Greetings, everyone, this is my first post as I have referenced this board occasionally rather than posting. Anyway, I am about to complete my bachelor's in Psychology from an accredited school and intend to enroll in a master's program for mental health counseling to be an LPC. The thing that gave me trepidation was the cost of CACREP programs until I came across a non-CACREP program at Kairos University. They have a masters in Counseling which said I would be eligible to be an LPC in my state of Texas.
Do any of you know someone who has gone to Kairos and become an LPC after graduating from there? How did they describe the program pace, classes, workload, professors, etc? How long did it take? What additional steps were needed to be taken after graduation knowing it wasn't CACREP accredited? Did jobs readily hire the person for counseling jobs after graduation despite no accreditation? Do you know of other Non-CACREP schools that are just as affordable as Kairos University?
If this has been answered before, my apologies.
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give.
