@corie_edwards: There is a difference between entering a profession because you’re passionate about helping people and being expected to sacrifice your own financial stability to do so. Becoming a therapist requires years of education, thousands of dollars in tuition, unpaid clinical hours, licensing exams, supervision, and continuing education. Yet somehow, wanting to be fairly compensated for that time, education, and expertise is treated like it takes away from our ability to genuinely care about our clients. Two things can be true at once: we can be passionate about making mental health care accessible AND believe that mental health professionals deserve to make a comfortable living. Caring about people and caring about your financial future are not mutually exclusive. 👏 #TherapistTok #MentalHealthProfessionals #TherapistInTraining #GradSchool #HelpingProfessions
