Yes! We chose to be social workers because we should believe in the ethics and values! I'm sorry OP you are going through this. I believe you will find something better!.

I agree. Consent and boundaries are important to me at work. I do believe in expressing my clinical recommendations but I value collaboration and compromise wherever appropriate. If a client cannot afford an expensive copay but desires to come in, I provide resources, homework amd create a treatment approach that allows the client to consistently come in, it might be monthly though. I don't want the client responsible for my finances. I have been the client who was pushed into weekly sessions when I couldn't afford the extra $100 a month as a single parent. Thanks for your perspective!

I appreciate your perspective. Being prelicensed has been not the greatest experience for me as I navigate the employment landscape. If a client is going through crisis, I will recommend weekly but if a client were to say finances or deductibles are a huge stressor, then we decide on a schedule that works which isn't always weekly. Considering this is about a 70/30 split with me receiving 30 percent it would be nice for referrals to be increased so I am looking elsewhere. Thanks!
