I, 31(F), am thinking of going back to school to get my Master's in Mental Health Counseling in hopes of one day becoming an independent practitioner with a license. My state requires 4500 hours of supervised hours to attain a license. I am afraid that accumulating those hours is going to be a very difficult task. I have read in places that people even end up paying to get supervised hours, how true is that? What is the biggest roadblock apart from finance to actually becoming an LPC? Is it worth going back to school?
