Thanks for breaking this down! You make therapy seem like a fun and hopeful career. I have interviewed a bunch of therapists and they make it seem like a hard and self-sacrificing career. Which I’m sure it is but it’s been kind of discouraging for someone interested in the field!
Lovely video. What’s the book you were using in the video?
Psychology by Alan Porter!
@@techtotherapy thank you. I enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one 🙂
@@ONEOFAKINDSISTAH thank you!! That means a lot 💕
@@techtotherapy you’re welcome.
This ended too soon! I want to hear more about the specific kind of way you feel tired in this job, and what your journey looks like for making it work for you, please and thank you 😊
Aww thanks for watching my full video and commenting💕💕 I ended up rambling at the end of the recording, so I clipped it from the video 😅 but it'll try to make a video that answers your questions!
I recently spoke with an LMHC/ Art therapist associate and she opened her own private practice as an associate. I didn’t realize that was an option! But she just has to get the supervision. I wonder if laws are different in California as opposed to Washington
Yes I believe as long as you're under the licence of another therapist, you're able to work in private practice as an associate!
I wish more people who are not fit would start with OLY/weightlifting/powerlifting instead of cardio... it gives you a better feel and its easier to start instead if running for example. And its so addictive once you realize how much stronger you get, especially in the beginning when the gains are bigger... Hope you will have fun with it in the years to come! Cheers!
YESSSS!! I totally agree with you!! I definitely notice a difference in my body when I weightlift vs cardio.
You can do group therapy to have an impact on more people 😅
Yess I would love to one day!!
Thanks for posting these videos. I am considering the career but I go back and forth between spending the money on school for an underpaid profession or actually going into tech to try to get that tech money. You are making me consider the real reasons I wanted to become a therapist… although pay is still important 😢. What did you do in tech?
I mostly worked in startups in San Francisco. I was on the data, product, software engineering and operations teams. I tried a lot of different roles to see which one I liked the most😅
@@techtotherapy thanks for responding! What did you study to do those roles? Or would you ever make a video on what to do to become more exposed to these jobs for someone who is tech-curious?
@@eros8385 hiii! I studied economics and mathematics and started my tech career in data analytics! Thanks for your recommendation! I'll add it to my list of video ideas🙏🙏🤗🤗
Congrats!! did you go to CIIS? i am wondering as a prospective student.. we actually have very similar career changes. Thank you for sharing your experience
Thanks for your question! I'm not sharing which school I went to on this channel (for personal reasons, hope you understand!) But I'm happy to hear we have similar career changes! Looking for a good grad school that fits our needs are hard, so wishing you the best of luck in your search and application process !
Congrdulations! Did you do the counseling route or clinical psychology for your masters?
Thank you!! My masters was in clinical psychology! That was the degree I needed to become a licensed therapist at my school
Wow this is making me heavily question things
oh I hope in a good way haha !
Reasonable to expect pay to almost double in private practice with full license but taxes and self funding benefits not to mention overhead and marketing expenses can eat that up too. Best thing about this field is option to soft retire
oh yes a soft retire, I haven't even been thinking that far out in advance haha
@@techtotherapyyou’re gorgeous:)
@@our.secret1130 thanks for such a nice comment
@@techtotherapy thanks for your content!
Hi! I'm also interested in going the LPCC/LMFT route. Do you know any grads who work in the hospital systems? I'm already in the healthcare industry and I see some make low six figures in some of the big healthcare systems in the bay. Are there any people in your cohort thinking of this route?
Thanks for your question! Hmm I actually don't know of anyone close to me that is going that route, but I believe there were a couple people in my cohort that did that! The good thing if you go this route is you won't have to worry about finding clients, there will probably be plenty of people needing care
Am I the only one who thinks $52K is a good salary for only seeing 15 clients a week? I'm assuming that the clients are only coming 1x per week. If you see 30 clients, you can double that salary. IMO, 30 clients per week would be doable. Am I just deluding myself to make me feel better about the student loans that I'm about to have to pay back? 😬 I will edit to add that I'm from a southern state and that PLPC's usually charge less than what is listed here, but the cost of living is lower than CA.
