[@CocoaAlmondJoy]

We need more school psychologists so this is video is great to encourage everyone to go into this field!

[@Couple2Love]

Yes we do need more! I totally agree

[@nicshannon21]

This is an amazing video!! Always cool to learn more about school psychology. I’m aspiring to be a school psychologist, and it’s always great to see minorities in the field! THANK YOU for this.

[@Couple2Love]

You’re welcome! And thanks for taking the time out to watch!

[@ayoomiax]

Can you do a entire video on interviews? Interviewing for grad school, internship, and first job??

[@Couple2Love]

Yes. I sure can!

[@augusto29556]

It is refreshing to get to see a school psychologist who is very passionate about education and mental health. As a LMSW from South Carolina, I can say that mental health is a tough field but at the same time, I personally see it as a needed service. I really enjoyed all of your videos.

[@Couple2Love]

Thanks so much for watching! Yes, you’re right I am passionate. Our kids are the future. I agree mental health field can be very difficult and draining, yet so rewarding! ❤️

[@alynbeall]

Literally the cutest personality 😍😭

[@Couple2Love]

Awww thanks ❤️

[@jordanray7319]

You are changing lives with this information. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@Couple2Love]

Aww thank you and you are welcome, I’m glad I can help!! ❤️💕

[@marcellacorrales3916]

Thank you so much for the videos.. I am a Junior in my undergrad in Oklahoma in the Psych program. I’ve been stuck between counseling and school psych for the masters program for some time now. There’s slim to no information I have found on the internet so you are a God-send. Thank you so much! ❤️

[@Couple2Love]

You’re welcome. I’m so glad I can help.❤️

[@EvelyneMariee]

I just found your Channel! I love your content. I am starting my graduate courses in the next academic school year I’m super excited!

[@Couple2Love]

Thanks❤️. And a super congratulations to you!

[@lexxiephillips5825]

This is soooo helpful. I start my practicum fall 19. I am in California as well. You have given me so much inspiration.

[@Couple2Love]

Awww thanks! Good luck in your practicum! Make sure you’re subscribed because more videos will be coming!!! ❤️

[@metalbeauty8226]

I just subscribed and I am so glad I came across your videos! Thank you so much. I was looking into getting my LMFT but am now sure I want to do school psychology instead. Thank you!!

[@Couple2Love]

Thanks for subscribing! I’m glad I am able to help!! I have an aunt and a cousin who are LMFT! Both are great fields and are vastly different! But School Psychology is best 🤣! I might be biased! I will be dropping more videos soon, stay tuned!! ❤️

[@shabnamshabafroozan9102]

SAME HERE

[@jemyrae]

Hi! Thank you so much for answering my question!! In my state, EdS is required but I’m going for my PhD because I want to eventually open up my own practice after working in schools. As an update, I have two interview invites so I’m expecting the worst but praying for the best! I love that you’re sharing about the field to KZbin and I appreciate it. Blessings to you! 💛

[@Couple2Love]

You’re welcome! Congratulations on the invites. Have you already completed your internship? Just prepare and I’m sure you will do great! I’m working on opening a private practice as well. In California all we need is to be certified as an Licensed Educational Psychologist. Good luck to you!!! ❤️

[@jemyrae]

@@Couple2Love I am currently in my senior year and will graduate with my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. My student teaching internship, if that's what you're asking about, will be done in May! I have an interview on Friday and the other one next Friday. I'm praying. Thank you again! (:

[@Couple2Love]

Oh okay. So are you going into teaching? How did your interview go?

[@indiaholder4482]

I'm so happy I came across your channel. I will be taking online psychology courses with Grand Canyon University and was trying to figure out which psychologist I would want to be (as far as children), and I was thinking about being a school psychologist. Your videos helped me make my final decision. Thank you so much, you're awesome! 😄👍

[@Couple2Love]

Thanks so much for the support. I’m glad was able to help you decide. ❤️

[@SamanthaJCarroll]

Subscribed! I'm starting my degree towards being a school psychologist in Canada, and I love your videos! It's hard to find information about school psychology, so I appreciate these videos!

[@Couple2Love]

Thanks for subscribing! ❤️ Yeah there aren’t many videos out there! I will be posting more videos, stay tuned!!! Let me know if there is anything you would like to see in a video!?

[@SamanthaJCarroll]

I'd love to see in depth what the responsibilities of a school psychologist are, and a detailed description of the job! Also - do you get the same breaks as a teacher would? (Christmas break, summer break, etc)! Love your videos - thanks :) I'll stay tuned

[@Couple2Love]

Great questions. I’ll definitely will incorporate these in my future videos.

