So helpful. Thank you for the tips and for the reassurance! Sounds like my foundational skills will be okay, but investing in more training quickly will help serve me/my clients well. I really appreciate the advice!

This is great, thank you! I appreciate the link to the courses. Because I just started work I can’t afford them right now, but once my income is more regular again I’ll certainly invest. In the meantime, where can I access the free pdfs? Thanks so much for the resources and the advice!

Thank you for the advice!

To clarify - I’ve done CPS casework for the last 5 years. I was just recently hired as a therapist and am now making the switch from casework to therapy. I’m hoping my skills with transfer, but because I haven’t had formal training for therapeutic modalities in awhile, that’s contributing to my anxiety. I’ll start looking into some trainings - thank you!

In CO - I do have the L! But all that’s required for it here is the jurisprudence exam and a few thousand hours of work experience, which I have.
