How I Became a Psychologist

Let's talk about how to become a psychologist! There are some people out there who knew from a very young age that they wanted to become a psychologist. I didn't have a plan and took it one step at a time. If this is you, this video might be helpful!

Of course, everyone will have a different journey but there are key milestones that are simliar across the board, such as practicum and internship experiences. I talk about the GRE, EPPP, internship match day, post-doctoral fellowship, and working at the VA and in private practice.

This video covers APA-accredited clinical psychology programs* Non-accredited programs may be different, and usually warrant a little more work for licensure.
