My Perspective on Clinical Training
Learning to do psychotherapy well is a lifelong journey. This journey is wonderful, challenging, rewarding, stressful, meaningful; all of these things and more. When I think about my own path thus far, my training has directly enhanced my awareness of how I think about the world, handle and express my emotions, make others feel when I interact with them, and view myself and others as cultural beings. I believe that this enhanced awareness has made me a better therapist and a better person. This gift that I have received from those who trained me is something I am passionate about “paying forward” to the next generation of counselors and counseling psychologists. If you are an undergraduate or graduate student interested in embarking on (or continuing) a journey like the one I described, I sincerely hope you will consider applying to one of our excellent counseling psychology programs at UK.
