If I obtain a PhD in Clinical/Counseling Psychology, what would I have to do to hold private practice?

I’m 26 and I’m debating whether to apply to a Master’s or PhD program starting next fall.

What ever you do, I would make sure you apply at more than one program, just in case you don’t get in – plus it looks good on your application that you have applied to more than one school and are very serious about continuing your education. In my area, the PhD programs mainly accept students who already have Master’s degrees, but it may be different in your area.

Most of the programs worth getting into are pretty competitive. I know the one I was accepted into only took 20 students a year and we had to go through an extensive admissions process with interviews and such. There was a joke on campus that it was easier to get into law school then get into our program. There was another “open admission” similar degreed program on campus that took anyone with a pulse, and I would steer clear of those programs, or you’ll end up with a bunch of crazy people in your classes.

you do not could have a PH. D. to be an approved therapist in NYC or NYS. yet inner maximum practice is stressful recently because of the fact maximum folk won’t be able to arise with the money for inner maximum practice expenses and controlled care coverage does not pay as plenty for inner maximum practice. maximum therapist consisting of my brother who’ve inner maximum practice’s even have another form of earnings which brings interior the majority of their earnings. My brother is a professor and does particularly some on line coaching for the college that he instructors for. My daughter’s psychologist additionally has a private practice yet she additionally works in a school because of the fact the college psychologist and on the well being center that sends her to the college. So specific, you may grow to be an approved therapist in manhattan yet do not plan on your practice offering maximum of your earnings, It does not take place for the final public of therapist to any extent further.

You have lots of options. AMong some things you’ll need experience, business license, etc… Talk to some of your collegues and professors. Its usually not a good idea to go right into private practice immediately following after obtaining your degree.
