A realistic roadmap for becoming a licensed therapist, including the real timeline most guides underplay.
Becoming a licensed therapist is a genuinely multi-year commitment — graduate school, supervised hours, and licensing exams — and a lot of people underestimate that timeline going in. This guide is the flagship, honest starting point.
Inside: the general path from bachelor's degree through licensure, choosing between different therapy license types (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, and others) and what each involves, a realistic multi-year timeline, and an honest self-assessment for the emotional demands of the work. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats.
