Hi Courtney! Thanks so much for making this video! The information was very helpful. As you’ve posted this video 3 years ago are you still answering comments here? I am considering IPEC for Life Coaching beginning July and would be so great to ask someone who has gone through it. I am also still discerning between the Life Coach and Therapy route. Are you open to discussing?

Thank you. I just began my MBA program after graduating ten years ago. I have forgotten all aspects of being a student (I completed bombed my first week of assignments and quizzes). This was very helpful. God bless.

Thanks for sharing! I too did psych undergrad and was considering the Clinical Psych MA/PhD route but I know that I love the one on one with people more than the research. The more I research, I see MSW may be the way to go.

I am QMHA certifed and would like to get a Life Coach cert. A Masters is not the route I want to take.

can you please make a video on what you did straight out of high school I’m very sure this is what I want to do

I start my msw in may! So excited❤

Can i pursue bachlor in psychology and masters in social work ?? Then work in a school with children

Is PhD obligatory for social work job??

I'm looking into a MSW also. What are career choices besides therapist?

I feel the same regarding wanting to incorporate spirituality into helping others and providing mental health services! I'm torn between life coaching, getting a MSW or an MA in counseling...its helpful to know you've felt able to do both with an msw 😊

Thank you. You helped me make my decision to pursue SW. I have thought and pondered and looked at ways to help others in the mental emotional spiritual physical realm not as a nurse but as a therapist coach cheerleader mentor. And also how to invoke change on the political law level. I want to help change endangered populations and oppressed populations. I want to fill people's toolboxes with hope and encouragement and help them to see that anything is possible and that it's ok to talk about mental health.

Big thanks. After hearing this, my preference is clear :)

This is so helpful. Thank you.

Hi! In the video you mentioned that there may be a way where you can study clinical psychology for free. I wanted to ask how / where that might be? I'm an aspiring psychology student / future therapist and am having a hard time finding options within my budget! I live in califronia but also happy to go abroad if there are cheaper options there

This is super helpful. The format of this video is what’s needed for visual learners. I have two classes this term for my graduate degree and was feeling overwhelmed, but it can be done and this is a great way to manage!

thank you for this video! i have a real planner and calendar, but i have trouble writing, i am going to try google calendar, i use google docs, so i hope google calendar will work.

With IPEC, did they ask you for more money if you wanted to purchase there materials to use in your business?

Thanks so much! As a person aspiring to have a more counselling-oriented approach to being a helper, these should help a lot! If you had to pick just two though, which would you recommend?

I remember watching this video a while back when I was trying to find books about psychology, and ended up reading The Gift of Therapy. Since then I've read like 5 of Yalom's books haha. Thank you

this is so helpful! i loveee this advice :)

Hello Courtney! thank you so much for this informative video.

I so needed this tonight! Child adolescent psych NP here and its been off the chain lately! 😃 oooo absorb that chaos! The anger from a parent really affected me this week- Totally came out of the blue! Was not ready for it! Total countertransference! Um Burnt here! Thank you!

Wow , thank you the same too you

I'm a therapist but I feel like a life coach lol

Very useful; thank you!

Thank you this was so helpful and I appreciate your calm way of explaining things from your experience!

I am currently working on my Master of Social Work but would also like to become certified in life coaching. What life coaching program would you recommend for me, that is affordable? (Since I am already paying a lot for my MSW). I have two previous degrees(undergraduate degree in Psychology and a graduate degree in Family Studies).

Great video, Courtney. I wish you continued success with your therapy work and your life coaching practice.

As a veteran, who's in the clinical social work masters program, my favorite motivational quote is "better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war" this realy sums up veterans in the social work field

Can you tell me the difference between a masters in social work vs masters in therapy?

Very helpful & informative. Thanks for making this video.

HEY, THANKS A TON FOR THE VICEO. Do you have any video about the license part of this profession. I am from GA and I understand it differs from state to state, but it would be great to hear what you already know about being a licensed Social Worker

Two years later update?

Well balanced perspective. Grateful for your video, affirming my path and guiding towards business knowledge 😌

Great video. I'm kinda at this crossroads currently as I just recently became a Professional Counsellor, but as I've been brainstorming the direction I want to go with my marketing and services, it seems that I want to be more of a Life Coach. Have you ever heard of someone being both??

When you say supervisor who is the supervisor of a therapist?

In real life terms... What is the difference between the MSW and a MSocSc?

How to become certified life coach?I am counseling psychologist.

In France, supervision is common practice among certified coaches. Great video !

Thank you very much for the tips.

Hi Courtney! I really enjoyed this video and was curious if we could talk sometime. I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in criminal justice and found that there are limited opportunities. I've always been drawn to social work and but never pursued it, now that i'm feeling a little loss and discouraged from my job searching, I think I want to pursue a master's in social work. I had a few questions about schools, the curriculum, and general questions about a MSW.
