What is it like working as a Clinical Therapist?
May 2016
Clinical Massage Therapist.
Clinical Therapist:
Pros: I feel relief that my clients live longer because when I massage them their bodies look a live and less gray. When I see a mom still be able to see her mom in 2 weeks that is the best feeling ever! Or she gets to see her again on Mothers Day. It's a whole new way of feeling.
Cons: I get people who are rude during and show up 30 mins late and expect a full body massage in 30 mins.

My Experience.
Clinical Therapist:
Pros: The level of responsibility I have to care for my clients and help them work through their issues. Also, the level of independence I have with my job is something I enjoy greatly.
Cons: With the amount of responsibility comes the level of liability. Dealing with mental health there are always risks with mentally unstable clients, and often I am looked to for the answers, which can be very stressful.

Difficult to Pay the Bills.
Clinical Therapist:
This career is very rewarding, challenging, and fulfilling. However, as a single mom, going into debt to get my MA in Counseling (60 credit degree with 1 year, 20 hour a week internship) while working full time, to only make 2k more was difficult. I pay $500 a month for health insurance for my son and I, and the coverage is poor. I love my job, but the pay and benefits are terrible. If you go into Counseling, get your LAC right away, so you can be a LPC in 2 years. Slightly more money can be made in a well run private practice or working in management. This career is about purpose... Be prepared to not make much money.
