Jane writes to Allison: As a Psy.D. I can tell you that you have a long road ahead of you, especially at this point of your life. But the right school can make all of the difference. Morgan writes to Allison: Ignore the negative, naysayers...my brother has a thriving practice now, in counseling; after getting a Masters degree in psychology. If you truly want it, go for it. Look into  a Master's in clinical social work/counseling This is the easiest and quickest way to become a therapist. Two years of school with the summers spent doing practicums. People with masters in these areas usually deal with marriage counseling, mild depression, mild anxiety, helping people with life changes. Basically, people who need some help but aren't suicidal or too crazy. my brother did not have the patience or desire to stick it out for a Ph.D., so he got the masters degree.....he does a lot of counseling to kids and teens. You can get on the approved for insurance lists, and make a good living. he even does jogging/running clinic for kids and teens with ADHD, and is getting good results. as a former runner, himself, that one was right up his alley. 1. Do you think either or both are helping to ease Allison's concerns?
