Master's degree options for BCBA credential?

[JackieChan]

Hi there,

So, I want to get a Master's degree and get my BCBA credential!  However, given that it seems there are a few different Master's degrees I can pursue to that end, I would like to incorporate some of my other therapeutic interests as well to the greatest extent possible.  I'm wondering what you fine people might suggest in terms of incorporating some of these towards my BCBA:

Group therapy (e.g., relationship/family)
Positive & strengths psychology ("finding meaning")
Psychological testing
Career Counseling

This is by no means an exhaustive list of interests, but I'd say these are some of the core ones outside of Behavior Analysis.  I suspect I could get into career counseling with any license-granting Master's?  Testing is more or less that way, to my understanding, unless I want to do it independently.  It's probably worth noting that the ability to have a private practice would be something I'd prioritize pretty highly in general.

I know a lot of this varies by location, but I'd like to keep my options open in that regard as well (haha).  At present, it's important to me that I can practice in both California and Michigan, but who knows what the future holds?  I did notice a MFT degree with the required BCBA classes; maybe this is a good bet?  https://www.thechicagoschool.edu/los-angeles/programs/ma-clinical-psychology-mft-aba-program/  Still, I'm interested in general suggestions, as I imagine this one is quite competitive and rare to come by.

Thanks a lot! ?

Did I post in the right place for this?  Any suggestions for where I should be looking for answers?
