This is a very realistic view of working in the mental health field. As a Psychologist for over 30 years I reallly appreciate the comments and advice you have offered to those considering the field... 🙂

Thanks for sharing! I know you touched on it, but I was under the impression that you can make good money in private practice. It seems like the numbers would add up if you take insurance and have a good number of clients. Any thoughts or insight would be appreciated!

[@denaelynn_]

Yes! Private practice you can sometimes make more money. From those I know personally who have private practices mainly make “a lot” of money if they have people working under them or if you have an entirely virtual private practice. There are a lot of other costs you have to pay when having a private practice such as rent for the space, malpractice insurance, liability insurance, health insurance, etc. There are pros and cons it just depends on your preferences!

Why not Pepperdine? Was there something specific that you would have changed? Thanks💕

As far as the pepperdine part, it would be too much to explain in a single comment 🤣 but I filmed a lot of different videos talking about it if you’re interested! I definitely would have gone to a more affordable school for one. But most of the things I really want to do now don’t necessarily require a masters so I maybe would have reconsidered jumping into a master program so quickly after undergrad!
