Does admin work from 10:27-10:35..... "Time to take a break" lmaooooooo

Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. I am also a PsyD student, and I can confirm that I am going through the same challenges. When I feel down, I remind myself that there's a reason why it's so competitive to get into a program like this, and that I am so lucky to have been selected. The issues you are facing are temporary and due to the severe stress you are facing. All will be well in the future 🙏🏼 Take one step at a time.

I got accepted to a PsyD program after completing my MS in clinical psychology; however, I decided not to go due to the cost of this particular doctoral program. I may try again in the future, but tbh, I am getting my supervision as an intern, and I’m set to make six figures (gross, not net) without getting the full pay ( a lot of supervised positions will do a split of the insurance reimbursement, so you might get 60-70% of what the insurance pays while your supervisor gets 30-40% of it). I can only imagine how much I’ll make as a fully licensed LMHC/LPC (LMHC in FL but I’m moving back to GA which calls the same license an LPC). I am interested in neuropsychology, and enjoy testing but the time to become a board-certified neuropsychologist is CRAZY. I kinda wanna just start my life already. I’ve already been in school forever lol. Also, I currently work as a psychometrist so I’m getting the testing experience without the responsibility of a clinical or neuro psychologist. The thing that sucks is I always wanted the doctorate (or thought I did), but I think my priorities have changed now that I’m no longer 18-20. Only thing that might be better imo is being able to do testing for a couple hrs and getting the same pay as a master’s level therapist does in a week seeing 15-30 clients (depending on your pricing). I’ve found that the mental health field doesn’t pay all that well at all unless you’re in private practice (which is what I’ll be doing). For some reason, our field is not as highly valued even tho mental health can affect literally every aspect of one’s life, including physical health. Anyway, I’m off my soapbox.😅😂thank you for the insight in your video!

yyou basically just trauma dumped on the whole UA-cam.. talk about the program lil nigga

❤

Thank you

Hey please help me out My question Is it compulsory to complete graduation from canada only to get license in future???

Hi! May I ask if having a Masters Degree (RPsy) can work abroad? Thankss!

As a fellow trainee in clinical psychology, this resonates deeply with me. Your transparency and vulnerability are not only relatable but also illuminating. Your openness reveals the true challenges of life as a student aspiring to become a psychologist.

I know I would have your feelings! (Right now, I need to choose either psyD or edD). So if you choose again, would you go for psyD again?

Are you a licensed therapist? Do you make this to your viewers...whether you are or aren't? You seem to present yourself as very knowledgeable...and I'm curious how transparent you are.

Thanks for sharing!!

What of dream interpretation?

Thank you for this video. What are you called if you only have a masters? Can you only call yourself a psychologist if you have a doctorate?

Thank you for sharing, Leo! You are doing great, keep making more videos. Wishing you success 🙌

Becoming a therapist will be the only way to patch together my own personal life since my mom was meddling

Thank you this really helped! I diddnt really want to do another 5 years and since a masters allows you to do so much I’m just going to do that!

It was helpful! Thanks :)

Thank you for the video im still deciding if i want to go for my masters in clinical psychology and be a therapist or go for the psyd and be a clinical psychology i want to mainly do counseling so the masters seems appealing but i also want to be more well rounded and learn as much in psychology im in my 3rd year for my bachelor's degree in psychology

This was nice and succinct.

Do you know if you can get licensed as a LPA then get the credentials (get your doctorate) and just upgrade your license without taking the EPPP again?

I loved this period - but also really appreciate seeing male clinician vlogs.

I want to study a bachelor's degree in psychology, but I am worried about what jobs will be waiting for me to get a bachelor's degree while I complete my master's or doctorate?😢

Leo thank you for being so encouraging!! There are so many videos of ppl that already have their phd but are so discouraging and then I look up jobs and they all require those degrees!! 😅gonna start applying and see what happens!

Hi Leo, how are you doing right now man? ... Guess what, from a mere selfish standpoint even your venting became knowledge for people like us thinking of doing Psy.D in counselling specialization (me being one such). Thanks for this video and for replying to all the comments it sure gave a backdrop of how much work goes into getting a doctoral degree. I dont think there are any other youtuber's like you with your specialization giving an idea as to how the programme actually works. You're helping a lotttt of people Leo, no worries:) Also, its been 1 and a half years since you posted a video... im sure you would have donw with your clg. Can you post a video of your reflection of this entire journey?!!! we defenitely would love to know further whether to go ahead with Psy.D! Thank you once again!