Thanks for sharing!!! Oh another fellow therapist student! Wishing you the best of luck in your journey
Girl 💯 hear you on ALL this. I’m also ready to say ✌️ to tech. After 16 years of tech sales I’m feeling hella burnt out and ready to find my next adventure outside of tech and I love listening to people, helping people, and supporting people so yes. To all you said!
:))) tech sales does sound exhausting (to me) I hope you're able to find some rest while you figure out what your next adventure might be! Maybe we'll be colleagues one day💪💞
Hi i'm a BA psychology student from japan! i can really relate to you. i also switched tech industry to psychology because i didn't find meaning in my job and i didn't feel like i wanted to be better at it:( it took me a while to make the decision and i had doubt if it was the right decision but "if i didn't try i would regret it" that's so true! we never know what good or bad is gonna happen in the future no matter which path we take, so what's important is doing what we find valuable, rather than doing what looks good and safe. wish you good luck on your therapist journey✨
THANK YOU for commenting 💗💗 yes I totally resonate with what you said especially about how doing what we find valuable is more important than what looks good and safe. ugh yesss
Do you think this is as stressful as being in the medical field? Maybe just stressful in a different way? What do you enjoy the most about it?
*I know you never were in the medical field. Just imagining if you were.
Huh..... hmmm if I were to take a wild guess, I think the medical field would be harder mentally for me because I'm guessing there wouldn't be as much support as I do right now as a therapist (my supervisor supports me in a way I can't image a non-therapist would be able to) But this is all a guess, I have no idea!! haha
I've been a software developer for 6 years, recently I changed jobs, I'm still working in IT but in a different area. Software development wolrd is turning into a shithole. The managers, the clients, the constant client interviews for projects, the fact that nobody cares about making quality software and the only thing they want is to do stuff fast and for yesterday. It's a monkey job.
Thanks for sharing -- yes I also had a similar experience :(( it's really unfortunate because I think these jobs could be so fun if it was set up in a different way. For example, I enjoyed parts of the job, but it's the people and the expectations that really got to me at the end
@@techtotherapy absolutely.
Wow...I guess I must move to San Francisco because I am a licensed therapist working at a private practice and definitely do not make $180 per session. I wonder where are you getting this information from. I just want to make sure that if people decide to become therapists make sure your expectations are real. I absolutely believe I will eventually make $180 per session since I had only been licensed for one year but never did I make anything close to that right after I finished my Master's degree and if anyone has...kudos to you.
you can, especially mid-career with 10 years of experience. I used to design and manage websites for a few psychologists.
Hii! Thanks for sharing your experience, it's super nice to hear other therapist's experiences with setting their initial fee! I think it really depends on location, and the population you work with on what is considered "typical" to charge a session as an associate therapist.
oh wowww what an amazing and unique job! I would love to hear more haha
Wow, totally me right now
Heehee yay! Maybe another future therapist?
Binging your videos because I'm looking to make more of an impact with the work I do. (Marketing & Communications)
Yayy!! Aww thanks for sharing💕 Lmk if there's anything in particular that would be helpful to know more about
Thank you for making this! I am looking to transition from the communications field and become a therapist.
Awesome!! I feel like marketing/communications would have a lot of overlap with the work of a therapist
@@techtotherapy that's what I thought too. I'm big on finding and providing resources to people. I used to volunteer as a PR coordinator for an organization and a lot of it was communicating available resources and strategies to people.
oh yes! especially if you go into more of a social worker type role, that will be SUPER helpful!
@@techtotherapy yep! That's the route I plan on taking.
@@freshmedia713 best of luck!!! You got this!
Congrats to almost completing Grad school!
THANK YOUUU!!
Will be graduating with my CS degree next year and currently deciding if tech is for me. I have been considering this exact shift so thank you for sharing your experience!
You should try and do some internships to see if you like it or not. Personally, I love tech and working as a software engineer, but it is definitely not for everyone
Awww yay!! Thanks for sharing 🌻
What college did you decide to go to? I’m currently looking for the best choice for me. I live and work in Monterey. And definitely would prefer not to travel too much. I teach at DLI.
