Great explanation!

Check out clinical social work too.

Wow your field is such a scam. Everyone going into the field is dumb enough to PAY to work for FREE for 3 years for thousands of hours 😂😂😂😂 any field that operates that way is full of gullible idiots. Same with the medical industry. That’s why blue collar pays so much more, because even to choose blue collar work you have to be smarter than the average person 😂 this why Elon musk doesn’t require any degree to work for him lol, he doesn’t want gullible “rule” followers. He wants people with a brain.

Great video you just have to continue to stand up for males.

Awesome I’m almost done with my bachelor in psychology I’m in Texas 🎉🎉

Omg same thing happening to me using purple book smh. I started forgetting sections smh

Passed mine yesterday on 1sr try. 145/160. However. I was sure I had failed. I dont like how they compile these tests. It was like they were purposely trying to trip us up. That test wasnt nothing nice!!

They actually have a digital form of the review on Spotify!

Is it hard? I have thought of being a counselor or therapist. I been thru many issues myself and want to give back and help support others one day.

This is an awesome video explaining the mental health field.

Im at Texas tech in the counseling program now .

Looks like I will be going back to school.

I currently have my LMSW and I realize that getting the CMPC certification will help me be able to provide mental health services to the athletes in my community but I know that I need mentorship. Do you provide mentorship?

Thank you for sharing these great tips!

Wow sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through before actually become a councilor.

Do you still work with sports populations with an LPCC? I've considered sports psychology but if you can still work with that population with an LPCC along with others it sounds interesting

I’m in Texas too! Houston TX!

Couldn't agree more! We need more men in the field, especially men of color! In my cohort of 14, only 3 were males. Two of them were black which was awesome but I don't recall any of the other cohorts having better representation than mine, which is saying a lot! My program only required the CPCE to graduate. The NCE is required to apply for an LMHC license. An LPC license occurs after 3k supervised hours under a state board approved supervisor and passing the NCMHCE, and they count the hours you did in internship and practicum!

Any updates on your craft ?

Well in todays world, ppl are really paying attention to the behavior of males so to choose them as a counselor at this point is kind of iffy. Blacks are lacking in this field in general.

Thanks for sharing. A school counselor for a decade. Going back for mental health therapist! Keep representing.

Currently about to graduate with my bachelor degree in Psychology and minoring in Education. I want to pursue Student Counseling or Christian Counseling. Idk what job I should get while work or plan on getting an LPC… any options?

Your video and suggestion of the Pocket Prep app were so helpful! I also found the Purple Book to be overwhelming.

Can you talk about your Practicum and internship hours? For example I work full time in a different industry so I will need to input pto several days to miss work for Practicum ….. curious was Practicum only about 10 hours a week and only morning hours?

Excellent video helped me out a lot !!!!

Cool! For newer, check out Foluke Taylor, Reesma Menakem, Moya Bailey, the book Ubuntu and Jennier Mullan

I have a question. When did you start getting pay?? After taking the NCE and finding a job? Or after 3,000 hours?

Recently the released an audiobook for the purple book on Audible, it really helps.

Hi. What field of counseling/career choice did you go into once you passed the test?

Congratulations!! Best of luck in the field.

Glad to hear this. I’m Going into the field.

In my third semester of my Clinical mental health counseling program🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 never looked backed !! Road to success 🎉🎉 thank you for your videos

The Greeks have definitely come a long way Tech! Keep it up!

Thanks for this conversation, very informative to see why you decided to be a counselor. I’m an exercise physiologist and wellness coach. I’ve been contemplating going back to school to become a mental health counselor in Florida. Right now I teach online breath work, somatic experiencing and wellness but many of my clients need mental health counseling too. Right now I just refer out but I’d love to help more. Going back to school is a bit daunting lol 😆 but it’s always good to hear someone’s personal story, inspiration for being a counselor and perspective, appreciate it! -Coach E

Thanks for this...

How can an Indian student get CMPC Certification

For the Behavior App did you miss a lot of questions at first? I got a lot in the purple book but the app was so difficult for me and I stay at a 60%. Not sure if that was other’s experience as well?
