After deciding to become a therapist, the difficult choices are not over. Next the decisions need to be made about what degree to get. Typically, there are three main degree options: M.A., Psy.D., and Ph.D. There also comes the question of what to get a degree in: Clinical Psychology? Counseling Psychology? Marriage and Family Therapy? Another important question is which school to attend and what accreditations it is important for the school to have.

     None of these are easy questions to answer. Often, students are put in the position to make these decisions with very limited resources and little exposure to the differing opinions that exist among professionals. When making these decisions, it is particularly important to get more than one perspective on the answers to these questions.

     The purpose of this page is to provide differing perspectives on these important issues from professionals who are familiar with the field. If you are a professional interested in contributing a perspective, please see our submission page.
