"I have always wanted to be a Counselor, as a way to help people, and make a great living. I thought you needed a College degree, or even a Master's degree or PhD in some States, so I had almost given up. A friend referred me to Phoenix State University's Accredited Pastoral Counselor Program, which only requires a High School Diploma. You have made my dream come true! I now have my own office, am my own boss, and am making over $70 an hour doing...(click to read more)"
"I am a Minister and a PhD. I have been a Pastoral Counselor for almost 40 years. The State of Washington had always been friendly to PC's until recently. The "New York" mentality has crept into the legislature, and the new ascendancy of regulators was threatening my practice. Your certification, and especially the "secular adds" you so wisely helped with literally saved my practice. You really are on the side of PC's, and the relentless attacks on us by the "therapy establishment" have now put a real champion in our corner with your fine organization...(click to read more)"
"From a job standpoint, I was like a fish out of water. I tried every profession known to man, from office work, to real estate, to nearly every infomercial in existence. I wanted to work for myself, but as a single parent, needed significant income, but could not do extensive travel, as required in sales positions. As a "people person" I loved helping struggling couples and Church members with everything from finances to relationships, and our Pastor suggested I check out PSU. I started in a spare bedroom, and made over $1,400 the first week, and felt happier helping people than I ever have in my life. I now have my own office, secretary and mini daycare room, and can't wait to get up in the morning to start my day! Thank you hardly says it, you have given me a whole new...(Click to read more)"
"I was retiring with nearly no savings, and a pension plan that didn't even provide 1/4 of what I needed to pay my monthly bills. Outplacement referred me to PSU for another degree, which is where I found the Pastoral Counseling Program. I have gone from no survival prospects being a Wal Mart greeter, to a valued member of my community helping many people not only with my PSU Certificate and license, but also my life experience. Older Americans used to be looked upon as out of it, I am now respected and am doing important work for many people. Income? I have to pinch myself to believe it, but I made over $133,000 part time in just...(click to read more)"
"As a stay at home mom, we were struggling, especially when my husband's construction job became part time. We had a little savings, enough to afford a small office, but not any retail store or other business. While trying to figure out what to do with a small office (I know, this is a DUMB way to start a business!), I told Jim I had always wanted to do Counseling. Ever step was a road block, requiring an MD, MSW, MS in Psych, etc. which was WAY out of reach with small kids and no undergrad degree. My sister stumbled on PSU, and I couldn't believe it! I now have more opportunities than I can handle, and am making so much in our little office that Jim doesn't have to work, and can watch the kids. What an amazing change from just a year ago, when we weren't sure we were even going to be able to keep our house or afford...(Click to read more)"
"I came from another direction entirely-- I was enrolled in your Holistic Counselor program. As I was working on my Holistic and Wellness Counseling Certificate, it dawned on me that treating the whole person had to mean spiritually as well. So, I added Pastoral Counseling as MY specialty in the other program, but then saw the importance in this economy of Finance and Career counseling as well. So, I've come full circle, and although my real love in life is exercise, nutrition, and herbal medicine, I'm finding that my practice has tripled being able to help in these other areas which are so crucial to the joy, happiness and wellness of the whole person as an evolving soul...
