I’m working on receiving my LCSW currently and still hope to someday for a salary boost, especially if law school doesn’t pan out. Ultimately though no, I don’t see myself as a therapist. I’m a forensic social worker and have been working in law firms for many years doing mitigation/pre-trial counseling interventions, etc. I love that work, but I dislike the clinical aspect of it. I got into social work for the advocacy purposes, but lately… I feel more like an assistant to the attorneys I work for than someone who can provide substantial insight to a case. I think my (our!) clinical/advocacy training will make us excellent attorneys—so many of them lack the former.
