I have a friend who left a university-based clinical psychology Ph.D. program about 5-6 years ago with just an M.S. in clinical psych, and she's wondering what her job options are. She had a baby during her program and left to stay home, and now her kids are older and she's interested in re-entering the job force. Would she have an option to become a therapist (she has 2 years of supervised, CBT-based clinical work from her Master's under her belt), or would her options just be non-clinical like research and consulting? My understanding is that one has to have a certain number of supervised hours in order to work as a therapist after a Master's degree. Is it difficult to find someone to do that with? After that, which licensing exam would she take? Or would have to be go back to school and get an MFT or something like that if she wanted to see clients? Thanks so much!
