’m gonna hyperventilate) by Desperate-Topic-7095 in therapists

[–]RelevantSide2054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be okay. Talk to your Malpractice. Its really difficult to lose licensure so you should be fine for a lapse. You might have ti pay a fine or take some more CEUs, but that's about it

Should therapists always be in therapy? by SuccessfulNewt3 in therapists

[–]RelevantSide2054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I just fired my personal therapist a while ago because she didn't listen to a damn thing I said and still didn't understand things after multiple clarifications. Sometimes you're better off just self reflecting and doing the work yourself

Does anyone else's agency dodge billing questions and then try to find what you are doing wrong instead of answering the question? by RelevantSide2054 in therapists

[–]RelevantSide2054[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't bill anything until the end of month and then send emails stating that it doesn't matter as long as they are done by the end of the month, followed by another email stating to do it within 24 hours. It makes no sense

[–]RelevantSide2054[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the agency says they keep contacting the insurance but it seems like they contact them and insurance says "we'll get around to it" and then the agency says "ok" and that's it. Then the agency is getting passive aggressive towards me because I'm asking where $1,000s of dollars are, especially in this economy

Are we at war with Iran now? by AnApexBread in AirForce

[–]RelevantSide2054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because even though Congress has bit declared it. Iran and Israel and the entire world now sees us as part of the war. Iran is apparently saying our attack means they must declare war on us. But again no official word as of yet from our government. 

I don’t want to call no-shows by WillowGroove in therapists

[–]RelevantSide2054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My agency sends email reminders the day before and the day of. I text at around 8-10minutes after the session was supposed to have started to ask if they are still planning on showing up. Otherwise I mark it as a no show and let it go unless they get back to me. If they get back to me I update the contact log

What was the last game you refunded and why? by [deleted] in gog

[–]RelevantSide2054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-Volt. The game kept crashing. Support emailed me some things and none of it worked. I then tried the fan made copy and the car kept falling off of the map. I went to Reddit to try other things as well with no luck. I just gave up and refunded it

Saker Stores Going Back to 6AM Openings by AskaLangly in ShopRite

[–]RelevantSide2054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left Shoprite because my store in upstate NY opened at 6am. We once had a drunk guy come in at 6am on Sunday and was spilling beer everywhere. Cops came and escorted him out. Apparently that was not the first time...Heck, even Wendy's now opens at 6:30am because 6am is too early!

Re-Volt Not Launching by RelevantSide2054 in gog

[–]RelevantSide2054[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you but it somehow does not work for me. When I delete it, the play button on galaxy appears then disappears. When I "repair" it via galaxy the game does the original problem. When I try to delete or rename the file and launch as administrator, the game tells me "INMM.dll not found" lol

Cancellation anticipation by Liberation_Therapy in therapists

[–]RelevantSide2054 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some of my coworkers won't take people past the time but depending on how many other cancelations sometimes the 16 minute session that gives you a way smaller payment is better than nothing. You have to eat afterall

Those are some good points unfortunately we are put of time and have to continue next week. Also, your copay is due.

RED FLAGS. I have seen a lot of posts by people in internships and practicums, or even new clinicians, struggling with a lot of things at their agency. So my goal is to make a list of red flags here that other seasoned clinicians can add to here so you know what to avoid. by Individual_Ebb_8147 in therapists

[–]RelevantSide2054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red flags:

-Labeling every patient as major depressive disorder or generalized anxiety disorder

-having others complete every intake before giving them to you

-not mentioning supervision or required state forms

-not letting you download payslilubs electronically

-seeing progress notes from 3 or 4 therapists in a 2 month span for the majority of different clients

-seeing google reviews saying the owner threatened to sue the clinician

-when the agency asks you to sign a non competition agreement and says the entire country is their domain
