   Damn that a lot of questions. I work in psyche, but I do not have the attention span for this, sorry.

   i counsel clients once a week and sometimes on the phone…
   typical day is seeing my clients, and making notes, answering calls from clients, meetings with my supervisor and in service meetings…i report to my supervisor and the doctor in charge of the clients…i get evaluations once a year and have had no problems with supervisors or clients.. my favorite part is that i am helping my clients to understand their issues and problems, and help them work the problems out…a very good feeling for sure. the worst thing i dislike is the many hours of work i have done and the client falls back or quits, and i know they are out there with more problems and refuse help…..i got into this field , i felt it was right for me, i am a good listener and have alot of common sense….skills and interest in this field are important and had to take many courses and years studying this field..got degree …experience was easy because you complete your study’s you have to complete over 2,000 hours as a intern and worked with clients, i enjoyed this and found it a great challenge for me…and would do it again and again. and would encourage anyone that is interested to go for it.. it is very fullfilling………one needs to feel that they are making a difference and i do.. i do not use networking for studying, went to college. i use network for research for the paperwork that i am assisgned……most people, including myself need a professional setting, job friendly offices, and support staff… and i and others enjoy the feeling that we are helping many people enjoy their lives, gain self respect and help clear issues and problems for them….as a intern and later as a therapist, i enjoy the close supervision and support that i needed and it helped me alot..working as a team, and alone, i felt i was doing what i needed to do for experience to become a good therapist….stress level can change from 3 to 8 , depending on the type of client that i am dealing with, how heavy their issues are and if they are trying or not trying to work on their issues…high level of stress can be because the client has a lot of anger and they need to vent and the therapist is the one that gets the anger,, once they clear their anger the stress level goes down for me….one that does this work needs to know it is not personal and be balanced emotionally, to let it go after the session, and move on ….i have to have a good memory of each clients last session, the clients gets upset if you do not remember where we left off [from the last session] i always found to refresh my memory for the client, i review their chart prior to taking them into my office. it works well for me and the client… my mental requirements are that i have had the training and knowledge of this career andphysical is really to be healthy and have endurance…one needs patience, kindness, good emotional balance, good listener, and lots of common sense. willing to listen can be hard at times, and the longer you do this work, the better it is for you to adjust…the employment climate in this job is great and job security. you can go to a county job, state job, or non profit and private….when you are a intern you will work at many agencies, usually county agencies, non profit agencies..you will usually be hired at county or nonprofit at first, which pays low, gives you experience on the job and then one usually moves to either private or state agencies. it depends on what you choose to do…i work for the county , internd there and liked working there so when they offered me the job i accepted….right now in my local area there are no openings, we are under contract for two years, so until june ‘08,they are no openings…entry level is $17.50 per hour with raise in 6 months, and then at the year end and every year after that… the highest is 31.00 per hour overtime very seldom….full medical, and holiday pay and 10 days vacation per year, 7 paid sick days… one should have a solid commitment and care about helping.. i suggest you interview some therapists, couselers in person, get a feel of what they are feeling, possible burn out problems…. good luck to you
