Who earns more? Psychotherapist or Social worker?
but most psychotherapy courses are only offered at postgraduate level. I’m assuming Psychotherapists earn more than social workers, though i’m unsure. What do you think?? :]

By and large the PH D Psychotherapists makes more.
The Psychiatrist makes even more than they do.
There are some exceptions. A MCSW with a lot of experience can end up running a place such as Friends of the Family and they might employ Psychotherapists, but the MCSW might make more pay because they run the place.
The MCSW fresh from college, has to work under supervision for a period of time before they can apply for a private license. The starting pay is $50K to $75K
A Psychologist or Pschotherapist with a PHD can apply for a license immeidately and make $85K to $125K
A Psychatrist who is board certfied can start at $150K
Social workers burn out in part because of very heavy caseloads for little pay in relations to the difficulty of the work. Often they earn about the same or somewhat less than the notoriously-underpaid teachers.
Psychotherapists are either MDs (with a specialty in Psychiatry) or PhDs in Psychology. They make lots of money.
