@NicoleLewisLCSW It’s Covid. Lots of evidence for this, like the book “Clearing the Fog”. The cognitive deficits after Covid infections, even mild ones, are well documented.

This has got to stop. Telehealth was one of the great BENEFITS to come out of the pandemic! What’s the argument against it???

On March 9th, Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act into law. This will end telehealth under Medicare. Private insurance will surely follow. This is a final lifeline for many of us. This is an act of willful harm against vulnerable people.

There is nothing mentally wrong with you for taking COVID seriously. You are not mentally ill for caring about the health and safety of yourself and others. To use therapy and mental illness as a means of stigmatizing someone who takes this virus seriously is extremely harmful.

@MichaelFulwiler I divide what I want my yearly salary to be by 47 weeks, then divide that by my fee to get how many clients I need to see a week. That allows for 5 weeks without pay to reach my goal. I usually only take 3, but the extra 2 covers sick time for both me & clients.

Rapport is proven to be the single most important factor in therapy. Therefore if you - as a client or a therapist - don’t connect with a certain kind of person, you should look elsewhere. Seeing someone you don’t connect with serves neither person well. #TherapistTwitter

I think there is a direct correlation between whether or not a therapist LIKES doing telehealth & whether or not it’s effective. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. But those of us who like it are having great success with clients.
