Seeking: Licensed professional counselors We are looking for experts who can help prospective students understand what a master's in counseling actually demands at the graduate level and why affordability is such a critical factor to consider. 1. What is the difference between a master's in counseling and a master's in social work or psychology? Does that distinction change your career options? 2. Is CACREP accreditation something every prospective counseling student should insist on, or are there exceptions? 3. What does the job market actually look like for master's level counselors right now? 4. For someone who is drawn to counseling but worried about the emotional weight of the work, what do experienced counselors wish they had known before committing to this degree and this career? 5. Any other advice for students on a budget interested in this field? Please feel free to skip questions you can't speak to authentically.
