In this episode of the Student Counselor Podcast, I speak with Sophie Kent, a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (RMHCI) in the state of Florida. We discuss Sophie's journey navigating educational requirements, licensure processes, and balancing multiple jobs while in school. The conversation provides insights into the financial aspects of being a registered intern, differences in pay structures, and the importance of choosing the right practice and specialty. Sophie also shares valuable advice on the importance of self-care, maintaining a work-life balance, and pursuing meaningful activities outside of work.
