Good morning, I officially graduated from LLU University. Next week is completely open since it is Spring break at my internship. However, I do start a new position that is going to limit my availability after March 28th, so if you are a regular client make sure to book now once you see my availability. My availability will shift according to my shifts with my new job! I hope this information helps and works with your schedule. Have a great day!!

You don't have to know the name of the member of Congress that represents your area. You can go to the site and enter your address, and you will enter your location. It will let you know your representative to write to. https://lnkd.in/gXSDSSw

Older Americans and adults with disabilities have increasing rates of mental illness and suicide yet have lower rates of receiving mental health treatment. These populations continue to be hit hard by COVID-19, and allowing additional providers to serve Medicare/MediCal enrollees with mental health or substance use disorders offers a solution for this lack of access to care.

I work in the mental health field. When I worked for a large organization as a mental health professional, all of the therapists had the same job title (depending on the amount of time and licensure status). Therapists had a variety of degrees such as Marraige and Family Therapist (MFT), Masters in Social Work (MSW), and LPCC (there are other versions of this particular counseling profession). Each mental health therapist provided one-on-one therapy, family, and group counseling. The frustrating part is that although providers of mental health services may have the SAME TITLE and provide the SAME service, NOT ALL CAN BILL Medicare for the services they provide.

Additionally, consider that a person is receiving services from a mental health therapist who is an LMFT or LPCC. In this example, they have a wonderful connection with their counselor, and when the client turns 65, they need to change to Medicare/MediCal and will either have to pay cash or change therapists. This could also happen to a person who is receiving mental health treatment who becomes disabled and then begins receiving Medicaid.

DO IT NOW!!

AMEN!!
