    A general therapist, also called a psychotherapist, diagnoses and treats patients with mental or emotional disorders. Depending on your training, the methods you may use to treat your patients may differ. For example, you may focus on changing someone's unhelpful thoughts in a bid to change their behavior, or you may focus on discovering the root cause of certain thoughts.

    You must be certified to be a therapist and treat patients. The certification required will be dependent on where you are practicing. Beyond certification and a strong educational background, potential employers will be looking to get an idea of who your clientele usually is. Do you mostly treat couples, children, families, etc.? The experience section of your resume should make that clear. Take a look at this resume, to see what we mean.

    Tips to help you write your Therapist resume in 2022

       Outline the tools you use or your approach to therapy.

    A therapist’s tool set is determined by their training as well as what they have seen to be effective. It is important to give potential employers an idea of the tools you use within therapy, and the approach you take, so they can determine if you are a good fit for their clients. You can do this both in the skills section and the experience section of your resume.

       Show your range as a therapist.

    Because this is a general therapist’s resume, show your range in the field. That could be by showing that you treat a variety of clients, or by showing you have training in a wide range of therapy techniques. Employers will see you as well-rounded and as having more to offer than your competition.

    I had a clear uptick in responses after using your template. I got many compliments on it from senior hiring staff, and my resume scored way higher when I ran it through ATS resume scanners because it was more readable. Thank you!

    "My free resume review was truly eye-opening. I found out why I wasn't getting interviews and exactly what to add to get past resume screeners. I've already had way more callbacks since I used it. I recommend it to all my friends who are job searching."
