Clinical psychologist requires a PhD. Counselors (e.g. “marriage & family counseling”) requires a master’s degree.

If you are in private practice, you do not get a salary. You earn your billings paid, less office rent and other business expenses (including licenses and annual continuing education costs, office furnishings & supplies, etc). Billing is typically $ 150/hour. Insurance for covered psychological counseling pays a PhD with ten or more years experience just $ 65/hour for a max of 20 hours, and takes at least 90 days to pay you.
