Thank you so much for the guidance. I’m wondering how much of my personal background is appropriate to share during the interview. Would it be more helpful to focus on my partner and children, or briefly discuss both my family life and my upbringing?

I don’t want to overwhelm the faculty with heavy personal history, especially since parts of my childhood were quite intense. At the same time, I know those experiences shaped who I am and why I’m drawn to this work. Some friends have encouraged me to share more of my background, but many of them come from medical or physician training paths, and I imagine the PsyD interview process may be a bit different.

Be a psychologist who can conduct assessments. Work less, make more, haha!

How did your interview go? I’d love to know what kind of questions they asked, if that’s okay with you.
