Question by Arnold: Is there such thing as “therapy without records”?
I’m 16 and I have a lack of higher-end emotion and sadistic tendencies. I believe I am a malignant narcissist. I want to receive therapy, but I will only receive therapy if everything is kept away from my medical records and I can use a fake name.

Depends on where you live, ie state/province .. it also depends on whether your willing to pay for the counseling yourself or if you need it state/province funded

i know in Ontario, each city/region has a mental heath and addictions program, that is funded by ohip, that could possibly provide you with this councling, they do not need your OHIP (health care number) just your name and address, and they do not verify the information,

Question by Andi: Does online therapy sound like a good business?
I’m trying to make a little extra money and I thought of this idea but am completely unsure on how successful it could be.
I would like to do online therapy, where I spend an hour with a customer in a chat room or through instant message. I would deal with issues of depression, anxiety, loneliness, anger, family issues, relationship issues, identity issues, sexual identity issues, and I have some experience with a couple of personality disorders and psychological disorders.
I would not try to pass off as an actual professional and would urge people to seek professional help if necessary. I just think that most people would benefit from having someone to talk to about their problems. An appointment with a licensed psychologist is more than $ 100 a visit, so most people can’t afford it, others don’t want the stigma of seeing a psychologist.
I planned on charging $ 20 an hour.

Question by Truth: Do I need help or can I handle this on my own?
I know this is a problem, I’m not in denial but really, does anyone think it’s worth getting help for?
When I was 15 I cut myself for the first time. I’ve always felt down about myself and admittingly don’t have a lot of confidence but I’m not sure why I did it that first time. I didn’t do it again till a year later when I started to feel extremely stressed and overwhelmed with school, and also felt really alone. I had friends but we were never close. Well I continued to do it for about 4 months, taking careful care to keep it hidden, and no one ever noticed, but I just stopped at one point… now I’m 21 have started doing it again. I’m dealing with a very stressful break up and have let my feelings effect my grades in school and relationship with friends by becoming really withdrawn. The thing is, I’ve always been able to stop so I feel like since I recognize it’s wrong and know what’s causing it, I’ll stop when I’m ready, but then why am I still doing it? I feel guilty after.
I should also add that I’m still in contact with the guy I broke up with even though he cheated, lied and treated me like crap while we were together and has made my life hell since, but I feel like if I don’t keep talking to him, he’ll make things even worse.

Question by Andy: What Kind Of Salary Can an LCSW in Texas Expect?
I’m currently a 23 year old male graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin. I’m doing the Masters of Social Work program in order to allow me to earn an LCSW after I graduate. My ultimate career goal is to have a private practice, working primarily with people with mood disorders, drug issues, and perhaps couples therapy.

What kind of salary can I expect out of the gate? Ten years from now? Anyone have any general advice they’d like to share? It’s all appreciated, thank you!
