bicrim said: LCSWs in private practice make more than that, especially if they are not in network with insurance. I’m considering post grad training as an analyst because they make 250 per hour around here. Even if I didn’t, I could charge 125 an hour easy.
bicrim! You are a great resource I should have already thought of. Sometimes I think I should take a year off to think about all of this. I may apply for Bereavement Coordinator positions after my Bachelors is done (that is actually a $55k a year job you only need a BA in psych for), if there is anything local available then and we can make it work with the kids. Or, work with Jake and Elise, volunteer with hospice, and think/research a lot...
The only behavioral analyst I know personally is more of a relative-of-a-friend, and she’s completely burned out on the position from what I understand. Hmmm...
There are LCSWs and MHCs in the greater Miami area making $70-80k, according to various sites that report salary data, but it seems like they’re definitely the minority. I don’t know if that’s based on low demand or skill levels, but is seems like the VAST majority are in the $53-63k range?
