Step 1— lots and lots of school then Collage than University.

sooo your 13 now?, you should be good to go to step-2 by the time your 30–40
I assume you’re thinking of the future.
Get the best quality education as possible. One little hint in achieving that which you can do now is to pay attention in English class.
When it’s time to be applying to schools they do pay attention to things like spelling, grammar and punctuation. Continuing to write without punctuation or capital letters will just p*ss them off needlessly and get your application thrown in the trash.
If you have a genuine desire to help people with emotional/mental problems it’s just a fact that a good education is a requirement. There is no getting around that unless all you want to do is be a fortune teller or psychic.
But even successful psychics like John Edwards got a good education under their belt. It helps with credibility.
Before you go into this field, I suggest you do volunteer work at a charity family counseling center, and find out what they require for their counselors to start.
After you have completed the years of schooling required to become a licensed family counselor, find a job in a charity sponsored counseling facility, such as the Red Cross, Bright Light Teen and Family Counseling or California Family Counseling Network.
i think you need some promotion work ,such as online promotion ,or you can start your own sites introduced yourself and your business to others
