The Therapist's Guide To Six-Figure Careers is here. Your therapy license can open more doors than you think.

The Therapist’s Guide to Six-Figure Careers: High-Paying Career Paths Beyond Traditional Therapy is a practical career guide for therapists, counselors, social workers, behavioral health professionals, and other helping professionals who are ready to explore what is possible beyond the traditional therapy room.

Clinical professionals develop highly valuable skills—assessment, interviewing, documentation, crisis management, behavior change, training, investigation, communication, program development, leadership, and decision-making. The challenge is that many professionals have never been shown how those skills translate into higher-paying roles across healthcare, corporate America, insurance, technology, government, higher education, consulting, and other industries.

This book changes that.

Inside, you'll discover 40 alternative career paths, including opportunities in clinical leadership, healthcare administration, employee relations, investigations, risk management, instructional design, medical writing, health policy, customer success, executive coaching, program management, UX research, change management, and more.

Each career profile breaks down what you need to know, including typical salary ranges, what the job actually involves, education and qualification expectations, where to find opportunities, transferable strengths, skills that can make you more competitive, and a practical “How to Get the Job” roadmap.

More importantly, this book helps you stop looking at your experience only through the lens of therapy. The skills you use every day may have significant value in industries and positions you have never considered.

Whether you're experiencing burnout, looking for greater income potential, interested in leadership, ready to leave direct clinical work, or simply curious about what else you can do with your background, this guide will help you see your career differently.

You don't necessarily need another degree. You may need a bigger view of what your existing expertise can do.

Your expertise. More options. Bigger impact.

Georgia Commission on Family Violence Conference 2026

Catch up with us at the Georgia Commission on Family Violence Conference this week. We are ready to roll. We have curriculum, training, clothing and more.

Let’s talk about something nobody told you in grad school.

You got the license. LCSW, LPC, LMFT, whatever it says on the wall. And somewhere along the way somebody convinced you that the only way to use it was to sit in a room and carry a caseload.

That’s a lie.

There are clinicians out there making $100K, $150K, $200K a year who haven’t run a therapy group in years. They’re just working lanes most people never hear about.

Here’s a few:

💼 Employee Relations Investigator — $95–155K. Corporations pay serious money for somebody who knows how to interview people and read a room.

🔍 Utilization Review Clinician — $75–110K. Remote. Reviewing medical necessity for insurance companies.

⚖️ Life Care Planner — $110–200K. Projecting lifetime care costs in injury lawsuits. Add the certification and the phone rings.

🧠 Workplace Violence Threat Assessment — $95–170K. Corporate security teams need behavioral risk people.

📱 Clinical Product Manager at a health tech company — $130–200K. They need clinicians who understand what they’re building.

📚 Curriculum Developer & Licensor — $100–200K+. Build the program one time. License it to agencies over and over.

🏛️ Accreditation Surveyor — $90–145K. CARF, Joint Commission, COA.

📋 Behavioral Health Compliance Officer — $95–155K.

🤝 Executive Coach — $100–250K+. Private pay. The clinical background is what sells it.

I’ve got twenty more on the list.

Now here’s the part I really want you to hear. Look at that last one on curriculum. That’s the only lane where you stop renting out your hours and start owning something. Everybody else on this list still trades time for money — just at a better rate.

Most of these don’t need another degree. They need a credential add-on and somebody to tell you the lane exists.

Drop a 🔑 in the comments if you want the full list of 30 with the income ranges.
