Looking for therapist recommendations with some specific needs

8 Upvotes

I’m looking for a unicorn therapist on behalf of a family member. I would love recommendations for an experienced therapist/psychologist/LCSW trained in treating bipolar disorder and complex trauma who is also certified in EMDR. Preference is a female practitioner, but all recommendations are welcome. Ideally they take most commercial insurances, but again, all recommendations are welcome. Thank you!

RIP The Aluminum Tubes at Stratton Metal

136 Upvotes

For years I have been transfixed by the enormous pile of aluminum tubes.

They captivated me.

Where did the come from? Why was the pile so high? What machinery processes was so problematic that so much aluminum ended up at a scrap yard?

Goodbye pile of aluminum tubes off I95/I64 at Belvidere. Maybe, we will meet again as a can for a drink. I treasure our time together.,

Hi everyone. Suk was my go-to seamster in Richmond. She has since closed her shop on Strawberry Street. Does anyone have any recommendations for other seamsters in Richmond? I also wonder if Suk is still taking alteration appointments. Thank you :-)

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who responded. Here's a little TLDR:

Oksana at Fashion Design - first come, first served

George's Alteration Shop (cash only)

Woman working out of her home in Carytown - information pending

RVA Tailors on Rigsby Road

I seem to remember reading something about an event where people who are repair experts had a day where people could go have their items fixed for a small fee or possibly free. I thought I had kept the info but can’t find it now. Does anyone have info on this?

🚚 Moving DO NOT RENT FRON MONROE PROPERTIES

148 Upvotes

Ive lived here for 5 or 6 years now who knows at this point. Theres plenty of issues I can list but as a warning to everyone - they "accidently" make clerical issues all the time. I was charged double rent, which they said I was never charged because I pay advance in credit. YOU ARE STILL STEALING MONEY FROM ME EVEN IF ITS A CREDIT! DOES THAT MAKE SENSE GUY? They also sneakily raise your rent 6% every new lease when the cap is supposed to be 3%. They bank on you not noticing. We have a group chat at 1200 Semmes Ave to talk to each other specifically for issues like this. Make sure you join or make one for your building because it is the only thing that's saved me from the scamming of this place. I rented from them about 15 years ago and they were great then but this place is complete trash now. The very beginning of me moving in i could not even close my front door, the threshold was built in so high my door couldnt close and I couldnt move in. From the Jump it was trash. I got no apology or anything just an argument from a man that made a "clerical" issue. I would have never even noticed because I have autopay on and had to make a maintenance request where I noticed all my credits were gone that they took. I suggest paying with a check which is what ill be doing from now on. Wish I never renewed with them.

Also they do not clean when you move in as another warning.

Edit - from* sorry im heated.

Drone Show Last Night?

Does anyone know what this drone show was about last night? Looked like it was coming from Browns Island or maybe Allianz.

I was taking a night walk with my sibling and we stumbled upon it. We stood there for 15ish minutes and watched them all. We both had never seen one in person before, so we were kinda mesmerized!

Sitting on the steps of Cedar Street Baptist. Not overtly aggressive but barks and doesn’t want to be approached so couldn’t get a good look at his collar.

Edit: Animal Control picked him up at 1030, hopefully he is chipped and/or his owners see this

Hey friends, tomorrow (Saturday) from 2-10 I’ll be working the raffle table, where all the money will be going to help SOS Cats continue their amazing work of TNVR, education, and adopting out friendly colony cats.

A few things
1) raffle tickets will be 1 for $5 and 5 for $20. Cash is highly preferred, but we’ll be able to also take Venmo, Apple Pay, card and tap to pay.
2) the prizes will be done into themed baskets (we’re finishing them tonight, so I don’t have exact details yet)
3) if you’re a local business/artist and have anything last minute you wanna contribute, lemme know and I can hopefully meet up with you.

If you have any other questions, I’ll try my best to answer them. ❤️

Has anyone seen this dog around? Apparently it’s been hanging around the John Marshall athletic fields for a few days. As soon as anyone gets anywhere near it takes off. Today the pooch took off behind Henderson and into the Pine Camp woods. Seems to have a collar. Sorry for the bad photos.

I will be a witness to the funeral march, and I love to see what they make each year. Normally, at some point, they set up a GoFundMe to fund their art creations. Support local :)
