PsyD holders! Would u say its worth it to continue into getting a doctorate at this level or would u have stayed at a masters level ( with a degree in counseling) ? From my research i know at the end of the day one would still be an LPC (just different licensure exams) and the pay doesn’t seem that significantly different. Also please expand on conducting assessments at your level vs a masters. Please Psy.D holders, share your experience, thoughts, and any significances. Im finding it hard to decide between the two.

Anyone who graduated from a mpcac accredited school as opposed to a cacrep have any issues with licensure and accepting insurance in practice? I am looking at a school whose masters in counseling is mpcac accredited that is sort of a pipeline into their psyd program and wondering if it it worth it is worth going through the program if i stop at a masters.