[@amandaogbureke2574]

I love this video so imformative. Would you say that this is a great field for anyone who stuggled with social challenges and wanting to help people get through it.

[@Couple2Love]

Thanks 😊 💕Definitely a great field if you love helping people! Especially if you love working with young people! Are you saying you had social challenges ? Or do you want to help those with social challenges ?

[@DANiELLEOBAMAO8]

So thankful to have found your videos. I’m graduating in May with my BS in psych and finally decided on pursuing my MS in school psych, I also found a program! It’s so nice to see someone I can relate to make videos about my dream job. Definitely subscribing and please make more!

[@Couple2Love]

Awww thanks❤️ I’m glad I’m relatable! Yes I’m very down to earth 😩! Congrats on your accomplishments thus far! Yay another future school psychologist!! And yes I will be making more videos!

[@TiffanyLee]

Thanks for all the great information about the field! How long have you been practicing? Your hair looks amazing by the way :D it would be really awesome to collab sometime

[@Couple2Love]

You’re welcome.For six years. It has gone by so fast 🥴. Are you a psych?

[@aireona.343]

Post more videos !!! We miss you 😩.

[@Couple2Love]

[@melissayeri1749]

Thanks for this video, very informative. I am going for an interview for this position. Wish me luck 😅

[@Couple2Love]

Good luck!

[@marjoriejackson9416]

Awesome job

[@imanicain6485]

hey i see you have 4 children in one of your comments , I have 3 sons ! so its truly inspiring to see you go above and beyond with children. I Have a bachelors in business management nd I was wondering do you think i still have a good chance of getting into a masters level program for school psychology ? I want to go as far as doctoral.

[@tenebaum6595]

Hey! you answered my question and I’m learning so much through your videos! I just applied to Brooklyn college school psych program for the fall. You are so down to earth and such a big help to your viewers! Keep up the good work! Oh and my silly KZbin name is pronounced TEN-EH-BAWM lol

[@Couple2Love]

Congrats! You’re welcome and thanks for watching ❤️! Ok, I knew I butchered that name 😩

[@mommy8406]

Me too 😊

[@Karina-rz7wm]

Hi! I love you videos :) You are seriously a go-getter and your videos are so interesting. Can you please give me tips for internship. I go to National University in El Segundo - so any tips help

[@Couple2Love]

Yes I remember those days! My advice would be, study and make sure you understand what this job entails. Example, learning all the disabilities and how you qualify students for sped. I think this is one of the most important things. However, other portions of the job are equally as important. Ex. Counseling, collaboration, report writing and how to interpret results. I will also say save up your money, just in case you don’t get a paid internship. This time can be very stressful especially if you have financial obligations and responsibilities. Start early looking for your practicum and internship. It’s so much I can give advice on but that’s just a few that came to mind. And thanks so much for watching, I’m glad you are enjoying! ❤️

[@Lakirashanee]

Thank you so much for creating these videos ! I’m currently a school Psychology grad student and I wanted to know if you are a member of NASP and if so have you ever attended a national convention? Is it worth it for a graduate student to sign up with NASP?

[@Couple2Love]

You’re so very welcome. Actually I’m not a member of NASP, but I am member of the California Association of School Psychologists (CASP). I have never attended a national convention, only the state level. I was planning on attending this year in Atlanta but it snuck up on me so quickly. I will definitely be going next year. Yes I think it’s worth signing up to keep up to date with evidence based practices and all the resources they offer. I signed up for California because it’s specific to my state, in terms of current regulations. They both offer similar information. Thanks for watching ❤️

[@pigeonman670]

@Couple2Love Hello thanks for the video! I was wondering how difficult is it to find a job after graduate school in California? Also what are ways we can get a real perspective of what it is like to be a school psychologist before we commit to a graduate program. Thank you

[@Couple2Love]

After I graduated and my credentialed clear, I was hired literally the next week. I was able to start on the second week of school. There is a huge need in California, I receive emails all the time because I have my resume posted. Yes that’s awesome that you want to get a real perspective of what it’s like to be a school psych. Is there anything specific that you would like to see? Maybe I can do a video to help you.

[@pigeonman670]

@@Couple2Love omg that's really nice to hear and thank you so much for the reply. I live in bay area and there seems to be a big demand for school psychologists and dont wanna move to far from home. I was wondering while if we are in undergraduate school should we volunteer or what can we do to get some kind of experience to show when we apply to graduate school. Maybe working with children with special needs or autism?I do have 2 questions. Would you know if there is difference in work life and workload between rural and urban school psychologists and also what are the chances that one would have to be in 3 different school like in your situation. Thank you again subscribed!

