What skills have helped you be successful as a therapist?
I'm thinking of becoming a therapist, specifically teen/youth therapy, and I was wondering if there are any specific skills that have helped you. Have you learnt these skills over time? Or are they skills that you seemed to have innately?
What do I need to become a psychologist or mental health professional?
I want to know what kind of degree is needed to become a psychologist. I have searched the internet for answers to this quite a few times, and the answers range anywhere from a 4 - year Bachelor's degree to a M.A. or even a PhD. I would also like to know what kind of degree is generally preferred by employers when they hire a mental health professional. I would like to be a therapist, not working in a hospital, either a private - practice or an online/office hybrid therapist that videochats with patients and or makes housecalls or has office visits. #psychology #psychologist #psychotherapy #clincial-mental-health #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthprofessional #mentalhealth
