MA in Counselling, MSW or MFT degree is the best option if you are seeking for master's degree/therapist license.

I really admire the way you try to lead a life that touches others in a positive way. You sound like an amazing person.<br /><br />You said that you consider the time spend as an attorney a waste of time almost. Nothing to show for it. I am chewing on that one myself. Interesting.

You've got my e-mail so let me know if you have any questions. I will say that changing careers mid-life was not unusual in my field.
