Bro, you speak with clarity. I'm now watching all the videos in your channel from the beginning. Thank you for this 🖤

Yo bro,  
you had some good points. Psyd for me fits my scope. Everyone has their own opinion on what they prefer.

Could you do a video about how a Master’s in Counseling before a PhD/PsyD in Clinical Psych might improve/not improve one’s chances of getting into a doctoral program?

[delfinaogando]

Love that you graduated from IU too! Thank you so much for this video, it's been such a big help!

[farahjerome]

Hi! Thanks so much for this incredible analysis. I am coming from an Applied Behavior Analytic background and I’m trying to decide which path to follow. I’d like to continue working with the IDD population. I’d like to gain as much knowledge as possible; the more I know, the better I serve and maximize the benefits of my clients. How did you decide which path to take?

[anaseiler]

This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you!

I did masters in counselling and have an undergrad in psychology, and is currently a licensed counsellor, but planning to apply to a neuropsychology program, what recommendations could you give to someone like me to improve my chances of getting accepted into a neuropsychology program? (become a research assistant etc.?)

[Elcocorococ]

Im doing my masters in Counseling Psychology, course load looks extremely similar to the course load sample you showed of clinical psychology. Do you think it might be beneficial for me to get an elective in advanced psychopathology?

[luluthedoberman]

Pretty good explanation, thanks!
I'm from a non-psych background, could you do one on people bridging from a non-psych undergrad going either the counselling or clinical route?

And could you do a visual flow chart or tree diagram that showcases different branches for each of counselling or clinical routes, ex. what leads to various specialties like neuroscience, health psych, addictions, ptsd, etc?

For someone who wants to specialize in psychedelic-assisted therapy, which degree would you recommend pursuing?

[chelababy]

If I want to become a clinical psychologist (I want a close relationship w/ patients & to be able to do assessments & diagnose especially in autism & neurodivergence).. would it make more sense to get an MS in Psychology or an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (maybe with emphasis on MFT) if my ultimate goal is to get PsyD or PhD?

[larasunshine]

Hey :) thanks for that video! Do you know what would be the best path for a masters degree if you want to become a psychotherapist? I hear different things about clinical mental health counseling, marriage and family Therapie and clinical social worker. What are the main differences and what would be the best path? Maybe you know more about that and could help me with that!

I’m graduating with a Masters in Counseling and obtaining my LPC however I have been thinking about going into counseling psychology. Am I able to work full time as an LPC while going through a doctoral counseling psychology program?

[maishesham]

Thank you for this great explanation ! I just have a quick question please, does MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling means Both Clinical & Counseling psychology ? I would like to become a clinical psychologist, so do you recommend this program to me ? I will appreciate your help.

Hey, I am interested in forensic psychology. I have my BS in Criminal Justice and would love to work in the jails, prisons, detention centers, the courts, and maybe even schools. Would you go with a masters in forensic mental health counseling or straight to PHD forensic psychology?

[farahjerome]

Hi, how is the math in clinical psychology? Not crazy about math, I don't want that to hender me. Are their a lot of math involved?
