Teen Mom: Amber Portwood Reveals She Wants To Be A Therapist

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood never has a dull moment in her life. The reality TV star truly enjoys interacting with her followers on social media. Recently, the Teen Mom star revealed that she would like to try online therapy. In one of her recent live streams, she mentioned that many people find her through her frequent TikTok Lives. Amber added that it made her think she could do whatever she puts her mind to. She further said that, for years, she has enjoyed helping people by chatting with them online.

“I would even do the online therapy stuff,” she admitted. She also revealed that becoming a therapist would be fun for her. Portwood said she would feel happy to talk to her fans and say, “Well, I’m a therapist and I’m able to say this.” Amber further claimed that she is always helping people with specific thoughts. “But I always have to say, I’m not a therapist, so I can’t say this, that, or the other,” she said.

Teen Mom: Fans Concerned About Amber’s Career Choices

Teen Mom alum Amber Portwood seems to be very serious about pursuing a career as an online therapist. If she has the proper educational qualifications, she could easily get a license to become a full-time therapist. However, her fans seem somewhat unconvinced by her enthusiasm. They think that becoming a therapist might not be the right career path for her. There’s an explanation for that, too.

Amber has struggled with anger issues and has been arrested more than once for domestic violence. Fans have often seen her break down on her TikTok account. She has also had a difficult time dealing with substance abuse. Knowing all of this, fans are concerned about whether she would be the right person to seek therapy from. Followers have pointed out that, over time, she has failed to manage her own emotions, so how could she help anyone else with theirs?

Still, even if she believes she is suitable for this career path, she would need to meet several educational requirements. Portwood does not have much college experience. However, a few months ago, she claimed that she was a top student in Psychology at Purdue University. According to the Ashley Reality Roundup Group, she actually enrolled at Purdue Global instead. It is still unclear if she holds a degree. To become a licensed therapist, she would need a bachelor’s degree.

Although the subject does not necessarily matter, a degree in psychology, sociology, or social work would be ideal. She would also need to pursue a master’s degree in the field. Amber would have to complete supervised clinical hours before applying for a state license. It would take her nearly seven to nine years to reach this goal.
