my fellow therapists…you don’t have to have group practice goals or even private practice goals. I teach, supervise, consult, facilitate workshops and see maybe 5 clients a week. I’ve done my 10 client days, never again

here’s why you look dumb attacking any single therapist who expresses a preference or niche of care…the odds of that 1 provider being available for new clients, in your state, some1 you can afford, and someone you would WANT to work w/are very slim to none.
