Hi Everyone, I'm looking for FDR members who are interested in practicing online, skype based therapy or recommendations of therapists who would be ideal for this project. I would like to​ invite you to become a partner in my new venture: http://reparent.me This software has been a labor of my love. It has taken me 5 years from the inception of the idea, thousands of dollars of my personal savings, hundreds of days of coding and testing. And this is a project that would not exist if I hadn't found FDR. I quit my full time job to work on this. Please help me make it succeed. What is it? It is a web based application to connect freelance online therapists with clients seeking therapy. It presently functions as a directory and​ an anonymous​therapy-request board but will grow to become an automated online assistant to people in the therapy profession. Why did I create this? On one side of the market spectrum you have clients desperately seeking help but unable to find it either due to a poor offering or due to the providers being out of their price range. On the other hand you have skilled adults eager to offer advice to the wounded masses but going through lengthy and unnecessary industry barriers-to-entry to reach economies of scale and justify their careers. I knew good counselors offering great prices, way below the market price for an average licensed therapist, but unable to get enough clients to make a sustained living. Not one of them was trying to undercut the market, they were only trying to reach the underprivileged, psychologically wounded members of society. There are 10 bad therapists for every 1 good therapist. I intend to fill this site with providers from the latter camp and thus make this offer on this platform. Join me and help make this world a little better. The site currently has two main features: A directory of therapists and counselors offering online therapy. An anonymous board where users can come and describe their needs, where therapists can make their offers and then the user can select one that suits him best. Also, I am working on the following features for the next release: Scheduling: Let clients see exactly when you are available and when you are off work. No need to worry about time zones. Get automatic email reminders before sessions Integrate with Google, Outlook calendars. Payments and invoicing: No more worrying about invoicing and charging clients. Set up automatic recurring payments Let invoices follow your calendar events (therapy sessions) In built cancellation billing procedure Payment provider integration: PayPal Bitcoin The site will continue to grow, but needs your loyalty and support. I have great new features on the way but it will take time and persistence. I request a 2% donation from the providers for all future business earned through or due to the site. This commitment will not be enforced for now but if you keep this agreement, I can avoid incorporation and thus avoid charging a fee, which would have to be more than 2% when including payment providers fees, taxes etc. How do I join? Check out the terms of service here: http://reparent.me/terms To get access to the site as a provider you need to register as a regular user (http://reparent.me/auth/register) and click on your profile icon, you will be presented with an option to "Become a provider". Your application will be sent to me, once approved your profile will be publicly visible. While I do make your provided email visible on the site, I've gone through great lengths to obfuscate it under the hood. This prevents spammers and other malicious users from having easy access to your email address. I also recommend you set up a gravatar (http://gravatar.com) account, this will be used to get your profile image on the site. The app is in the early stages and I'm looking for good therapists and counselors with a proven track record in talk-therapy. I will not accept providers who intend to recommend any form of medication. If you know people who fit the bill, please feel free to forward this message to them or let me know and I will approach them. Thanks for reading!

Maybe you’ve seen some of my posts here on the self-knowledge boards. You may already be aware that I offer therapy over skype, but I also offer aid and consulting with journaling. Journaling has been the foundation to my happiness and gaining self-knowledge. As much growth and healing as I’ve experienced during therapy, I’ve gained so much more on my own in my journals. I know and understand that journaling is can be a very difficult and emotionally overwhelming process for some people, and I would like to offer my services and experience to help. To mention my skype therapy practice as well, I am available at a very affordable rate--especially compared to in-person therapists--and I have something that I believe most therapists do not; I’ve done the work myself! I began listening to FDR in 2008, started journaling in 2010, sought therapy in 2011, and have dedicated thousands of hours to diving into and understanding my own psyche. I’ve seen just how much I’ve grown and changed, and I’ve likely faced challenges similar to what you may be experiencing now such as: procrastination, self-attack, social anxiety, sexual shame, uncertainty about the future, distress over a toxic home or work environment, insomnia, isolation, loneliness, vanity, emotional disconnection, and compulsions/addictions regarding caffeine, video games, and sweets. If you’re looking for a therapist or need some help journaling, and you’re feeling curious--or nervous while reading this--then you can either contact me through PM over the boards or email me through a form on my website. I hope that you find what you’re looking for, Drew Woods

Hello Everyone, I'm offering my services to any and all interested in seeking a counsellor. My journey into self-knowledge started four years ago when I was still living with my parents. During my journey, I have learned so much about myself, and now I'm ready to share what I've learned with others. I offer counselling over skype at a competive rate. You can send me a message through here or through my website if you're interested in a free 30 minute consultation. Thanks, -Drew Woods http://journeyinward.net/counselling-services/
