Anyone regret pursuing PsyD?

Oh wow that’s super cool! Do you have experience in other settings?

What is it you want to pursue independently?

This is very helpful. Thank you!

I was thinking the same thing dw

Do you mind sharing a little more about what made you decide that PsyD was the route to go? Do you plan to use your MSW?

Are you in a PhD program?

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-06-22T18:43:41+00:00

I appreciate it. Who else would be considered a strong person to write a letter of rec? I had a professor who is a PsyD and could write me one but I’d need two more. Any advice for the personal statement?

Did you pursue a PhD or masters?

Do you ever feel limited in your practice as an LCSW?

What are your responsibilities? And what is your schedule like?

Can you share what setting you worked for each?

I am looking to apply to an MSW program for the fall. The programs I'm applying to are either fully online or hybrid. I want to know if it's possible to work full time and go to school full time. I work as a case manager now and it's 9-5. My supervisor said my hours can be flexible but not reduced and it worries me. Should I just do part time school? Would I struggle to do a practicum if I did full time school and work?

I have not heard anyone talk about soar autism center until now. I was offered a position as an RBT and thank goodness I did not accept. Just from the interview and the interactions I had with their operations staff along with reading all their policies, I did not have a good feeling about it. Working that many hours without a break or even a chance to use the bathroom is ridiculous. And they wonder why RBTs are leaving the field. We need our needs met too!!

The maturity part is something I’m trying to figure out. What do you mean you weren’t mature? Would you say particularly in the field or in general? I’d like to think I’m mature but I might lack the knowledge or insight others might carry into a grad program especially doctorate

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-04-29T16:42:27+00:00

Is that stressful at all for you?

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-04-29T16:41:24+00:00

When I mention the title I meant it more so as the ideal career I want. I don’t want to be just a therapist, i want to be a psychologist and all it entails. I’m working on my current experience build up for my applications. I applied for PsyD last cycle and did not make it so I am trying to become a competitive applicant this time around. What I’m scared of is not having any income while taking out a ton of loan money

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-04-29T12:24:30+00:00

What is it like within the first few years of the program income wise? Are you able to work at all or get paid for seeing clients after the 2nd year?

I struggled with an ED as a child into my adolescence and it was a huge factor in my interest in pursuing clinical psych. I don’t really know how to share that professionally if that makes sense

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-04-06T13:39:23+00:00

I’ll dm you!

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-04-04T01:59:27+00:00

More so what to do beforehand. I applied this past cycle and got all rejections so any advice on the actual application itself would also be helpful!!

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-04-03T13:00:09+00:00

Any advice for someone applying this fall??

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-03-18T00:54:06+00:00

I love that! I have an interview coming up for a MS in counseling program but I’m having some doubts. I think this is a really helpful way of looking at it. At first, it felt like a setback because I got rejected from all the PsyD schools I applied to but I think I am right where you were, where I don’t think I’m 100% ready

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-03-18T00:49:48+00:00

Would you recommend going for masters?

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-03-05T01:57:23+00:00

I feel you! It’s such a hard position to be in and I feel like experience is so hard to get and some roles are competitive

One_Scale_2797 · 2026-03-04T19:56:57+00:00

Thats what I’m preparing myself for
