    Hi,
    I am currently considering getting a graduate psychology degree (e.g. M.A. or M.S. in Psychology) to practice counseling (legally, with a license). However, I feel that I have a special case, and would like some feedback on this.

    Please consider the following facts:

    1. I already have a masters degree (MBA);
    2. I am currently enrolled at NCU in a PhD program in Business Administration;
    3. I am currently working in Psychiatry as an RN (and therefore have lots of experience in the field);
    4. I have been an "unlicensed" therapist (under the guise of hypnotherapist and minister) and have lots of experience in counceling / therapy;
    5. I would like to avoid endless hours of internship (I believe it is 2,000 hours or more here in California) unless I could use my work hours in inpatient psychiatry as such;
    6. I would be willing to (temporarily) move to another state that has easier licensure requirements and has a reciprocal agreement with California;
    7. I would like a degree / license with the least amount of hassle / academic work / practicum hours / expenses possible.

    Thanks in advance for your help, feedback and support.


    :)

    Masters degree

    Check out Liberty U. I think they have a short Masters besides one for licensure.

    Also, many of the other DL schools have some form of Masters degree in counseling. Saybrook Institute might accomodate you.

    I believe also Antioch U.

    HOpe this helps a little.