Grad school in general is such a tough process. Not only is the academic expectation and courseload intense but you also feel a little out of place because at this point most of your friends are working full time and maybe even starting families etc and then you're still in academia. It feels weird and you feel kind of out of sync with the world. You're lucky that your partner is also in school...which is amazing. She will kind of get where you're at in a way.

Congrats on your engagement! And thank you for the simple contrast to PsyD and MA.

You are going to be a dr. soon concgrads =D

Yuyu hakusho!

Appreciate you for being real with us🙏🏾 you got this!💪🏾

Its so messed up how scummy these programs are when it comes to the prices for people to just learn something people want to learn things to help others in life and they not only commit there 20s to this but they end up having to deal with tons of debt for just following a dream to help others the schooling system isn’t fair

Hello, I currently go to school in Texas and will be doing my post graduate studies soon here as well. I’m not interested in research but more of a clinical practice, which leaves me with 2 choices: MA in Clinical Psychology or a PsyD in clinical psychology. I know that here in the state of Texas if you pursue a MA in Clinical Psychology you qualify for an LPA license. I also know that if you meet certain criteria you’re able to practice independently as an LPA. My question is, if this is the case what’s the difference between a PsyD and a masters degree? Wouldn’t they fall under the same thing? I’m so confused lol. I hope you could help and thank you for the video!

Good Video

Thank you very much for this video, I had a question while watching this video, is the supervision course included in the university program or not? Does that mean you don't pay extra money to the supervisor? Because in my country, the supervision course is not part of the university program and we have to pay extra money and get a supervisor after finishing our studies, which means that in my country, apart from the university tuition, we have to pay for the supervisor as well. I wanted to know Is your country the same?

I can’t decide between LCSW or LMHC my end goal is children’s mental health and child life specialist.

Finishing my masters next year and strongly considering getting a psyD. I’ll have a master degrees in clinical mental health counseling.. my undergrad is a science degree in psych… did you go straight into the doctoral program? Or took a break after your masters?

Hi there Leo! I am a student pursuing my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I wanted to know if after completion of my graduate program, I can do my PsyD in clinical psychology and since I do not have my masters in the same, how challenging would/could it be to be shifting more towards the neurological realm. I would also like to understand if there is any particular concentration I should be taking if I plan on doing my PsyD in CP. Thanks in advance for the response. Appreciate the help

Hello Leo, Firstly i d like to thank you for all your videos, they are very informative. Adding on, i just want to know if having a masters in clinical psychology is eligible for counselling? As well as, does a masters in counselling qualify for a PHD in clinical psychology? Thanks in advance

Omg you got engaged at Hogwarts 🥺😭

Hi Leo! I’m new here to your channel. Going for my PsyD is my dream. I come from a journalism background, so I’m debating if I should get my masters in psychology first and then apply for the PsyD, or just go straight for the PsyD. The only reason why I figured the masters first is because it would give me that experience doing therapy with clients. And does it matter if I get a masters in clinical psychology or clinical mental health counseling before I go for the PsyD? Any help would be great thanks!

I genuinely, truly, REALLY appreciate this. I got my master’s in ‘21 and have been working since then. Finally starting to consider going back to school for counseling psych but this helped me realize that my life goals may not be aligned with a doctoral degree’s academic goals and requirements right now. I’m not really sure what else I would do…but I guess that’s the beauty of life! ❤️ THANK you for this. Deeply.

AHHHH I just moved to Austin and am an lpc associate (SO close to being done) considering UT’s doc programs! This is just what I needed!

Hi my name is Andre Paul and I am currently a student enrolled in a psychology master’s level program at Rhode Island College. The program is research oriented but I am actually not solely interested in research. I want to get my master’s degree and become counselor/therapist. Can I still become a therapist or a counselor with a master’s level degree in Psychology?

How is it and where are you at now? I’m in my third year PhD counseling psych and feel the same way. It feels increasingly not worth it considering in a few years the field will likely reduce schooling required since we’re not gonna have enough practitioners to meet the demands of the rieldb

Great video! I appreciate that it was quick and to the point. I’m finishing up undergrad with a major in psychology, and I’m seeking out all of the knowledge that I can to decide on my next steps. Also, congrats!!!

I’m applying this winter for a psy d program and i can’t explain how much i appreciate seeing someone talk about the reality of this program. it really helps. ❤

Hey. You're very inspirational and I hope you finish up and become a great counselor. I encourage you to keep making content whenever you can. I also aspire to do my PsyD someday.

How do you take care of yourself financially while doing your PsyD??

What apps, websites, have you found most useful in studying for exams and that you recommend for someone just starting a psyD Clinical Psychology program?

Thanks for the info. Just started my grad program and this was very informative.
