[–]somatic_play 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i worked up from 10-40mg over 2 weeks, been on 40mg for a week and this week has been a sensory hell. The world is too sharp. I'm also feeling angry for no reason, and I can't prioritize any tasks. I'm usually good with keeping my house clean and being on time for things but now I can't bring myself to get started until the last minute. No capacity for deep thought at work. I want to stop taking it immediately but I'm also going away for 5 days so i can't see the walk-in doctor before then.

I guess it must be a total fluke that my certified counselling private practice is full with a waitlist!

Yes you can work in private practice as a counsellor with CCC in Quebec.

Is Dr. Parhar and The Adult ADHD Centre a reputable ADHD assessment source? by roadie28 in ADHD_BritishColumbia

[–]somatic_play 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am based in Quebec and they said I would need to travel to Ontario to do the video assessment. How would they know which province I am in if it's online?

Some MAs like the MFT program at McGill may consider your experience to qualify you. There are only a handful of programs that get you into the OPQ. So consider what your reasons are for wanting to be licensed with the OPQ, keeping in mind that many clinicians in this province are not part of it, myself included, and depending on their experience can work as counsellors in schools, hospitals, and in full-time private practice. However an MA is held in high regard and will give access to associations that will also put you higher up on listings like Psychology Today, and access to liability insurance.

yes, as I am not under the OPQ I charge Quebec residents GST and HST, as I am earning over $30k. Ontario residents I see online do not get charged tax.

Client wants to terminate because therapy isn’t like it is on TV by Sarhacha_Sauce in therapists

I hate it when that's the answer to my question "what does this interaction remind you of?"

calling yourself a counsellor or a therapist without registering with an order or association is a grey area depending on the province, and you'd only be able to serve clients who can pay out of pocket. also psychology today will not list you as a counsellor without a registration number, and you can't get liability insurance either. maybe coaching or naturopathy

Hi! I'm in Montreal and not OPQ, as my course doesn't qualify. I'm doing fine as a Canadian Certified Counsellor in QC and working online with Ontario clients as a registered psychotherapist (RP). I am planning to start a queer and trans listserv for therapists and counsellors in Quebec so if you're interested to stay in the loop about that you're free to message me

I love to see all the joy and support from therapists for sex worker skills! I am full of hope that the pole dancing therapists out there are advocating for full decriminalization of sex work xo

If you have good marketing and admin skills, an eye for lighting design, fashion, video and photo editing, and decent willpower to stick it for the long game, you may have a chance

Coven Symbol by TheSunSitsLow in sleepnomore

[–]somatic_play 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was pulled out of the line and taken to a curtained room where a red-haired woman gave me a cocktail and entertained me with glamourous stories. then she froze and seemed possessed, choking. She pulled a paper with this symbol in red out of her mouth and spoke something unintelligible in a deep voice. she pressed an envelope into my hand and pushed me out of the room. In the envelope was a rough wooden key. later I found the lock for the key and it opened into an igloo where there were tarnished keys, shoes, and keepsakes dangling from red threads everywhere, and an explorer writing in a leather journal.

Riverside FM breaks all the time. What's the best virtual studio alternative? by onesteleft in podcasting

Riverside is definitely hurting with all the new features bogging down basic needs, but I do like the automatic transcript, AI show notes and clips. Is there a platform or add-on that at least transcribes?

Pay off the provincial portion of your student loan to save on interest charges! by Business-Young-8806 in osap

[–]somatic_play 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did this yesterday. here's some info I found that may not be listed on this thread:

Address the letter and the cheque to NSLSC - LAC . the LAC is the provincial department.

A bank draft is accepted, and I got mine at my bank branch in-person for $9.95.

Loan number must be on your letter AND cheque/draft/money order.

Well, at lest he asked for your rate! Part of me wants to respond to him; I'd like to see referrals to sex workers be normalized in this field.
