We’re back and you’re back and we’re all here for episode three (but actually four) of Not Great, How Are You? – a podcast about therapy. You’re getting this episode first before the actual episode three (which will be released as a BONUS EPISODE) because of some *sound issues* we just couldn’t have foreseen. Anyway – today we are talking about BECOMING A THERAPIST. If you are thinking about getting into therapy from the professional side of things, this episode is for you. We cover things from what to look for in a graduate program to what to look for in internship and residency sites, to why it feels scary when you’re first starting out (and even when you’re a seasoned veteran), and we try to clarify some misconceptions along the way. We hope you enjoy, and, as always, like/follow/subscribe.&nbsp;</p><p>Also, please follow us on instagram at @notgreathowareyoupod</p><p><br></p><blockquote><strong>Very Important Book Recommendation: </strong>On Being a Therapist – Jeffrey A.

Thus, federal agencies, state licensing boards and national certification agencies are assured that programs accredited by CACREP provide a consistent, quality education in preparation for counselor credentialing.\" (Credit: <a href=\"www.cacrep.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.cacrep.org</a>) In the episode, Gloria said CACREP standardization means the program meets licensure requirements but that is somewhat misleading - always check with state licensing boards to determine license requirements.</li><li>LPC vs LPCC: Types of licenses vary, as do the training/education and scope of practice. We found a good article highlighting some basic differences between some common license types (LPC, LPCC, LMHC, LPMHC, LCPC, LMNOP...) <a href=\"https://www.psychotherapynotes.com/decoding-counselor-alphabet-soup-lpc-lpcc-lmhc/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.psychotherapynotes.com/decoding-counselor-alphabet-soup-lpc-lpcc-lmhc/</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Are you looking to get connected with a mental health provider?</strong> Check out <a href=\"PsychologyToday\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PsychologyToday</a> to find therapists in your area who specialize in what you're looking to address.
