  1. What you're saying makes a lot of sense. I was thinking of applying to masters programs first anyway, so that I can really see what I am interested in. That being the case, I would like for the masters to also prepare me to apply to a PsyD program in case I decide that I want to take that step. Do you think that programs that prepare you for the LMFT and the LPC would also prepare you for a PsyD program? Just for reference, my interests include depression, mood disorders, marital/couple therapy, spirituality, existential, life coaching, and suicide prevention among other things. Also, I love the idea of the humanistic approach.
  2. What do you guys think about the job market regarding people with wither a PsyD or PhD in clinical psychology? It sounds like something I would love doing in theory, but I am just uncertain about the reality of the job market. I know most end up having their own practice (which is also what I would like to eventually do), but I am just concerned about jobs right after getting a doctoral degree.
  3. -Thank you for your advice Can you elaborate more on why you think that a PsyD or PhD doesnt help people professionally as much as they think? I was just thinking that more schooling will allow me to be better equipped to help those in need.
  4. I am a recent graduate and I have recently become interested in ultimately having my own practice. Right now I think I have to get a masters first since I do not have any research or clinical experience. I would love for the masters and PhD or PsyD programs that I apply to to be mainly practice-oriented since I do not want to go into academia. Also, I think I would enjoy a more practice-oriented program. Does anyone know of any good options? (Preferably in California, but other options are ok as well). Also, how important is research experience for those who are applying to a more practice-oriented masters program? It is hard to find research opportunities when you are out of college. I would prefer to get some clinical experience and then do my research while at a masters program before applying to a PhD or PsyD. Would that make sense? Thanks for the help in advance!
