How to find the right counselor/therapist

Everyone can benefit from seeing a therapist, but finding a mental health professional can feel overwhelming: Every therapist has their own style, specialty, and yes, price. Here's what you should know before you try to find a therapist. Start the search. You have a few options for first steps. Your insurance company can provide a list of in-network practitioners or you can solicit recommendations from friends or family. Even though referrals may seem like the smartest option, some therapists may prefer to keep clients unaffiliated to avoid conflicts of interest or having to keep track of who said what. If you're totally overwhelmed and need to offload the search, it might be worth hiring the services of a firm, which provides a phone consultation and then takes care of the search for you. The cheapest and most surefire avenue to find your own professional: Turn to a reliable, national database like GoodTherapy.com  or PsychologyToday.com . It's a little more work

Prep School Kid's Dad Pays $500,000 Bail

Alleged insider trader Matt Kluger must be thanking the stars right now that he has parents who can afford to back his $1 million bond with $500,000 in cash. Thanks to his parents, the alleged prep school kid turned insider trader Matt Kluger who was arrested last week is "free" on house arrest. He can leave the house only to care for his and his partner's (surrogate) children or to get mental health counseling (if he leaves the house for any other reason, his electronic monitoring system -- an ankle bracelet, we're guessing -- will alert the police) but obviously, it's much better than the alternative (jail). You'll remember that the former M&A lawyer is alleged of insider trading based on tips he learned reading the law firm Wilson Sonsini's internal system to learn about upcoming deals. We already knew a lot about Kluger, like how he went to prep school, started his career at a car dealership, became a lawyer, and used his job to find out about upco

Bloomberg News Video with Matthew Kluger

Former corporate attorney Matthew Kluger was part of a three-person insider-trading ring for 17 years, stealing secrets from some of the most prominent U.S. law firms, including Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati PC and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. Speaking to Bloomberg News reporter David Voreacos at Kluger's Oakton, Virginia home, he provides a unique view of insider trading by a mid-level lawyer. Kluger, who made less than $1 million from the scheme, pleaded guilty and was sentenced last month to 12 years in prison, the longest insider-trading term in U.S. history -- a sentence he believes is unjust.

Fangtasia

Originally posted by the investigative due diligence firm Gray Matter Group Inc . on their blog . This firm is highly recommended. For those of you unfamiliar with the name Fangtasia, it was the brand name of the blood substitute featured on the hit HBO show Tru Blood. In the show, vampires could drink this faux blood concoction in lieu of drinking the blood of an animal, like humans. This is the first thing that came to mind with the sudden explosion of news surrounding Elizabeth Holmes and the fraud blood-testing company she founded, Theranos. There have been numerous articles, TV shows, etc. about her cosmic rise and fall, but no doubt, the release of the highly anticipated documentary by Alex Gibney on HBO called The Inventor: Out For Blood in Silicon Valley has everyone talking about this all over again. Much of what has been brought to light has been the work of one really tough investigative journalist at The Wall Street Journal, John Carreyrou. The must read book
