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?
Yes! A couple of things come to mind, firstly would you be interested in private practice...it is IMO the most sustainable way to be a therapist...if not I would think about what is drawing you to the field and if that could be found in other avenues such as the medical field or another helping profession that pays better.
