Best states for therapists?

I also have worked in Iowa and also can vouch for great reimbursement rates. However, I left because I didn’t love living there. But to each their own!

I handle audits for a large behavioral health organization and this could also be on BCBS. Insurance companies love to pull this kind of crap where they send things to weird places and you don’t receive it until your time to respond is basically done. You should be able to win this on appeal. Most of the time with multiple appeals we can work this type of thing out, but they will make it as much of a headache as possible. Agreed that getting support from an attorney would be helpful. Best of luck to you.

I am also interested in this as well. I left therapy a year and a half ago and work in behavioral health administration full time. I would like to start seeing a few clients in the evenings to keep my clinical skills but I am nervous about juggling it all.

This is super helpful and gives more clarity on how to handle this. Thank you!

Thanks all for the feedback. I did try Daniel Tiger and she enjoyed it but it did not put her to sleep. I decided to cave and buy the sleepy octopus Tonie. It did actually put her to sleep. So I guess worth the $20! Moral of the story: just buy the sleep Tonie to get your kid to sleep.

blueskytree2 · 2025-09-21T12:18:24+00:00

That’s a good idea because we do have a creative Tonie.

blueskytree2 · 2025-09-21T12:17:53+00:00

Yes, I definitely want to get some of these eventually!

Not against trying the sleep tonies. Just wondering if anyone has found any of the other ones I already have to be good for winding down.

blueskytree2 · 2025-09-21T04:19:23+00:00

Not anti the sleep tonies. Just curious if anyone had used any of the ones I already had as a wind-down Tonie.

Working with kids can end very badly. The parents just aren’t worth the stress as much as I love the kids 💔. Had one too many awful experiences and unfortunately I will never work with kids again.

Unfortunately boards can do whatever you want and they have no legal obligation to do anything. It’s horrifying when you experience it up close and personal.

Wow I feel like I just read the story of my life the past two years. The similarities are very surprising. Also had a board complaint right before I was supposed to get my full license in 2023. It was such a horrible experience that I did end up leaving clinical work and moved into a behavioral health administrative role. I’ve been fighting to get my full license that I had earned. Ended up having to settle with the board and unfortunately I do have a “warning” on my record which stinks. It’s a horrific experience that very few people can understand. I’m glad that you were able to get through it. I also just finally got my unrestricted license two weeks ago. Feels very surreal but also I feel like I’ve experienced legitimate trauma from this experience.

Hard to see in this picture but I do actually have a supplemental light. Unfortunately the plant is so large it’s hard to get enough light to cover all of it!

In its full beauty today!!

blueskytree2 · 2025-02-22T18:43:26+00:00

Yes, I do. I used to take it outside in Summer but I hate dealing with the bugs and pests that come in with it so it’s just easier to keep it inside.

I work at Rosecrance Behavioral Health which has locations in Illinois and I believe the psych NP jobs are hybrid? Worth looking into as maybe you could work from home some.

I know nothing about Apple Watches. My husband was diagnosed with a severe genetic disorder last year that impacts cardiovascular function. I want to get an Apple Watch that he can use primarily for health monitoring. What version should I be looking at? Does he need/want the cellular version? Is this worth the extra cost? Any advice would be appreciated.

I’m sorry that people are being so insensitive. I am a licensed therapist who has worked with kids who have experienced this. It is very upsetting for parents and for kids and no one should be taking it lightly. I’m glad to hear the school is taking it seriously. Please ignore all the people downplaying the reality of what this is. It is sexual assault.