[@Honest000w]

Hi, What is the job market like? What is a realistic starting salary and earning potential. Is the degree confining? Are we declared general psychologist as well? I am already a licensed mental health counselor 👌🏾

[@Mekaila113]

How is the work-life balance of this job? Do you feel like you are always working and doing work at home? What characteristics do you think someone has to have to be a successful school psychologist?

[@Couple2Love]

These are some great questions! Definitely will be answered in my next video! It’s so much I can’t even think of typing my answer 🥴😩

[@kitty_1260]

I’m about to go to college and I want to go into this field. What would you recommend I take to be qualified to be a school psychologist? What major? How hard was it to become licensed

[@Couple2Love]

Great questions. I can definitely address these in an upcoming video.

[@breanneknox5117]

Do you know if you can get a school psychologist degree and become a school counselor with it ever? I like both jobs but don’t want to get two degrees if I can have one and do either. Thanks!

[@Couple2Love]

These are two separate jobs and require graduate programs in each area. So if you wanted to do both you would have to get a degree in each area. As a school psychologist I wouldn’t be able to work as a school counselor or vice versa.

[@angelae2572]

please go live. You are God-sent!!!

[@Couple2Love]

Thank you❤️. I’m still trying to figure out what will be the best day and time.

[@Richard-Reloaded]

What is the job market like for school psychologists in CA?

[@Couple2Love]

Actually the job market is awesome right now! I have my resume up on different sites and I receive emails all the time about positions!

[@bk25568]

What school did you go to??

[@amandaogbureke2574]

Hello! I am also interested in this field! I am in my 3rd year in school. I am looking into this field

[@Couple2Love]

Hi. Feel free to email me [e-mail]

[@bk25568]

Did you need to get a psychology bachelors to get into the masters program?

[@bk25568]

I got a bachelors in sociology

[@Couple2Love]

I got my bachelors in Human Services. It really doesn’t matter what you get your Bachelors in. I’ve seen people switch careers that was in Business etc. Of course it would be helpful if someone majored in Psychology initially, that’s a good foundation to build upon in the School Psychology program. Ultimately the school psychology program will teach you everything you need to know about the career.

[@riannarocksmar]

Do you have any advice/comments regarding some of the negative things people say about school psychology? I was reading this thread www.indeed.com/community/healthcare/school-psychology-as-a-career-pros-and-cons-please-advise/td-p/758348/page/2 and it seems mostly negative.

[@Couple2Love]

I read through some of the comments and this is how some people feel. I cant knock it because that is their experience of the field. However, I would say that there is a lot of work that comes with this profession. Ex. Report writing, testing, meetings. And a lot of the times you may have a demanding caseload. So, if someone is not willing to put forth the effort that is required of this position then it may not be the job for them. If a person doesn’t like writing or writing reports, attending meetings etc. Then they should rethink the position. Yes, I’ve had demanding caseloads where I’ve taken work home. Yes, it can be stressful. But I also love my job and I practice self care. Your job is what you make it. I hope this helps. TFW, let me know if you have any other questions. ❤️

[@riannarocksmar]

Couple2Love Thank you so much! 😊 I like to hear different opinions from professionals. I appreciate you making these videos.

[@Couple2Love]

Glad I can help, you’re welcome 💕

[@odalysf.5788]

Do public or private schools pay more?

[@Couple2Love]

It depends. The salary ranges vary from districts to private schools. The salaries in California range from $75,000 - $100,000 +. It just depends on that particular district or private school on what they are offering on their pay scales. But I find that they both are any where between the salary mentioned above. I’ve always applied to the highest paid districts. And the one I’m in now is pretty decent.

[@Richard-Reloaded]

The year long internships are really ridiculous and exploitative. Why would I pay tuition to work for free? That's wild to me.

[@Couple2Love]

Yeah it’s a lot ! However, they are offering more paid internships than before! But I feel you, it’s definitely a sacrifice but worth it in the end!

[@sunnysol805]

Live💗 ;)

[@mackdaddyjaz]

What is your work/ life balance .... are you able to live comfortably and still enjoy family and work or is the job emotionally taxing ?

[@Couple2Love]

Yes the job can be emotionally taxing. But it’s all in how you create professional boundaries. I’ve learned recently that it’s okay to say no to colleagues and that I can only do what I can. At times I have some much work but lately I’ve been refusing to take it home unless absolutely necessary! I have four kids and a husband so I have to set those boundaries.

[@Couple2Love]

And yes I do live comfortably, it’s a great field. I have teacher work hours, weekends and holidays off. Plus winter, spring and summer break. There are pros and cons just like any other profession, for me the pros out weighs the cons! TFW ❤️
