By Cliff Schuman, LMFT

For many, therapy can be daunting. We all have broken places inside us and it can feel shameful to put words to issues that are bothersome.  At its core, that is an act of courage. As therapists, our aim is to understand and be compassionate of these shameful and broken places that sometimes inhibit our clients from having a deeper, more powerful experience.

When it comes to changes or new experiences, I tend to prefer anticipation and preparation as my dancing partners. Because once you anticipate possible situations, you can prepare yourself and plan accordingly.  However, four years ago when I first began as a Couple and Family Therapist, I found myself learning many new steps and moves to dance with uncertainty.

​Is it time to take that next step in your journey to becoming an LMFT? That was a thought I had last month as my 1500 clinical hours were winding down. I had put off the national licensing exam for as long as possible but finally found myself unable to come up with any more reasons not to take it. So I began studying, took the exam, and passed with flying colors! Here are some tips that I knew or wish I knew going in...

As a new clinician, it can take time to develop your style with confidence.  Young therapists often request tools from their supervisor and colleague’s in efforts to find direction in their treatment.  Couple’s therapy can be an especially difficult modality that beginner counselors struggle with.  Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an effective model for couples, which has a high success rate and outlines specific steps and stages for the therapist to utilize.

ICD 10 Codes Transition Made Easy

9/22/2015

0 Comments

 
Keep Calm and Use ICD 10 www.ManhattanMFT.com
As of October 1, 2015 the ICD 10 codes will replace the ICD 9 codes.

The International Classification of Disease (ICD) 10 will be the preferred method for recording diagnostic codes starting October 1, 2015.  Most insurance companies will now require the ICD-10 codes in order to get reimbursed.  Not to worry, the transition is not painful!

Start by using the DSM-5 instead of the DSM IV-TR.  The DSM-5 lists the ICD-10 codes with an F followed by a number at the left of each diagnosis.   

You can also go to https://www.cms.gov/medicare-coverage-database/staticpages/icd-10-code-lookup.aspx to find codes. 
For training on the DSM-5 changes contact MMFT or keep an eye on our upcoming workshops.

By Rita Garcia, M.A., L.M.F.T.

When a couple receives therapy to repair their relationship they often describe obstacles relating to communication, jealousy and infidelity.  An equally common issue that effects couples are sexual disorders or dysfunctions. 

Statistically, 50-70% of couples identify relationship distress originating from sexual problems.  These, as labeled by the DSM 5, can include Erectile Dysfunction, Premature Ejaculation, Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder in Women and Genital Pain in Men and Women.  If there is no medical cause for these problems, couples counseling is recommended.

Having a professional support system, including a clinical supervisor, is crucial to one's growth as therapist.
