I'm almost half way through my 3yr part time mental health counseling program! I begin clinical work starting in March/April. I've owned a doula business for 8+ years though and hope to morph into private therapy practice hopefully early on, but I am not opposed to working for someone else at first either, especially part time!

@cafewithmonica 6 месяцев назад

Yes! I loved doing my practice at first part time while working a 8-5 i learned so much. And wow a doula thats going to give you such a great expertise if you choose maybe to work with new moms or expecting moms as niche.

Finally an AMFT/APCC in CA and feel like what I'm doing is what I'm meant to do, it's my passion. If you're considering being a therapist, get into a good quality master's program. The extra year of schooling and training really helps you to feel more prepared and confident when working with clients!

OMG! Rehab counseling - we have something in common. I am in my program right now finishing up my last year for Rehab Counseling. You are definitely goals!!

@cafewithmonica 6 месяцев назад

Yay!!!!!! I hardly know people who are in the rehab program its such an underrated program. All the best of luck to you!

@sparklestarlet 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your journey! I am currently halfway through my program in clinical mental health counseling, and I hope to go into private practice one day. Have you ever thought about making an online course to teach therapists business skills? I think that would be so helpful, and a great way to explore your passion for teaching those skills!

Currently I just don’t think that’s my journey but I have met some incredible ladies that do just that I highly recommend to follow instagram.com/sitwithkelly?igsh=NTZ2MG0xa3kxeWxl or instagram.com/holdingspacefortherapists?igsh=dDdodDZuZnl1MDRk

Love these videos thank you for the time you invest in making these. Could you make a video of how much you earn as a private practice business?

@cafewithmonica 6 месяцев назад

Hi! I loved your video, and your channel over all!! Thank you for all the helpful tips

@cafewithmonica 6 месяцев назад

We had people who worked full time but it was a place where they could also count as a practicum so I’m not quite sure. I was doing two part-time jobs during grad school so I can meet the requirements 😬

@Nicolembradbury 5 месяцев назад

This video was super helpful! Do you have any tips on how to vet different masters programs? And also, is the internship/supervised clinical training requirement unpaid? Would love to start the journey, but also want to be financially mindful/prepared!

@cafewithmonica 5 месяцев назад

My friend Deyanira has a dedicated channel to helping therapist in training or those thinking about the field. Here's a playlist she has of videos ru-vid.com/group/PLgv5woY5Vsr04HCqpBwjNk7LYDRR9Ubdu&si=CyXOF3ExEbUHUdKr. I hope that is helpful.

I enjoyed this video❤ Though i live and study in Ukraine (Eastern Europe) and we have different requirements.

@cafewithmonica 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the support

@zamandamartinez918 6 месяцев назад

I feel stuck still as a recent fully licensed therapist. I want to keep doing private practice but the ups and downs are so hard for me. I always play with the idea of getting a full time job, but I don't want to give up.

@cafewithmonica 6 месяцев назад

You have to do what’s best for your situation 👍🏻 pp does have it’s ups and downs and it’s totally okay to diversify your income in other ways

@zamandamartinez918 6 месяцев назад

I agree! thank you so much for your support! @@cafewithmonica

Hi Monica, how can I become a self taught Counselor? Thanks,

@cafewithmonica 6 месяцев назад

Unfortunately that’s not something someone can do.

@PNWmorganite 6 месяцев назад

I graduated with my clinical MSW in 2023 from Winona State (loved their program!) - starting at a private group practice next week - open to any advice you have for new therapists ☺️🤍

@cafewithmonica 6 месяцев назад

Congrats! My best advice is to limit your exposure when it comes to what other therapist are doing. Follow maybe 1-3 people but the rest make it not therapists this will keep you focused and will reduce comparison.
