Yes it's a well paid branching profession. It's costly to learn though.

It's almost like med school, you have to be at a high level of education to work because of vulnerable people and such. It's health so it's very involved. At least I can say as much as a current psychology/counselling student

@Ryannnnnn As for high-paying, the range for the salary range for the US is $65-130K. Depending on where you live, that's either a lot or not nearly what others make. To lend perspective, it's only slightly above the national teacher's salary.