Thanks for your question!! I'm actually not yet open to sharing where I went to school on here (for personal reasons) but here's a list that might be helpful! It has a list of California schools with LMFT programs. I briefly looked at this when I was looking at schools. I don't think it's comprehensive, but it's a good place to start! www.mftcalifornia.com/list
I’m having a bad mixed race day, so came across your channel. Very helpful. I’m not acquainted with the literature, but it seems like you’re a pioneer of authentic mixed race research, not mixed race through a homogenous lens, or even binocular lens - which as you imply is still a form of mono-ethic colonization.
Wow thanks for such a nice comment 💕
If you’re mixed race then don’t live in Asian countries, especially China. The discrimination and micro aggressions over there are unbearable. What hurts most is seeing white people and black people in asian countries being treated quite well (despite their complaints), but I get treated like an actual criminal; guilty until proven innocent, but never accepted. I have also experienced on multiple occasions complete strangers come up to me in the street and tell me I’m ugly. White people don’t believe when I tell them. What also hurts is westerners not accepting me abroad because they consider me local, and even though they profess to be more open minded, reality proves otherwise. Like a stray dog wandering from group to group. There is also a lot of strangers smirking ridiculing etc. for absolutely no reason. But again I have watched how they treat monoethnic people completely different. By contrast, I do get some women who are very interested, but I daren’t take them outside lest the date is quickly ruined by discrimination from strangers imposing themselves into my private affairs. It’s like the Truman Show but nobody believes you. My own theory is that people subconsciously choose who to trust based on how similar they look to themselves, like animals skeptical of other species. If you judge people by their actions not their words, it seems that racism is the rule, not the exception to it. It took me until middle age to work this out, since I was never racist myself. Despite everything I would rather be enlightened than live in the perpetual child like ignorance and security of mono-ethnic cultishness.
Can I ask which school you went to? I am currently in the process of trying to find a program that fits my needs and have also realized how difficult it is to find!

No problem!
Hi! I'm in the same boat completely, currently still in tech. What steps did you take to get into peer to peer counseling, and what other pre-grad experiences would you recommend to be sure counseling is the career for you?
Thanks for your question 💕💕 and I'm excited to hear you're also thinking about switching to becoming a therapist! I talk about my volunteer experience and what other opportunities could be useful in this video here! ua-cam.com/video/sP9GxiZwVp8/v-deo.html

No problem!
Feel this. Leaving as well.
Wishing you a smooth transition to your next thing ✨✨
How much it will cost for international students for MS psychology and how many years?
That's a good question, I'm actually not sure. I think it will really depend on the program that you choose to do to! I don't believe there was anyone in my cohort that was an international student, but there was a separate program with many international students!
Hey😊, how is the job morket?
Hi! I would say in my area, the job market for therapists is pretty solid. I believe there are reports of this market growing in the future too as therapy gets less and less stigmatized

Thank you for sharing!!!
Let me know if there's any specific things I could share that would be helpful for you during this part of your journey!
Do you have the link to hotlines?
If you do a quick google search "hotline volunteer" I think you'll be able to find some places. There's lots of different types to support different groups of people so it'll be up to you to decide what most interests you. In San Francisco, there's this one: www.sfsuicide.org/volunteering/ And a national one that's similar (they have different hotlines per state) : 988lifeline.org/crisis-centers-by-state-and-u-s-territory/
What was the university 😅
Thanks for asking!! Ah I'm not disclosing where I go to school at the moment (for personal reasons) but I'm thankful for your curiosity. Hopefully you're able to find a school that fits what you're looking for!
@@techtotherapy oh okay ! I understand by any chance do you have any insight or thoughts on saybrooks university’s masters in counseling program ? How important do you think it is if a program is CACREP accredited
Hii!! I'm not familiar with Saybrooks University so I can't say much about that, but I will advise you to reach out to their admissions team to be certain that the courses you would take meet the requirements for the licensure you're trying to get. (Something like "do the courses at xxx University meet the educational requirements for xxx licensure in xxx state") My school wasn't CACREP accredited but all the courses meet the requirements for my license so it worked out for me!
