What major is the best if I want to be an occupational therapist?

If I want to be an eating disorder therapist, what should I major in?

• I want to have a dual major in psychology and in ministries because I want to be an eating disorder therapist and also be in missionary work. Will psychology cover for an eating disorder therapist?

• Answer:

  You will need to receive a PhD or PsyD in psychology, be licensed by the state and do additional training in eat disorders. A bachelors degree will not be sufficient; a masters in psychology will not get you approved by an insurance company nor will it be sufficient for professional liability insurance. This means with a masters degree you will have to work in a clinic setting, provided you are able to get a job at this level or work on your own without insurance money and without professional liability insurance
