I'm a therapist. You'll need at least a Masters Degree in counseling or social work to get started, then after about 2 years of working in the field you take various tests, I took the NCE (national counselors examination), and an ethics test. I'm not sure on the specifics about Maine. Check out this web-site; http://www.nbcc.org or http://www.counseling.org   Any under \ngrad degree in behavioral science or social work will due.

If you are still in high school, any counselor can tell you. If not, you'll need to find an adult school. I know there is one in Downtown Greenville called the Sullivan Center I think... not to be confused with Sullivan Learning that you see on TV

One of the best things you could do would be to contact your local Police Station.  They will be happy to provide you with any scholarships they can find.  I suggest calling to make an appointment with someone in the Department.  They may even have one of their own.\n\nAlso, contact a member of the State Department of Corrections.  With the hightened threats to our nation, I am sure they can help you get into a Criminal Justice course at whatever SMTC became in South Portland.  I studied there for a year and they have a really good program.  Just make sure you like that major first.  I personally hated it, but at least I now understand that police seem like jerks sometimes because that means they will go home alive.

Go to college and see the school counselor that can help you take all the right courses to get the credentials you need.

The Maine State Bar Association (MSBA) has no role in the admission of people to the practice of law and no role in the regulation or discipline of lawyers, according to their website.  \n\nInstead, you should contact the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar.  The Board regulates the conduct of lawyers by enforcing the Maine Bar Rules adopted by the Court. The purpose of the Bar Rules is provide appropriate standards for attorneys with respect to their practice of the profession of law, including, but not limited to their relationship with their clients, the general public, other members of the legal profession, the courts and other agencies of this State.  Under the Bar Rules, the Board appoints Bar Counsel who investigates alleged misconduct by lawyers and, when authorized to do so by a reviewing panel of the Grievance Commission, litigates grievance complaints at public disciplinary proceedings.

Normally, a Masters degree in Social Work.  To get into this type of program, usually you would need an undergraduate degree in social sciences (if not Social Work) and related volunteer or work experience.  See information about this type of program at the link below.

Not much at all. I have a Bachelor's degree in psychology, and it's pretty useless. I can't think of any jobs that require an associate degre in Psychology; you'd most likely get stuck in positions that only required a high school diploma/GED. Sad, but true. If you want a more profitable degree at the Associate level, I'd suggest nursing. Many RNs also do psych counseling. \n\nThe requirements for "licensed therapist" vary by state, but usually, you need a master's degree. A master's in psychology or social work, or even mental health counseling, would do the trick, depending on where you are.

Ask your counselor.  He/she will know the requirements of your school.  I would just be guessing.

Any way is better than the hard way: from life experience.  Take CME exams.  Go to the conferences.  Study at a college or university.  Get into a clinical practicum at a rehab clinic.
