Who else works in the mental health field?

Post Reply New Topic

I am an ADHD and ASD therapist. It's a beautiful job but very demanding. I see on average 7 to 8 clients a day, 50 minute sessions on an 8 hour work day. I'm exhausted when the day is done

Anyone else working in the field?

I got a degree in speech pathology—but I am not presently working as a therapist.

Congratulations on your success! I remember you from a few years ago.

I used to do work in that field. I didn't have any degrees or anything, but I got quite a lot of certifications on the job which had to be regularly renewed. It was a very demanding, but rewarding job.

I'm sorry I didn't see this thread earlier.

I don't work in the mental health field myself, but I would like to call your attention to an organization you might not be aware of: the Association of Neurodivergent Therapists, based in the U.K., founded in spring 2021. As far as I am aware, this is the world's first professional association of neurodivergent people in any profession.

Hopefully similar organizations will form in other countries, the sooner the better.
