Hello, I have now been working in the counseling field for a few years, and have started to get a better idea of my areas of interest. I work as an emergency services clinician, assessing individuals who are suicidal, homicidal, and/or psychotic and determine if they need to be in a psych facility against their will, as well as some outpatient counseling. I've realized more and more that I really love crisis work and risk/threat assessment. I've also been interesting in resilience and how this can mediate the risk of going into "crisis mode." I wasn't a great student in undergrad (3.2 GPA overall, 3.6 in psych), but I did do some independent research on social anxiety and self-regulation. I did do fairly well in my master's program (MS in counseling and human development), with an overall GPA of around 3.5-3.6. My GRE score was 1290, and the 5 years will be up soon, so I've started thinking about if a PhD/PsyD program may line up with my interests. I've also started realizing that I think I would enjoy supervisory work as well. I don't have much interest in research, and not really decided on teaching. It just seems with a masters in suicide/homicide assessments and crisis work, I may have limited options to move up, and it would be nice to have a wider variety of options. Even if I do decide to go for it, with my mediocre GRE/GPA scores, would I stand much of a chance? I did work through both undergrad and grad, and have experience in working with aggressive adolescent males in an inpatient setting, 2 years of crisis stabilization work, and 2 years of suicide/homicide assessments. Would this be enough to help make my application more appealing?
