I wrote an extensive review of Square on my tech blog for therapists. It is more complicated than just downloading the app. You also have to send away for the Square reader and it can take some time to get it. You can read my explanation and detailed review here http://iwebu.blogspot.com/2011/01/web-secret-138-square.html

Comment on Walk-and-Talk Therapy – An Interview with Clay Cockrell, LCSW by Jason Ward

I stumbled upon this intervention myself a few years ago when the fire alarm went off in my office and would not turn off! My patient and I spent the rest of the session walking round the local park……its not for everyone but walking and talking therapy can be very useful for certain clients.

As usual, Lynn Grodzki has offered novel and insightful ideas about our practices. She is on target in identifying three paths that therapy practices follow. Having worked with the criminal justice system for many years, I suggest a fourth path, the court-driven client. Many therapists miss opportunities for attracting these clients because they underestimate the number of court-referred clients (perhaps one million at any given time) which continue to increase as a result of treatment success and declining state budgets for incarceration.

Thanks for this great interview. I love what you are doing with your clients. I first heard about this at a Catholic School I interned at. The school counsellor would walk with the student clients and had great results.

I am yet to come across any colleagues doing this in Australia. Food for thought!

I’ve been through the process on behalf of a number of physicians and your tips are dead on. The process can be a long and painful one but it does help streamline the credentialing process. Most major payors now require a CAQH record and that is an big step forward from when each one had their own forms and formats. Hospitals too should be approaching their credentialing in a similar manner. If not CAQH than something more in tune with their requirements.

42% of small business owners who use social media marketing are receiving sales leads from Facebook, 36% from LinkedIn, and 16% from Twitter. — These number seem really high to me. From my experience (and what I’ve heard from colleagues who have put in serious time online. It looks more like a lead a year from Facebook and linked in, and nothing from the twitter noise machine. Sorry to be so negative…I’ll let you know if I get to the tipping point and social media starts pouring in the leads!

You’re correct credentialing is a time consuming activity. I’ve seen it take 6 months or more with phone calls too numerous to mention. It is therefore one best left to people who know the in’s and out’s of the process. It will ultimately save the practice time and moeny