@@arturof9875There are many states that won't even license you unless your school was CACREP. And soon they're going to be more stringent on the CACREP requirements, asking that students attend a CACREP institution to be licensed in general.
@@rand_-mk5lb I’m in California and they don’t acknowledge that so it’s not such a big deal for me but just wanted to here her thoughts on it. Ty
Hey! Me too, at the start of family therapy, I am happy for you :)
Yay!! More therapists~~
Hey😊, how is the job morket?
thank you for sharing your experiences!it was similar to how I prepared for my Masters in General Psychology degree I just finished. I was confused for a second and thought you did a masters in psychology, but it looks like you did a masters in counseling (which is the next degree im going for)! I'd recommended distinguishing clearer between the two because as I found out/realized the hard way, a master's in psych really only gets you ready for a Phd/psyd. if you want licensure as a LPCC, LMHC, LMFT etc. you actually need to study *counseling* at an accreddited school. the course work for a masters in psychology can also wildly differ from counseling.
Wow thanks for commenting and making that distinction clear! I had no idea there was such a big difference between the two! I got a degree in counseling psychology so I thought they were pretty similar 😅😅 And oh nooo, it sounds like you're on your way to get two masters degrees now? Wow you'll be so prepared once you start seeing clients then!
@@techtotherapy yes. it wasn't my intention but I ultimately want to see clients (but not do research or become a licensed psychologist). I feel like my psychology background will help me when i see clients but I'm not entirely sure how!
Hey😊, how is the job morket?
Politically Incorrect, but you’re just reverting to what your dna wants. Women like working with people, and men like working with things.
That's one perspective, thanks for sharing
This was insightful
Thank you!!
Thank you for your honesty!
Of course!!
Use chatgpt very good therapist
I’m not in tech but trying to leave my corporate gig to be in something more fulfilling and I’m interested in tech and or psychologist. But tech seems so volatile and another corporate situation I am over rn.
Thanks for commenting~~ Yeah I just shared my experience in tech, but I've also heard of some people who are able to find jobs that they really enjoy! Especially the people that find jobs that are in nonprofit and tech, that seems to be an interesting sector too if you're looking for a more fulfilling job that maybe is still more businesslike than psychology
Thank you sooo much for this video..im a mixed race (german/chinese) from germany, working on becoming a clinical psychotherapist. This is helpful and great to see people who look similar to me 😅
Aww thank you for commenting!! Ohmygoodness we have so many similarities! I'm so curious how this transition is different or similar in Germany! The clinic that I work at right now focuses on gestalt therapy which I've heard is much more popular in Germany than in the US. So I'm feeling extra excited that you reached out haha anyways thanks for watching my videos!
❤
Thank you for making this video! How did you find your volunteer opportunity at the clinic as a peer counselor? I’m looking for similar opportunities in my area but I’m having a hard time finding anything. I’m also coming from tech and don’t have any prior experience in the mental health space
Thank you for your question!! If you're having a hard time finding a local place that needs peer counselors I wonder if there could be some hotlines that take volunteers. There was a classmate that did that in my program!

I've considered moving from tech (product management) into more of a counseling role. But tbh, I don't want to go back to school and usually therapists don't make too much money. I love helping people, but live in California. How did you work through these financial concerns?
The financial concern is very real during this transition, I'm definitely feeling it right now, but I'm still very happy with my career transition. I think when I was deciding if I should make this move I weighed having a career that is more meaningful more than a career that made "easier" money. Not that being a PM is easy, but there's just a lot more money being funneled into the tech industry. Again this is just from my experience and perspective so I would be curious where you're heads at right now.
@@techtotherapy similar position. My immediate need is to find a job, but longer term I'm exploring career options I might find fulfilling and also will pay a comparable salary. There's got to be something out there like that
Ya I feel you, it's really hard to find a career/job that meets both of those wants!! Wishing you good luck with your current job search process ✨
@@techtotherapy thanks!
Hope that was helpful! Lmk if you have any other qs! I'm considering making a video on the finances of this career transition inspired by your comment and similar ones!
