I am having hard time figuring out what happens after graduation and during the 2,000 hours of supervised work. The academic adviser I saw at MHC program suggested that the best thing to do is work for an "agency" and get all your hours in right away. I calculated 2,000 hours to be 50 weeks, so only a year long. Is this correct?
What sorts of jobs are out there to do this work?
Also I once saw a therapist who was working in her own private practice, but officially under the supervision of another established therapist, and was paying him $250 an hour for this supervision. Does anyone know what this was all about?
And one final question, does anyone know if PhD/PsyD students also have to put in a certain number of hours (how many?) under supervision before they apply for the license?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
