allfordream1 reacted to C_Lamoureux in Fall 2019 Clinical Psychology Canadian Applicants!
Hey! I am from windsor/ did my BA there. If you want to PM me and tell me who your PI is, I can tell you a little more about them. Honestly, every school will have good and bad professors. I have a friend doing her MA in counselling and her supervisor gives her no support. As for the program itself, they are making strides in multiple areas of psychology and there are certainly many opportunities for placements that will allow you to build the skills necessary to be a clinical psychologist. I think the biggest question is: are you interested in clinical or counselling psychology as a career, because once you start a program it is VERY difficult to switch. Also, as a student, if you feel like you are not being supported adequately by your PI, there are policies in place to protect the students and you will be able to change faculty advisors. Hope this helps!

allfordream1 got a reaction from foood in Fall 2019 Clinical Psychology Canadian Applicants!
Hello everyone,
I wonder if any of you know much about University of Windsor's Clinical Psychology program? This is the only Clinical Psychology admission I got while I also had another admission of Counseling Psychology from a school in the U.S. I am now debating which program I should choose. I personally prefer Clinical Psychology program than Counseling Psychology program since I would love to have more training in assessment and diagnosis. I recently chat with someone who graduated from U of Windsor. She told me that she does not like the research aspect of the program and she does not feel much support from her professor. She found it difficult to complete her dissertation due to lack of support. I feel quite concerned about this. There will be the Open House on March 8th, and I will meet the students to find out more about the program.
On the other hand, the students from the Counseling Program in the U.S. are very happy with their programs and professors. Funding is not an issue at all.
I wonder if someone can give me some insight toward my situation? Should I go for the Counseling instead of Clinical? I always want to go to a Clinical program, but now I am not sure at all. Thank you very much!
