New subscriber here, majoring in psychology at Sinclair Community College. Thank you for your helpful videos! Even as I’m finishing my associate degree, I still feel so clueless. ( I want to be a child therapist)😅

"Id get a degree in business." This woman is speaking the truth. A friend of mine recommended it, and I didn't believe him. Turns out, its a VERY solid degree to have in all walks of life, before moving on to CMHC or the like. Well, thanks you just saved me $50,000 lol!

Great information. I agree with you 100% . Paying your dues isn't always beneficial for you. Choosing who you serve is actually a benefit to your clients.

Great information! I start my Counseling Medicine in Clinical Mental Health on Jan 13th. I've been reading my Psychopathology, which covers many disorders. They are uncommon and can be considered niche disorders, and I agree!

Question Should i go straight to a master's degree in psychology or do a bachelor's first? Thank you

how many years you went to school to be a health mental counselor

Thank you this was really helpful

I had mentioned in a previous comment that my friend is overwhelmed with his program. He's getting a Master's in SW. Right off in his first semester he's got 15 credit hours, an internship, he got paired with a NP to establish policy and scholarships, has had to work at outreach events, and a research project. His first week of class he had 300 pages of reading due and had writing assignments on them. Second week he had 19 different readings with the longest being 80 pages and the rest between 30-45. He had to quit his job to do the program. His last final, he told me his last final was nearly 7 hours long. All of this on top of commuting an hour to his university. I almost went the same route as him but I think I would've dropped out! I'm so nervous about my LPC program!

Do you know anyone who could share their experience as an ALS Therapist? Amazing content and easy to understand thank you!

I am in the process of applying to different grad schools and I had been thinking the LPC route as I am interested in going into private practice as my end goal. But between CACREP certifications and the headache of finding a program that is affordable and in my city (I live in a huge Eash Coast city!) that has the CACREP cert, I am fed up and feel like not only would the social work route be better from a schooling perspective but I may likely get to the same result with a better education (in my circumstance) in social work. Your video was perfectly timed, it is so hard to sort through all of this info when looking into becoming a therapist. I had been worried that maybe the LPCs were more respected or sought after, paid better (?) in private practice than LCSW but I don't think that's true anymore or never was.

Thank you so much for the informative videos! So helpful!

Im applying to a masters in clinical counseling right now after getting my bachelor's in psychology im so confused nowww because you made so many valid points!! I need a backup plan

I am taking the exam this May. Thank you for the free resources!

I was sold on becoming and LPC or LMFT even though my friend who is a LCSW said it is best to go her route because I will have wayyyy more options… i looked over the coursework and it didn’t seem enjoyable in comparison to the LPC or LMFT load… after this video I’m like aggrghhhhhhhhhhhhh.. thank you so much for sharing!!!

What influence do you think the proposed interstate compact will have on the profession?

Your videos always seem to come at the right time. I was dead set on getting my masters in counseling but lately I’ve been considering social work instead. Do you know, can you work at a place as a counselor with a masters in social work? Or can you only have your own private practice?

honestly debating on if i should pursue social work vs therapists and at first i was fully sold on therapy but now leaning more towards sw

I'm in graduate school, making a payment plan like you ! MED in Counseling CMHC! My program is 100% with one in-person residency. I currently work in higher education as an academic advisor, so I also have higher ed as a backup plan.

Would one be able to get a masters in social work from a bachelors in psych or behavioral sci? I personally find it so important to learn things specifically about mental illness before I join the workforce.

I have a bachelors in business and looking at a masters in social work 😂 Thank you for the video! Perfect timing!

Her hair looks so pretty!

Love the video! If I work for an agency, how likely is it that I'll have enough control to work any day of the week (even weekends) except Monday and Friday? I'll be starting my grad program in the next couple of months and will hopefully be practicing as a counselor no later than two years. Our plan is for my wife to go part time at her company so we can stay on her benefits and insurance but her part-time is only offered as working Monday and Friday and will need someone to watch our daughter while we're both working. Just wondering, how likely it would be that I can have off Monday, Fridays and maybe some Saturdays as they do sometimes work those two.

This came at the right time as I begin exploring schools! Thank you so much!!

Thank you for making this video! Can you talk more about online grad schools vs in person ones? I'm about to be a mother and have been dying for a career change but also don't want to miss out on any baby milestones. Ive heard some conflicting information about online schools having a negative stigma attached to it, and curious if you have any thoughts/knowledge about this. Thank you 💖

This is the first I've heard about taking a second exam (third exam for me after completing the one I need for my masters). In order to be a counselor, does everyone have to complete that second exam (extra C)?

Were you concerned that there is a larger practice with the same name? Is that an issue, or could it be a legal issue? Is it something we should worry about? Thanks!

I love this video. Thank you so much for making it. Although I have to admit, I find it kind of strange you have no pictures on your wall.

Hi Allyssa, Thank you. This video was very helpful and insightful for me. I am going to start grad school for mental health counseling next year and I know I want to have my own practice. I’ve changed my career twice when I found out I don’t want to be in the hospitality field which is what I received a bachelors in and when I got out the military in the Coast Guard. But I’m pretty sure I am going to love the LMHC field because I love helping people and I want to make a difference especially for veterans. I graduated with an MBA this past year & always had Mental health counseling in mind for a while even before I decided to go back to school for the MBA. I’m looking forward to starting this new chapter and I will keep watching your videos. (:

This is going to be totally off topic, but what color is your wall? Ive been trying to pick a color for my bedroom for a whole week, and this one seems perfect! Thanks for your content by the way!!❤

Would love to hear more about your youtube journey as a therapist and how it is going now that you are monetized?

This may be a trivial question but as someone about to go to school to be an LPC, how do days off work? How does that affect clients? Thank you for your very informative videos! Keep them coming!

Being a Therapist has always been my DREAM ! even now I find myself talking to people and they just start sharing their entire life stories ! I really feel like its my calling

Thank you for your effort of making this video. 🙏🏼

Very inspiring, especially in terms of making creating a UA-cam channel seem like a manageable option for busy practitioners!

I LOVE number four and five. Number four - the price is out of control. Number five - I was shocked by the fact that some people can teach in counseling without counseling degrees. What?!

This comfort level feels like something you've read in a bunch of books and have no history of yourself directly. Am I wrong? Where does this option come from? You seem more concerned about being an influencer than providing healthy information? I could be wrong from where I'm standing with no information, but maybe stop giving advice!

How do the payments plans work for better help?

Especially when u take it 3 times, very. Expensive

If you can't feel empathy for another person, probably don't become a therapist.

I am 41, do you think it’s too late to go get masters ?

Hello!! New Subscriber here :) I am 41 and thinking of getting my masters in social work or as a MHC. I live in Ny.

Great points. I’m starting MHC Masters program soon. Looking forward to it. It’s my second career at midlife but I’m looking forward to autonomy and flexibility. Thank you ❤

I wanted More info on counseling degree, mostly social work was discussed

LISW-S here! I know some states have different requirements for social workers. I believe it’s PA & FL, but that my of changed. But with a bachelors you can still become a LSW, you can’t do therapy obviously. But some jobs do have preference over licensed vs. non licensed bachelors.

Hi Allyssa, love your videos, really helping me in my grad school journey. I’ve been really considering enrolling into a LPC program, but I’m having a hard time thinking of putting so much money and time into a career that could not be sustainable for me income wise, I’m really passionate about the work, but I worry about the statistics I see online for rates, do you have any advice after being the in the field and working?

Thanks great advice

Hi! Just watched one of your videos. New subscriber!
