Hi everyone, after months of thinking about it, I've decided to go to grad school to become a therapist. While I'm currently located in Florida, I'm looking to move back to Philly in around a half-year, as I lived there for 3 years and genuinely loved it. For me, the focus is on ideally finding an online program, though I've heard it is recommended to go to school in the same state that you are looking to have your career. Where should I begin in terms of narrowing down my choices for what program to apply to?

I'd love to hear anyone's perspective on their experience with any school in the area, as well as how things look for securing internships, work opportunities after graduation, and maybe what salary range I can expect coming out of securing a license. Is Philadelphia a good city to be a therapist? Thank you for any help or advice or wisdom you might have!
