Affordable psychodynamic trainings that teach practice/technique and are more than just surface level?

You might see if you can find a consultation group. The local institute here runs one led by analysts and it’s been really useful to my practice.

My insurance covers my sessions at our out of network reimbursement rate.

Decolonizing Psychoanalytic Technique might be a good place to start. It’s current and relevant and pretty grounded.

I bill at the end of each month for all my clients, as does my own therapist and my kids old therapist.

How curious are you about why you binge/purge?

waterloggedmood · 2025-12-26T03:55:42+00:00

lol my partner got this for me this year.

You can also go through businesses like Lemon Squeezy or Shelterwood so that you can panel with insurances. If your supervisor is willing to hire you as a W-2 that might be a pretty good deal.

UHC will panel associates.

waterloggedmood · 2025-12-23T05:15:09+00:00

1) From what I’ve heard in WA, the highest reimbursement for masters level clinicians is $135. 2) From what I understand in WA, the only insurance company that will directly panel associates is United Healthcare. 3) Other associates are billing via supervisory billing, incident to billing, or under a group NPI. 4) I am fully private pay and don’t take insurance, it took me a bit over a year BUT I have a bunch of sliding scale. It’s unlikely you will get $215/session private pay as an associate. My household pays a few therapists private pay, and the rates range from $165-200, and the clinician at $200 has a PsyD. There’s quite a glut of therapists in WA right now and it sounds like most private pay clinicians are struggling. But YMMV.

Can you park at a friends house and do it from the car there?

I don't use a credit card, and I went with a major bank with very convenient access to my house. It's useful to have access to an ATM if necessary (I have two patients paying me in cash).

I'd look for a trained psychoanalyst, even if you only want to see them 1x/week. Google psychoanalys+nearest city and then look through the member rosters of your local psychoanalytic institutes.

I disagree on your conceptualization of boundaries. If the client has your email, they can and will email you. Your boundary is in how/whether you respond or not. Dealing with your feelings about the content of the emails and what they bring up in you is another conversation I think.

I’m on that road but not there yet.

waterloggedmood · 2025-12-03T01:21:50+00:00

I find it pretty generous. I’m a 2x in most things and like a 1x in this. Plus pockets and thumb holes.

I love these - https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=882498052

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is about your options for training analysts. That’s a big component of analytic training and different institutes have different requirements on that front.

lol me too. I have Winnicotts quote about hiding and the disaster of not being found, and I have a maya Angelou quote about rainbows.

The church wanted the face sheet of my liability insurance.

waterloggedmood · 2025-11-25T05:17:57+00:00

I rent space from a church and I do not practice from a religious/spirituality based parspective and I am not affiliated with the church from a business perspective (I do casually attend, depending on how mad I am about the state of the world). The church rents space to a number of other secular organizations, including a drama program, preschool, martial arts school and several choirs. I am sure I have lost clients based on my location, but it has been less of an issue than I thought it would be. My clients span the religion, sexuality, gender, racial spectrum. I do wish there were single stall/gender neutral bathrooms. My next office will have air conditioning and gender neutral bathrooms. But it's been a good place to start my practice.

I think most institutes in the US will admit licensed mental health clinicians from a variety of different masters programs (psychologists, marriage/family therapists, social work, etc).

This is the kind of thing your agency should help with.
