Counseling/Psychotherapy

Counseling/Psychotherapy

Duties and Responsibilities:

Psychotherapy is a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health provider.

Salary:

$110,880

Education:

Most clinical, counseling, and research psychologists need a doctoral degree. Psychologists can complete a Ph.D. in psychology or a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree. A Ph.D. in psychology is a research degree that culminates in a comprehensive exam and a dissertation based on original research. In clinical, counseling, school, or health service settings, students usually complete a 1-year internship as part of the doctoral program. The Psy. D. is a clinical degree and is often based on practical work and examinations rather than a dissertation.

Reflection:

I don’t want to become this career because I’m not good at talking to people, and I can’t help others with their problems. I can barely handle mines.
