Usually at least six years of college to the Master's level, then licensure by the state. There are exceptions in some fields*, and many so-called therapists who are only minimally qualified and working under someone else's supervision.
*A person with a bachelor's degree, for one example, can become a Certified Addiction Professional or Certified Mental Health Professional without additional college, but the special courses and the written and oral exams amount to about the same thing -- with perhaps more practical aspects in terms of what is learned.
BTW hoped that helped!
it will take about 7 to 8 years
To become a respiratory therapist you have to have an associates degree (three years at an accredited college)
In order to be an occupational therapist it would take up to 6 years but many people can choose to continue going to college till they receive their PhD.

im not quiet sure, but you can research it on a computer.
After high school (if you start college right away) it should take about 4 years to become a physical therapist.
This would be strictly dependent on which type of therapist you are referring to for there are many types. There are psychotherapist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist etc.
To become a counselor, you need four years of college (a Bachelors Degree). To become a licensed therapist, you need to obtain a Masters degree (5-7 years of college).
I talked to a physical, occupational and speech therapist...and they ALL said it used to take four years of schooling, now for some reason it has been upped to 6. So...it takes six OR seven years of schooling to be any type of therapist. Unless you combine college therapist classes in with high school, then when you actually start going to college...it will take four years. Hope that helps!

Becoming certified as a respiratory therapist can take up to 3 or 4 years depending the after field you want to go into. It is well worth it though as it is a very rewarding profession.
