For any post or current therapists what was the hardest and easiest part of the career?
Hello, my name is Sofia I’m a 7th grader in middle school. I am debating whether or not I should pursue the career of being a child therapist. What are some hardships that come along with this career path. Please share some pros and cons.
What pros and cons are their to being a therapist?
I am a 7th grader at Crane Middle School and I really want to be a therapist. I have always wanted to help people with their mental health. I want to make positive impacts on peoples lives. But emotional burnout and the irregular income I don’t like. I would not want to be emotionally burnt out. I also don’t like the fact that you don’t always have the same income. And I think for all of that school and you need a license to have one on one therapy sessions I honestly don’t think it might be worth it.

How do I know if I should pursue my MSW?
How do I know if I should pursue my MSW? I’m early in my career and work in marketing, and I dislike the corporate 9-5 culture. I want to find more meaningful work that suits my soft skills better. Mental health has always been of importance to me and I want to be more people-centered, and honestly I would enjoy the prospect of working remotely or having my control over my schedule as well. I’m trying to find something I will enjoy long-term. For more context, I had also considered ESL teaching (i didnt enjoy lesson planning or public speaking) and also copywriting (i didnt want to turn a hobby into an occupation) so I kept going back to this. My own therapist even told me to look into social work as an option, and I’ve been doing some research ever since. She knows I worry about being stuck in something once I choose to pursue it. I was initially confident about this decision to go back to school and I have the support to do so, but after some recent conversations, I fear burn-out and having a stressful/large caseload once I’m in it. I would love any insight into this, what should go into my decision making, what to be aware of, etc. Thank you! (Edit: I already have my Bachelors. This would be a career change. And when I say pursuing my MSW I specifically mean going the clinical route and receiving my LCSW.)

Hello! This is a follow up question, but for background I am enrolling in a Maters program that will allow me to graduate with credentials to be certified as an LCP with a focus in art therapy. I would love to one day open private practice as well to offer art therapy. I’m curious how you establish and maintain referrals from other doctors or contacts who will suggest your practice to clients. Specifically, how are these connections made? What does this partnership entail? Why would others be incentivized to recommend your practice? What are they getting out of it? Thank you in advance for any guidance! I really hope to understand this amazing career!
