If you want a rewarding mental health career that works for you--where you both make a living and help improve others' lives--you must take a leadership role in your own career development. The Successful Therapist gives you the tools and strategies you need to plan and grow a successful career. Going beyond just dollar profits, this guide will help you define success in terms of what you value most in the field, then give you the entrepreneurial skills to best position yourself so you can realize those values and achieve your goals.

* Careers in other fields

This savvy career guide--written by someone who's built her own successful career in and around mental health--is packed with helpful self-assessments, questionnaires, and real-life case studies.
