This video was super helpful and informative. I'm wondering how many hours is the practicum? And how long did it take you to finish while working the 4 days/4-5 hours per day schedule?

The foundation before the primer 😩

I really appreciate your content.

I really appreciate your content.

Me: Pepperdine MA, PsyD. Great, albeit expensive, experience for me. Retired after 18 years as a LPC, LMFT, Psychological Assistant, and Psychologist. Never had a problem getting licensed in ANY state. Dr. Elaine Mura was my major advisor...and she was great, but the more I stayed away from Seaver, the happier I was. For example, Dennis Lowe was the worst teacher I have ever had in my several graduate degree programs. I also have an MPA degree. LOL Word to the wise, at Seaver, if you aren't Church of Christ, you will be 2nd class on-campus. Is it worth it? NO! CSPP is a much better option. BTW, my best year shrinking heads in private practice was $85K. The era of private practice is OVER. You will end up working for an agency.

i really appreciate for your content.

I love your first video.

Awesome talk.

HEY LYXBAGS!! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day <3

Which waived classes did the board not accept, and from what school? I got my classes waived as well so I want to address this matter with them right away.

Thank you for this video

Thank you for this

Are you guys getting ready to move again soon? I only ask cause I know you've been living in this apartment for almost a year

Hi, thank you for this great video with a lot of informations! May I also ask, was it hard? I mean the courses, exams, homeworks, ... Was there a lot of studying? xx

Thank you for sharing, I am currently in the same situation as you are. It is nice to know what changes I can make to advocate for myself and others in my program.

Nice vlog! Which part of year was it?

Cheers, we’re in this together. I’m in a phase where I feel like I’m stagnating.. but lets hope that everything will fals into place, we’re going to be happy, sad and calm at different moments. Life is what it is ;)❤

I completely agree with you and am experiencing this right now. Unfortunately, so is just about everyone else I’ve spoken to who is in the program right now. I had heard that this was an issue so I started searching for sites pretty early but live in a somewhat smaller area so there aren’t a ton near me. They sent me a site to apply to and when I contacted them they said their program didn’t meet the requirements. Why would Pepperdine send me a site they haven’t confirmed meets the requirements. Then, a site I applied to and was offered a position with all on my own got so frustrated with Pepperdine not getting back to them that they had to move on. Now I’m back to square one and afraid I’m going to have to settle for a site that I have no interest in, if I’m even lucky enough to get that. I’ve appreciated most of the rest of the program. But if we can’t get a practicum site, we can’t become a therapist which is the whole point. I’m extremely disappointed.

Great video, hope you enjoyed your time in Scotland...

❤️❤️❤️ this is amazing thank you so much, love you lots! Also my post wedding face lol

Such great honest content. Now that I'm in the thick of it (grad school) I can see why there is such a lack of mental health counselors in California. I mean it's been so hard for me to get a practicum site here and the school I go to sucks with zero support from them , working and being a mom I feel so defeated at the moment. But your video did encourage me to not give up so THANK YOU!

Thank you for this ! You are so open and this is literally my struggle right now in grad school .

i feel your pain

Hi! Can you let is know if your actual degree says “online” on your diploma? Pepperdine just hiked up their tuition rates to $1945 a unit, so I’m not willing to pay over $133k for my diploma to say “online” on it as a designation for the MFT program. Thank you! Have been following your Pepp journey for about a year now. I just got accepted June 2024

Hi, what does a masters in counseling program that does prepare you for the licensure exam look like to you now? Idk if you have taken the exam yet but maybe you have some insight on that please and thank you !😊

I’m glad she realized it’s not worth it. For anyone reading this comment who is considering a master’s in counseling but can’t afford “prestige” universities, remember that the most important factors are CACREP accreditation and state licensure approval. PEPPERDINE is not CACREP accredited, which is a significant drawback given its high cost. Make sure your program is accredited and has a strong placement team for finding you a practicum. The license you get from an accredited program is what truly matters, not the name of the school.

Nice video sharing

Nice video sharing, I support you for publishing another video.❤❤❤💚💚💚💗💗💗

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!

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... 🙂

🖐👍

Hi. I am a Psychologist and enjoyed your video...very helpful for people interested in our field! 😂

Hi! I am currently applying. I don't have research/formal clinical experience but I have a good GPA and a psychology degree with work and relevant volunteer experiences. Do you think this is enough for acceptance? Is clinical experience required when I apply?

Good evening, National University (the university I'm attending) does not offer help in placement. However, I am searching around my city to find the best placement for me. I wanted to ask if most practicum sites approve students to intern for them? Or is it possible to also be denied? I guess I'm living with the fear of not being able to find one that I like and if I do, I get denied. I had an interview today and I assumed it went well but they said it would take a week to hear back via email. Thank you!

Wow I wish my apartment had a storage unit where I could have store my home decor items.

Wow its a very huge 1 bedroom apartment

I created a office Area in my bedroom has well...your room is very big.

Do they associate their classes with religion/church stuff?

Thanks for sharing! I enjoy hearing your story and am grateful for your vulnerability.

The best weekend with you 🤍 and the cutest little montage!!

Glad everything worked out for you!

very important opinion

May I ask where you got your laptop stand? And what is your new position? :) Congrats!

Lovely upload my friend, so nicely executed and edited!

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

Holy hell 120,000 my major is psychology but I’m not going here if it’s that expensive now after aid is $80k

I’m on spironolactone too! I will say I stopped taking it for a bit and a lot of my acne returned 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m liking this video despite the sweatshirt so you should know that I really love you 😂

I can’t believe you just put up this video! I feel like it’s fate! I considered Pepperdine too but after hearing your experience I may look elsewhere. I have a BS in psych and have been considering doing my masters in counseling also but I have a whole different set of factors against me than you😅 two little kids and a husband In the army. One question I have is can you take your time getting the 3000 hrs or do you have to get them within a certain period? And do you think your degree prepares you for the preliminary licensure exam or does that require extra studying on your part?

your loking amizing👍
