I cannot afford to move across town, much less out of state. Unfortunately, my answer is no.

Ah, that's too bad. I don't imagine psych being a field that would pay for moving expenses?

Depends on the credentials. If I were able to be licensed, then perhaps. Unfortunately, my university pulled a fast one on me, and I cannot under any circumstances be licensed in the state of PA. I missed something in my education that had to be done during my program. Short of starting a whole new program, I am SOL. Such means that unless I go to a state that is more willing to consider my licensure, I cannot run a practice of my own, nor can I bill insurance under my own practice of any sort.
I had hoped that having a Master's Degree earned with distinction would allow me to be more attractive to businesses or practices. Unfortunately I do not seem attractive enough.

Do you know if any of the neighboring states are more permissive? And can a license from 1 state be used in other states? That might enable you to hop over to get your license and then practice in PA.

The licensing is state-specific, though if I could move somewhere to get licensed, I'd likely stay there. Typically getting a license takes at least two years of continual practice.
If I could afford to move, I would in a heartbeat.

Kind of a catch-22 if you can't practice w/o a license but then they require a license to practice. Like all those entry-level programming jobs that expect 2 years of work experience...

Precisely, and in the state I live in, I would have had to intern while in college to even qualify for licensure. When I approached the college (via phone call as they are an online University), the argument was made that as a TSS, I'd been in the field supervised for 18 months. Moving to who knows where and working for free for a minimum of six months was not an option. Was my work history good enough? They said yes.
They were wrong.

I encountered something similar, though far less, in that nobody took my work experience at college, part time as a student or full-time between semesters & 1 year after i graduated, seriously. Annoying to be treated like entry-level when I had plenty of experience under my belt.

I can imagine. To have literal years of your life ignored despite being excellent and having the experience is ludicrous.

I'm concerned for you, snowman. Deeply. I'ma just gunna leave this here.
The Mayo Clinic Sleep is as important to your health as a healthy diet and regular physical activity. Whatever your reason for sleep loss, insomnia can affect you both mentally and physically. People with insomnia report a lower quality of life compared with people who are sleeping well. Complications of insomnia may include: *Lower performance on the job or at school *Slowed reaction time while driving and a higher risk of accidents *Mental health disorders, such as depression, an anxiety disorder or substance abuse *Increased risk and severity of long-term diseases or conditions, such as high blood pressure and heart disease

*Lower performance on the job or at school Doing okay thus far
*Slowed reaction time while driving and a higher risk of accidents Have noticed this some days
*Mental health disorders, such as depression, an anxiety disorder or substance abuse Already depressed, so nothing new
*Increased risk and severity of long-term diseases or conditions, such as high blood pressure and heart disease Family history of both, so eh.
sweatdrop I don't score pretty well on that list, do I?

*hugs tightly* It wasn't meant as a pass/fail sort of thing, my friend. As a psychologist and your friend for many years now- I worry about your health. Both physical and mental.
You need some sleep. Not an hour, like a good 8 hours, often.
