Best answer:

Answer by michele
4 years of college (undergrad) – major in psychology

2 years for your master’s degree

2-3 additional years of doctoral coursework (either Ph.D. or Psy.D.)

dissertation (how long this takes depends on you – Ph.D.’s complete dissertations, while some Psy.D.s do not)

1 year full time APA approved internship

pass the EPPP (how long this takes also depends on you, some pass the first time, others do not – it’s like the “bar” for attorneys)

1-3 years POST DOCTORAL supervised experience – the number of years required varies by state

Question by Noa Bach: Can someone become a counselor with a high school diploma?
I don’t want to be in school a long time, I have over 60 college credits, and I believe that helping people is my calling. Counseling seems nice but I can’t go for a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Any way I can like train to be a counselor. Or any careers similar but not too much time in school

There are really no need for credentials unless someone sues you or the state investigates you. Until then live your dream.

Question by Matt: How to make friends?
I’m looking for genuine strategies for finding GOOD friends.

I’m 26, and totally inept at making friends. To most people I seem pretty normal – at work people assume I have friends outside of work, and at home my family thinks I have friends at work or elsewhere. Basically, I have neither. I’ve never had a girlfriend. I just don’t try or care. I’m not deformed or especially dorky. People say, “be yourself”. Well…the genuine me is boring and disinterested in most everything. People say get a hobby or join a club. I’d rather scrub the toilet. People say “try counseling”. Done it – medication too… none helped. Despite my general disinterest in people, I still feel like there’s a void in my life.
