thank you for sharing your experiences!it was similar to how I prepared for my Masters in General Psychology degree I just finished. I was confused for a second and thought you did a masters in psychology, but it looks like you did a masters in counseling (which is the next degree im going for)! I'd recommended distinguishing clearer between the two because as I found out/realized the hard way, a master's in psych really only gets you ready for a Phd/psyd. if you want licensure as a LPCC, LMHC, LMFT etc. you actually need to study *counseling* at an accreddited school. the course work for a masters in psychology can also wildly differ from counseling.
