Hello wonderboy123,

It really depends what kind of setting you're working in (agency, hospital, private practice, NGOs, government, etc.). Fortunately, NY/NJ pays more than some other regions. And considering that you graduated from an Ivy League school and that you are bilingual, you will find a position much faster.

Also, are you a LAC, LPC, LRC?

Thank you for your reply. I'm planning on pursuing my LPC and working in. Hospital or government agency.

Speaking as someone working in NJ, you can expect to be making at least $21+/hour easily. If you're working for a governmental agency, I can imagine it being more.
