I’m making $25 an hour.

That sounds great, except when my supervisor is charging Medicaid over $200 a session. I get $25 per session. Who knows how much the private insurances. My supervisor had given me under 20 supervision hours in a year. She keeps promising more clients, but I’m lucky to have 15 appointments in two weeks. I am making under 12k a year. My supervisor also charges Medicaid clients late cancel/no show fees and I recently found out that might be illegal (haven’t deep dived into that yet).

I’m a trauma specialist in Michigan. I’m an LLPC. With all my reading and outside session work I’m managing to be ~40% done with my supervision a little over a year in.

I wanted to start doing my own cash pay with her supervising the clients. But it’s apparently illegal for money to not go through your supervisor.

So I’m now stuck and feeling like shit.
