I counsel kids at our county health department and teach part time at the local junior colleg (forensic Psychology). You will want to get an LCPC, or your states license. Varies on states, not the LCSW, that for social workers.

I cant believe that you don't already know what you can do with a Master in Mental Health, your professors should have already educated in your job selections.... BUT there are a lot of jobs that u can get with a MASTERS, just depends on what type of people that you want to work with. I have a friend that is choosing "Sports Counseling"..... check the papers, the on line job searches.....etc. GL and congrats to you!!!

i might want to somewhat advise psychological health counseling... the reason that I say this is because this is going to nevertheless help you paintings with children and households. regrettably, the pay in the faculty gadget is poor, granted that you do not paintings at a private college. There are extra oppurtunities that are found in case you've been to guage psychological health counseling. you would possibly want to paintings at: colleges, prisons, wards, clinics, hospitals, and so on. Plus the pay might want to be larger in case you wanting to paintings nights it is also an determination in case you paintings on the before pronounced centers. I truly sense that you've extra of an chance to amplify your self extra in case you pursue something that has one of those diverse a possibility ideas.

You can't do anything much without a license. See if a masters in psychology qualifies you to sit for a licensing exam in your state (at state website). Otherwise, better to pick Clinical Social Work (LCSW).

I strongly suggest you get a teaching certificate to go along with this. You may not want to teach, but with the teaching certificate, you can get OTHER jobs in school districts, such as school psychologist. Which is one of the BEST jobs to hold in a school district. But like I say, you gotta have a teaching certificate to be a school psychologist. So get one.
