Hi all I am a 27 yr old married mom of two who just realized I wanted to go back to school.
My final goal would be my own private practice in michigan as a psychologist.
Anyone have any good ideas for non-practical colleges (I mean online/distance education) for my bachelors and MSW/PhD?
I am starting from the ground up here meaning I still need to get my bachelors under my belt. What schools would you suggest that allow for off campus learning for my bachelors? should I just do general studies or look for one that is primarily psych?
I know I need to go to a phd program that is apa accredited but do I really if I want to be licensed for my own private practice? Please give me your thoughts on this too. Michigan doesnt require a phd from an apa course i dont believe.
Also what should I go for as a graduate degree....Master in Social work? PhD in clinical psych? What?
Any help would be so appreciated as I am making my first steps and want them all to be right so I end up correctly licensed and able to practice alone if I so choose.
SO GLAD I FOUND THIS BOARD!
