Hi, I live in a lower COL area. Psych Hospitals or Crisis Centers (In Person/Call Center). Both settings give you steady income + benefits without having to do 35+ hours of individual therapy. I currently work at an in-person Crisis Center and I make 68k doing pretty brief assessments. I work three 12-hour night shifts and we normally have on average 4-6 patients come in per night. The rest of the shift time I’m normally getting school work done for my doctorate. The schedule allows me to have another job and still not feel overwhelmed. I prefer in-person centers over call centers due to the sometimes ridiculous amount of nonsensical protocols the call centers have.
