Life as a Clinical Psychology PhD Student

[@Tonyia_Healthcare]

I'm glad I came across your channel. Because I start my clinical psychology class this month. Excited but nervous.

I am a grad student in my masters of science in clinical mental health and counseling with an emphasis in childhood and adolescence and would like to go for my PhD. Great video

Hii, How long is your program? Are you already a licensed counselor?

[@DanikaCharlesPhD]

Hi! My program takes 5-6 years to complete. I am not a licensed counselor, though I did receive a Master's degree in clinical psychology. I just did not sit for the exam. I am doing clinical work as a practicum student under the supervision of a licensed clinical psychologist.

@@DanikaCharlesPhD Do you study mathematics in psychology and is the mathematics that you study in the year of psychology deep and difficult?

[@DanikaCharlesPhD]

@@FatiFati-ig7es we study statistics. My program had two semesters of statistics alongside research methodology since they go hand in hand. This is typically the course that does trip people up. At the same time, there are plenty of resources for support like your professor being open to extra support, friends, textbooks, TH-cam videos, etc.

Hi how do I support myself financially during the program ? I was told not to work

[@DanikaCharlesPhD]

Ooo great question. I could talk about this in a Q&A!
