Hi Zarielle;
If you are in the 10th grade and want a resume for a therapist: You would need to put the following information on your resume.
You need to say you have a passion for helping people, to be a therapist you have to be a people person. In addition you need to be non -judgmental Furthermore you need to state that you are professional and you are multi cultural diverse. Remember being a therapist is helping people heal from past wounds and hurts.
I am impressed that you are in the 10th grade and you want to be a therapist.
Best Wishes and Good Luck On Your Resume

Hi Zarielle,
I love that you’re thinking about this early; it gives you a real head start. At your level, your resume should highlight your growth as a person and your desire to assist others, instead of your level of experience. Your education, including your school, grade level, honours classes, and strong subjects, is a good place to start. That shows your commitment and consistency.
Next, include any experiences or activities, even if they don't seem "big." Assisting students, mentoring peers, volunteering, babysitting, and participating in religious or community organisations are all examples of what counts. Becoming a therapist is related to everything that involves helping, listening, or working with others.
You can also include a section on skills, particularly those related to this career, such as responsibility, teamwork, empathy, communication, active listening, and patience. Every day, therapists use these fundamental abilities.
If you’ve started exploring psychology on your own, like reading books, watching educational videos, or taking small online courses, you can include that under “Interests” or “Independent Learning.” It shows initiative and curiosity.
One easy method to format your CV would be:
- Education
- Activities/Experience
- Skills
- Interests
Don’t worry about making it perfect right now. Focus on building small, consistent experiences, like volunteering or joining a club related to mental health or helping others. Over time, those will naturally strengthen your resume. You’re not behind, you’re actually early. And that gives you plenty of time to grow into the path you’re interested in.
Best wishes!
