Looking for a little insight from those more knowledgeable than I: I'm an LMFT-Associate in Texas making about $60k a year. I know this is very good for this area and this field but it's just not enough to keep up with cost of living.
I'd love to go into private practice but it's just not financially feasible for me to build the clientele from ground up and my job leaves me little time or emotional wherewithal to take clients after hours. I'm willing to consider any suggestions at this point!

I was considering looking into utilization review, but not sure if I could continue to get my hours. If anyone has insight on that, too, I'd appreciate it!

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.
