Nontraditional interested in clinical psych

Any advice for a K-12 teacher interested in clinical psych to take psychology courses and gain research experience to decide if they might one day be interested in applying to doctorate programs? Would someone need a doctorate in clinical psych to work somewhere like a university counseling center?
