Welcome to my odd little corner of Twitter.

I talk about social work, therapy, mental health, homelessness/housing, ADHD, parenting, and anything else that catches my attention long enough to tweet
I swear, have tattoos, & push the line on being too silly/sarcastic

Highlights:

I don’t know how to make it any simpler than this

@MichaelFulwiler @sheologian I think you meant to say

"That's what @sheologian said"

On this Labor Day we bring back this Tweet from 6 years ago. Still very relevant 🔥 #LaborDay

@DrAmyMarschall The first amendment protects your right to "fuck around" but does not preclude you from "finding out"

[Ty Curtis he/him @CounselingTc]

I think about this often, but have never (will never) put it as well as this

[Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @DrAmyPsyD]

The first amendment protects your right to talk shit. It does not preclude you from getting hit.

There is nothing quite like that feeling after several sessions in a row. Exhausted yet Energized. Grateful for getting the opportunity to glimpse some of the most interesting, painful, tender moments of a person's life. I love it

[Michael Fulwiler @MichaelFulwiler]

Therapy is wild, you go from talking about the weather to death to your deepest insecurities in 50 min and then go about your day.

@hcdawes @Brbhealth @MichaelFulwiler That's the friendship I am looking for

[Ty Curtis he/him @CounselingTc]

Just so we're all clear, we're what, 2 weeks into the race to 5k?

And no one is at 4500 yet.

Sounds like...

🎶Long September and there's reason to believe maybe this month will be friendlier than the last 🎶

[Ty Curtis he/him @CounselingTc]

@apooltoswim @GrumpyXian Totally! It's not an either/or situation, but it sometimes get framed that way, which leads to unending debates bc the people arguing are actually arguing about different aspects of the same problem

[Ty Curtis he/him @CounselingTc]

@apooltoswim @GrumpyXian not even suggest therapy when they complained of problem anxiety.

If we want to solve the problem, we need ways to make MH services more accessible & affordable as well as get that word out.

Not saying I have answers, but it's also silly to argue about which problem is worse

[Ty Curtis he/him @CounselingTc]

@apooltoswim @GrumpyXian a young person's MH problems often will rely on the tools they have (i.e. Rx meds) bc they live in the same places we do and hear the same mantra that "there are no therapists" and "therapy is too expensive" repeat ad nauseum. I've had students I see tell me that their doc did...

@Brbhealth @psych_k8 @MichaelFulwiler @hcdawes @DrAmyMarschall We won't forget that you were the original race of 5k contestant

[Ty Curtis he/him @CounselingTc]

@MichaelFulwiler @hcdawes @DrAmyMarschall @Brbhealth Also, @realQrampage is at 9252 in the race to 10k before @MichaelFulwiler hits 5k so he has to buy her a big ol' bag of gummies

[Ty Curtis he/him @CounselingTc]

Both things ARE true

[Dr. Amy, Psy.D. @DrAmyPsyD]

People deserve access to quality and affordable mental health care

AND

Therapists deserve to be paid well.

Both are true.
