Won't be rich; stressful.
Mental Health Clinician:
Without licensure you're basically forced to work for a non-profit agency, which doesn't pay well, & much lower than national average, & mental health associations guidelines recommend for a masters level salary. I had clients that made more than I do. Entire staff got a raise ONCE in my 5 yrs there! Work load expectations are unrealistic (to meet min # of clients/wk, need to book every hour/or every 45 mins due to frequent client no-shows. Reports, notes, & forms are increasingly expected be done DURING session; where's therapy?) Amount of forms is ridiculous & time consuming; be prepared to work more hours than you were hired (& unpaid) in order to complete it & return phone calls. A V.P. Said, "it's the nature of the business." It's near impossible to find a salaried job; just fee-for-service, so if they no-show, you don't get paid. Avg salary is therefore inaccurate due to this in my opinion. Fall below min clients seen/wk & lose benefits. Clientele are chronic & lack progress.
