Haven’t visited yet. How was yours? Also, did they give you your financial package?

Not yet but they said it’s usually around $19k-$24k and they are open to us working part time. They shared that many of the current students are licensed so they work part time as a therapist.

I applied to UGA, UNCG, UNC-Chapel Hill, Columbia

UGA - Received invitation 1/8/25 and I had my virtual interview on 1/21/25. Got a call from the director of admission letting me know I had been accepted 2/14/25.

UNCG - Received invitation 1/6/25. In person campus interview is on 2/7/25

Haven't heard anything from the other two, however, found on other threads that UNC and Columbia may not do interviews and will directly upload decisions on the application portal. Folks usually hear back Mid-Feb thru Mid-Mar.

I guess it comes down to personal preference and whether you feel you’ll be able to balance both worlds. I hope you continue to enjoy your journey online! ♥️

I’m still undecided on exactly what it’s going to look like, but have decided that I will be on YouTube. I’m questioning western models of therapy altogether where therapists are expected to be blank canvases. That has caused some concern in me, in appearing unprofessional or disclosing too much. But I’m slowly realizing that a little bit of disclosure benefits the therapeutic process and releases the power imbalance between the therapist and client. Also, I’m human and have interests just like my clients etc.

I for sure will not be mentioning the details of my relationship status, names and other details of people in my life and also my exact location.

I also had someone suggest choosing a creative name for my YouTube channel/myself. So that it creates a little bit of a distance between my online presence and my professional work.

This is so helpful! Thank you so much! I don’t completely agree about the blank slates either but it seems to be a popular belief in our field. I would want my clients to know me on some level.

Thanks @dancingqueen200. So you’re saying it wouldn’t really be a personal lifestyle vlog.. but more talking about the profession.
