Hi there,
I am considering a career change from Doctor Of Pharmacy ( left the field and have zero desire of going back) to a therapist/counselor, and trying to figure out what's the best degree to apply for.
I LOVE working on my own time (and can't dedicate any more than 3-6 hours/week to coursework as I have small children), so I am looking for an online degree. I am in no rush to be completing a degree, I am ok going at a slow pace for the next 6-10 years.
My goal would be to have a small private therapist practice, hopefully online. In addition to getting therapist degree online I'd like to get certification in SE (Somatic Experiencing) and IFS (Internal family Systems), which will take time and money, too.
I am also really interesting in possibly writing an evidence-based research book, LONG time from now, when kids are grown and gone.
Given my interests, which route would you recommend me go?
