Rio Grande Valley? Heyy holaa I'm in Southern New Mexico (LC)! I lovvvve this video! I'm going into my 1st practicum interview tomorrow at the age of 62....😊 I'm so nervous but mostly in a good way.
Thanks for this awesome video!🤍🤍🤍

Thank you so much for this video. I'm taking notes. The part you talked about realizing your worth and that you needed to be in a place where you will grow using your skills, not begging, touched me. I needed to hear those words💜 Muchas gracias Deya!

Im listening to this as I drive to my 1st day of practicum! This is so insightful thank you for making these videos— It’s really easing mis nervios

I got my bachelors in anthropology and Chinese in 2020 and have been strongly considering grad school for mental health counseling. I haven't done any work in the mental health field yet but applying for jobs at settlement houses and other nonprofit organizations to try to get my foot in the door. Thanks for this video, it was super helpful!

I just found your channel today and have binged almost all of them! You provide so many helpful tips and are so genuine and helpful!!! I’m currently a senior in my bachelors for psychology but long term would love to own my own private practice. I’m looking into masters programs now, so any type of advice or help you can provide on masters programs would be appreciated. So happy to have come across your account :)

[surgushr]

this is so helpful, thank you. I just started my practicum and saw my first client yesterday. feeling a lot of inadequacy and unsure of myself! it's great being able to hear about other people's experiences.

You are such a blessing! I’m in my first semester of internship and boy has it been challenging but your words of encouragement have been so validating 💛

Found your channel and I’m not sure if you’re from the valley but I saw in one of your vids that you mentioned you went to UTRGV. I’m originally from Pharr/San Juan so it’s really great to have advice from someone who I feel emulates a lot of my experiences ❤️ very much love your videos and the advice you give hoping I can move through my journey smoothly

[beverlysurber]

You have helped me so much. Thank you ❤️

[kristinaasimova]

Hi ! Just found your channel and love your content. I’m about to go into a graduate program for either an LMfT and LPCC. I’m leaning towards LPCC but not sure yet. I’m nervous about my practicum placement and life balance for grad school, but you give me so much hope and inspiration. Thank you!

I’m thinking of starting a vlog too about grad school experience—did you have to notify your school or work sites about filming for a YouTube channel? Of course with confidentiality in mind. :) thank you for sharing your experience.

[sabrinavillarreal]

can you do a video on the interview questions for grad school? so nervous. also was it competitive for you/low acceptance rate?

[CurvyNerd]

Tysm for all your advice. I’m in my 3rd semester. You talk about a main channel but don’t link it. Ty again for all the information.

[tayb]

I just started an advanced certificate in mental health counseling. And I'm looking for internships now.

[albreannajenkins]

Hey! I'm currently in grad school for Mental Health Counseling. How did you take notes during your program? Were you a hand note person or were you a digital note person when it came to retaining and remembering content. How did you do it?

[louisdebeer]

Hi =) have you come across any foreigners registering as LPC in Texas ?

[jenniferbagwell]

You hv no....idea what this video means to me today

[MaiaBaybee]

Love this video and it is very helpful as a first year CMHC grad school. I wanted to follow your IG. Did you deactivate it? I searched the handle but I can't find it.
