After completing a degree program and an internship, a psychotherapist must obtain a license in psychotherapy or one of the therapeutic fields, like marriage and family therapy, licensed professional counseling, or clinical social work..Good verbal and listening skills are required, as the bulk of psychotherapy is a dialog between therapist and client. A psychotherapist must be skeptical as well as insightful, to see through the layers of clients' defenses and set therapeutic goals.
Reflection: This is a career that interests me the most. I've always been the one giving advice with my friends and helping them out threw their problems because I have experienced more then they have. Studying psychology is one of my major not only because you get to help out other people but because you also can get benefits out of it. With your family or friends. You would have the knowledge to deal with problems throughout your day. Helping people physically and mentally is one of my goals and this career is one of my 100 goals.
