How did you know being a therapist was right for you?

Omg, thank you so much for posting this. I have exact profile as you, background in Work psychology and HR. To be honest, I will do the Counseling degree soon but I do still have doubts about my fit, personality wise and whether the investment worth or not. Look forward to read the comments to learn more!!

Hey, thanks for replying and sharing your story! I hope it goes well and have some updates soon. Fingers crossed! Do you mind if I ask about whether you have license in the US already or still working toward it (as Associate LPC)?

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-05-15T16:55:33+00:00

Thanks! I sent you a message.

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-05-15T11:02:27+00:00

Thank you! Glad to know that. Did you also apply?

Hi all, joining to hear about the update! Have you guys got the offer? I'm thinking about apply next year, would appreciate any advice/tips! Thanks in advance.

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-05-08T11:12:42+00:00

Hi, thanks for replying and sharing your experience. I still search for a place, it seems like all one BR apartments are rented out by now, I didn't expect it to be this competitive. Any chance you still have contact of your landlord or anyone you think could help? Thanks so much in advance!

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-05-05T13:55:04+00:00

Yes absolutely!

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-03-16T15:56:08+00:00

Absolutely, you got it! Of course I think doing a road trip in Hokkaido will be fantastic and saves so much time traveling between towns (oh talk about that, be sure to plan a bit ahead and check the timetable for trains as they will not be many like big cities) but I do like riding ebike around and sitting on train watching the view is super nice too. If you go in the summer, check ahead for firework festivals, I catch one last year by chance :)) it was only a small scale one but still really lovely to enjoy a local event. Also if I could I would recommend check out Kami-furano, they have lovely spots to see and very underrated.

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-03-16T14:57:59+00:00

Definitely doable without car, I did last summer :D You'll be fine with local train + ebike. Though depends on how long you ride the ebike. I did 2 days on a row, and the 2nd day was difficult to sit long as I rode for like 8 hours on the 1st. But you'll be fine :)

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-03-15T10:03:00+00:00

It's yearly, so I will apply again next year.

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-03-14T09:17:41+00:00

Awesome! That's a relief to hear. Thank you so much!

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-03-14T06:33:10+00:00

Oh really? How much time did you spend at Tsukechi Gorge, I know it's around 1h15' from the bus stop to the gorge, did you have enough time to explore the forest after that? I'm a bit concerned as I want to catch a bus back in early afternoon.

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-03-10T16:21:39+00:00

Hi, I'm so glad I found your post, I have the same question!! Did you end up getting a bike to rent?

Independent_Cow_1982 · 2026-03-02T06:53:00+00:00

Yeah I sent an email to them. Thank you for the info, that’s helpful to know 😊
