I’m Phillip Crum, Citizen and co-founder of AMHP and I say welcome to the new board members. Whether you realize or acknowledge it yet the mental health profession in America is on systemic life support. The Failing Organs Our family structure is broken and traditional roles have been vilified in the name of individual truth and half of our licensees support that with an “if it feels good it must be right for you” mindset. Our K-12 education is under assault by Cultural Marxists masquerading as teachers and School Board members. I understand that BHEC has no jurisdiction over school counselors but the public doesn’t know that or care and the school counselor involvement in the social grooming of kids…

I’m Kathleen Mills LPC-S and I currently supervise 4 associates. I watched the video of the last MFT meeting and was dismayed to hear the head of the board calling for action to interfere with the financial relationship between a business owner and it’s labor force. I don’t believe that type of action is within the purview of any of our boards. Splits are determined based on business expenses and the right of the person who’s putting up the capital to run a business and make a profit. Splits are not determined based on feelings, social ideology, or what the uninformed who wish to run things from their Facebook Groups think. An entitled generation of grad students has made enough…

Remember the windshield repair company that ran TV commercials that told you that if you used them to replace your cracked windshield the experience would be, “like it never happened”? That’s how I see counseling professionals and professional organizations treating the past 5 years; “Covid: like it never happened!” Why Are We Not Talking About Covid Issues? Here’s why I think this is happening. 1. Academia directing our discipline decided 20 years ago to hang their hats on a social agenda rather than science-based platform. Now they not only don’t want to give up their positions they’re going to have great difficulty ever doing so. How do you tell your membership that what you’ve been preaching full-throat in recent years…

Fixing our accrediting institutions will not be easy but it must be done. One of the key segments in need of repair in The New Counselor Supply Chain is the one dealing with Accrediting Institutions and for the most part they are broken. Their function is to determine which universities are the cream of the crop and merit status as America’s finest academic institutions. What we’re seeing are programs being fueled by DEI initiatives and an anti-Christian bias. Unfortunately this has become a classic case of who’s watching the watchers? Fixing Our Accrediting Institutions President Trump recently signed an Executive Order aimed at removing the stain of DEI ideology form the mission of the accrediting org’s. The EO’s main premise…

There are at least 6 informed consent opportunities when considering the overall transitioning of a minor. Most of this material we learned form Dr. Melanie Crites-Bachert and she can be heard discussing this in great and graphic detail in Episode 100 of The Therapy Disruptors podcast. Let’s jump in. The 6 Informed Consent Opportunities are: Parental, Social Transitioning, Mental Health Counselors, Hormone Manipulation, Cross-Sex Hormones, Surgical Transition. Let’s look at each stage. Stage #1: Parental Consent Parents are the first and last line of defense when it comes to protecting our children. Our kids are assaulted from multiple angles: through social media, at school, neighborhood contacts, at church and through extracurricular activities. It is the parent’s job to make sure the…

A common phrase counselors like to utilize in communicating with the public is “evidence-based” but what does it mean? And why is that our go-to identifier? Are we telling Joe Citizen to “follow the science” or “follow the evidence”? Words matter. They matter even more given the current state of our profession and the redefining of words to pursue agendas. So What Does “Evidence-Based” Mean? I’m going to quote from GROK AI since I can do no better in crafting a simple definition: “The term “evidence based” refers to a concept, practice, or claim that is supported by evidence. Evidence can take various forms, such as empirical data, observations, or even anecdotal accounts. The defining characteristic is that there is…

The BHEC Council met Tuesday Feb 18th. Before we dive into the “what happened” allow me to provide some oversight for anyone who may need it. If you don’t need framework then skip down to “So What Happened?” at the bottom. The Framework for Understanding Events BHEC is a TX Agency. It governs the four mental health licensing boards, LPC, MFT, Psych, and SW. The primary function of those boards is to license new therapists not administer social justice. The BHEC Council is a next-tier board composed of two members from each of the 4 boards just mentioned, one professional and one public member, plus one additional public member appointed by the Governor to run the Council. Their function is…

My name is Kathleen Mills. I am an LPC-S and co-creator of AMHP, which is a professional organization for those who have been minoritized, by those who fail to recognize, “Conscience Protection Rights”. Our members have told us they join our professional association due to feeling dismissed by their values from their previous organizations. We are blessed by our membership. They are good people, love what they do, and want to be the best therapist they can be to the clientele they selected and serve. Highly Competent to Serve My Target Populations I am a highly competent therapist, and I resent anyone telling me otherwise or redefining the term based on ideology of the day. I don’t hate anyone, and…
