Sure hope you check your OWN thread now and again!
Truly excellent work with Pam, Cal. You do seem to have the calling.
There MUST be some clinical MA programs being offered through distance edcuation or even on-line. If not, I'll bet there WILL be in the near future (That's what CJ's upcoming MA degree is in: e-learning).
I'm not sure about the laws in Ill. but things are pretty stringent in Ontario. To practise as a "Psychologist" one needs a PhD.
Many offer counselling (private and publicly funded) with a Masters in Psychology or Social Work (MSW).
But in reality, pretty much anyone can "Hang out a shingle" and offer counselling. You just can't pretend you have credentials that you do not. Plus it's harder to get clients as you cannot be accredited without the full degrees.
I think it would be AWESOME if you could find SOME program that encourages part-time distant study, and would let you clock in your practicum here on the BB!!!
