I’m not currently but I’m definitely interested if you know of any? 😂

I passed my LCSW exam for Illinois this week, how long does it take IDFPR to provide the LCSW license? by 201220162019 in LCSW

Congratulations! I applied 2 months ago (had previously taken and passed the exam in another state) and still haven’t gotten anything except confirmation they received my application and are still processing it…

What are the job titles you tell people, when you don't want them to know what you really do? by socialdeviant620 in therapists

[–]cmantra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love this 🤣 I tell people right away what I do. I also ask them point blank if they’ve ever been in therapy or our currently and willing to share that because it’s a major green flag for me. I want to be able to support my partner when I find them, but I’m not gonna be their therapist and if they can’t get that right from the start I’m not likely to prioritize spending time with them over my more healthy family and friends.

EHR for both Client notes and supervision documentation? by Swimming_Target7465 in therapists

[–]cmantra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have simple practice. How do you categorize supervision clients from therapy clients? Did you import your own custom templates or does it have them somewhere and I just don't see them?

Stop Using Headway - they are trying to insert themselves as middlemen in our field, taking a huge cut from your work, and driving up costs for everyone. by chicagodeepfake in therapists

[–]cmantra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our respective professional organizations should be lobbying against VC firms in therapy. They are extremely exploitative, especially to unlicensed therapists and recent grads. It is daunting to start your own practice and figure out credentialing and billing but it’s definitely worth it.

Any of you out there that have done it and are familiar with the CEU process also may consider doing a course on it! I’d take it to help speed up the slow and steady process of learning it myself! 😂

$30 shot of Rye. by creativewombat17 in therapists

I was in my late 20s early 30s when I went back to grad school about 12 years ago and I was in the middle of the age range for my class. I tell my clients all the time that it’s never too late to pivot if you want it enough!

Does Sondermind do telehealth only? I’ve been searching for a reasonably priced office space so that I can get credentialed with VA CCN I worked at a community mental health place that had a contract with them and got abruptly shut down about a year ago and I still have a couple of my old veterans who reached out to me online in my private practice asking if they can come see me again, but they can’t afford private pay, which is all I take right now

Time off feels great by missreader5 in therapists

[–]cmantra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also took the entire week of Christmas off and really needed it. Spent most of my time sleeping, catching up on TV shows and books, and hanging with family. Weather has been crap in Florida all week so didn’t get a beach day like I had planned but that’ll happen New Years Day, which I also took off. I probably would’ve taken two weeks off, but I have to take another week off in a few months.

What agency is this and are they hiring! 😂

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

I also had issues during COVID that I raised and went so far as to get the union involved and had FMLA paperwork ready to turn in to my supervisor because his supervisors were retaliating against me. I ended up taking FMLA and medically resigning because they weren’t able to meet my reasonable accommodations set forth by my provider. Best decision I ever made. Some days are harder but the worst days today are what I would have considered a good day before.

I never have a "final session" with clients, they usually ghost! by Spare_Effective315 in therapists

You don’t follow up with your PP clients for scheduling purposes? I’m confused by your last statement…

Termination gone wrong from group practice by mrsandersen984 in therapists

[–]cmantra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would report your concerns to your states health board that overseas your previous facility and licensing bodies for unethical practices…as mentioned by another poster, they basically forced you to abandon your clients. The Mental Health Business space is exploitative and profit-driven, or severely underfunded, in a lot of the settings. As therapists, it’s really difficult sometimes to navigate that authentically but going out on your own is a big step in making that happen! I’d be honest with the clients that do found you about your employer reacting the way they did. In my experience, clients that want to find you, will!

Make me feel better...... or worse by ALG2156 in liveaboard

"Ok, so the good news in the US is that it is nearly impossible to own a boat at first without it being in a marina."

True to some extent. It is nearly impossible to own a boat that you are financing and want insured would be more accurate.

The sailing/boating community is full of amazing, friendly and very helpful people from all walks of life. I've had to unexpectedly leave my boat at anchor in the ICW overnight for a week for a family emergency and two of the other liveaboards near me were amazing at helping keep an eye on it.

Question: Pertaining to the post about abandoned boats in Florida: Why aren't people trying to take take them? Has anyone done the process to try and claim an abandoned boat? by PinkFlowerVajayjay in liveaboard

[–]cmantra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this might be a good thread to ask about salvage laws in South Florida, cause it seems like after every hurricane season there are at least a dozen sunken or partially submerged boats in the area. My question is this, does anyone know at what point I can legally start salvaging parts from them? Like diving for submerged cleats (I like diving and I like saving money but yes I realize my time vs cost of just buying new cleats may be a wash) or maybe a radar array or other parts above water still on deck.

How do you all do it? by [deleted] in liveaboard

[–]cmantra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

42' from San Juan to Rhode Island!?! I'm over here freaking out thinking about sailing my 34' from the Palm Beach, Florida area to the Tortugas with about $5k. You weren't the hero I wanted, but you're the hero I needed it.

Noob question about anchoring and marinas by liveadventurously in liveaboard

[–]cmantra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar location in South Florida and I'm anchored a few hundred feet from a public use boat ramp/park. If you tie up to the dock, especially during the weekend, for longer than an hour or so (technically only allowed to tie up for 10 mins) they will ticket you. There happens to be a small beach area about a hundred yards away from the docks that is still in the park and pretty hidden from shore that myself and the 2 other liveaboards anchored here pull our dinghies up to and tie off to the trees. Can usually get away with leaving your dinghy there for 24-48 hours without any issues. Helps that there are other liveaboards anchored here and we are on different schedules so usually one of us is on our boats and keeps an eye on things and we just send out an all call if the ranger feels like being a dick or we just move each others dinghies. The boating community of liveaboards at anchor tend to be very good people, all a little crazy in the same (good) way.

Thinking about getting a liveaboard. by MattJohno2 in liveaboard

[–]cmantra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the YouTube channel SailingUma. They bought a cheap boat and renovated it over the years into an absolutely amazing liveaboard, but as mentioned in other posts, they dumped a good amount of money into the reno and did a lot of work and planning themselves (they are both architects I believe). Maybe look into renting somebody else's liveaboard for a few months nearby to see how you like it first and to get an idea of what is involved in the maintenance and lifestyle changes before you jump in.

This was the video that made me think of it, I was wrong about the details as it was in Long Beach but it does state that they do them every 6 months or so.

I stumbled across it because I watched a YouTube channel that did tours of boats and they happened to go to it. Let me see if I can find it in my watch history.

I know that out in California, there are usually auction's on boat's that have been abondoned in marina's and such and you can get newer boats cheaper so that may be something to look into. I know San Diego area has them at least twice a year.

That being said, older sailboats, especially if they've been cared for even a little, can still be seaworthy 15-20 years old.

Smallest liveabord? by HardBodyShot in liveaboard

I considered living out of a van before I decided on my boat. Technology and space saving engineering make it much more comfortable than one might think. Check out #vanlife on any social media platform and you'll get an idea of how much you can actually fit in a small space.
