No problem! Yeah tuition is def one of the biggest hurdles. There are some psyd programs that come with stipends and funding or opportunities to work as a TA to help cover the costs. Phd programs also tend to have more funding than psyd programs. Good luck in your journey!

To become a therapist, a masters in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) or a licensed Clinical Social Worker ( LCSW) or Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, or LPCC) are cheaper & do not take as long as obtaining a PsyD - are excellent options to explore as well. Also, if pursuing a Psyd, do make sure the school is APA accredited/ approved otherwise you will experience severe problems obtaining internships and licensure. Best wishes in your future career endeavors everyone!

I really enjoyed your passion and knowledge on this topic. I am debating whether a LCSW, LMFT or PsyD would best suit my needs. I know I want to do therapy, but i’m still unsure about the research side. I figure I’ll decide after I do a bit more research. I would also like to know more about psychology programs in different countries and if I’d still be able to practice in the US.

Thanks for the support! I actually will be putting out a video in a few weeks about the topic of LCSW, LMFT, vs. PsyD so that may help! Also that's a great question about psychology programs in different countries. I believe as of right now it depends on the country and the state. I'm not sure if there is any equivalent degree and I think it's a complex issue that's still being debated among psychologists. Some schools may accept credits for transfer, but I'm not sure about states accepting licensure from different countries for practice. I wish I knew more, but great question!

@philsguidetopsyd Жыл бұрын
This is a great question, I think I/O psychology is fascinating and it pretty much combines business with psychology. Having a PsyD could give people tools in how to do research in the work place, or learning assessments that provide data for companies to make decisions, even doing consulting/crisis intervention work in organizations who may have conflict or interpersonal emotional issues among co-workers. I think skies the limit with that combo, best of luck!

What is the advantage of a PsyD over a LPC.
@philsguidetopsyd Жыл бұрын
The main advantage would be scope of practice, PsyD have more opportunities to do research/teach in doctoral programs. As well as are trained in psychological/neuropsychological testing so they can perform batteries for patients and diagnose mental health disorders related to dementia, dyslexia, autism, etc. The pay is a little more than a LPC but with private practice LPC's it kind of evens out. There may be more opportunities for PsyD to be in supervision/administrative roles in health/medical centers or mental health centers, it all just depends on where you live but those are a few advantages.

Hi Phil, I'm 25, just graduated pharmacy school with a PharmD in 2020 with about 120k student loans. I'm a licensed pharmacist but currently working in a pharma company. Although it's a good career with a good salary, I don't feel like it's my calling or passion. I realized that psychology is my interest and not really pharmacy, but with existing student loans, I'm worried it may not be the smartest thing to pursue. Do I have to go back to school for undergrad in psych in order to get into grad programs? Or is my Doctor of Pharmacy degree sufficient for me to apply directly to grad programs in psych and maybe just add on 2-3 core classes? Can you please give me some advice :) thanks!!
@philsguidetopsyd3 жыл бұрын
Wow great question! Also congrats on graduating pharmacy school, even though it may not be want you to want to do long-term that's still an accomplishment!! So first of all, I will say that I've seen people even in my graduate program and other graduate programs where people already have doctoral degrees in another subject but still choose to pursue another doctorate degree, so that's not unheard of. I will say the student loans make this a tricky situation, the last thing you want is to rack up so much debt that it's difficult to overcome. The other thing is that being a psychologist doesn't guarantee making over 6 figures, ( I know plenty that do) but it's not a career that people say is lucrative, so with more debt it might be difficult. The biggest thing I would suggest is that maybe a PsyD may not be the best option because they usually don't provide a stipend and rather the PhD in Clinical Psychology would be a good fit. The only reason I say that is that most PhD programs will provide a stipend, you'd also be able to work maybe even in a pharmacy job part-time during graduate school which would significantly pull down your student loan debt. In terms of whether or not your pharmD degree will be sufficient for applying, it might be but I would contact schools that you are interested in. A lot of times they may waive the GRE and prerequisite classes because of your doctoral degree. Other schools may accept you and still have you do the prerequisite courses while you're pursing the PhD. But my guess is I don't think you'd have to go back to undergrad, but double check with the schools that you apply to. I hope this helps, good luck on your journey!

Hello Thank you so much for your videos! I have I have an undergrad degree in Biology, my initial plan was to get into med school. I however want to apply to a PsyD program or PhD in clinical psychology. My question is, do you think I would have to complete some undergraduate courses in psychology before I can apply to any of these programs or can I apply directly to a program? Or would you suggest contacting schools individually before I apply to find out? Secondly, do these programs require shadowing hours or patient care hours like med schools usually require? Thank you!
@philsguidetopsyd2 жыл бұрын
Hey great question! It depends on what school/program you apply to. Some schools have certain courses that they want their prospective students to take so it's good to check with the admissions protocol on the school's website to see what you need before applying. They usually have that info there, or you can email the schools too. Most schools will require some psych courses and the GRE, Letters of recommendation, and a personal statement for applying. For your second question, they the schools do not tend to require shadowing hours but they do like to see some clinical or research experience that is shown in your CV or discussed in your personal statement.
