I loved all of your content, Darrien! I just got accepted into a clinical mental health counseling program and I have a few questions for you! I am wondering what the workload looks like for a masters program? Like are there a lot of tests or is it mostly papers and discussion posts? Thanks for making great content, you’ve helped me a ton :)
Hi Natalie, that makes me so happy to hear! Your question is a tough one, as every program tends to be a little different/have their own way of doing things. I'd love to be able to talk more in depth with you about what grad school looks like and answer your specific questions. If you're interested, you can make a Zoom appointment with me through this website: calendly.com/darriancorey Thanks so much for watching and congrats on your acceptance! :)

I have got 2.7 C gpa in 6th smster and two smster remaining. Kindly suggest me what should i go. I love clinical psychology. But i m too depressed with my acadamic
If you have a love for clinical psychology, go for it. As far as your academics, I would say your best bet at getting into a graduate program is to do your best with your remaining two semesters, and seek additional research and/or clinical opportunities related to clinical psych, such as an internship. I know people personally who failed out of undergrad, but are successful graduate students today. If you have a lower GPA, yet have other clinical experiences that you performed strongly in and can showcase your passion and potential for the field, this can go a long way in convincing the graduate school admissions committee to still offer you admission and have confidence in you to be a successful grad student and future clinician.
Hi there! I will say that the textbook that my professor for Counseling Theories used was fantastic for this. It was called "Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy" by Gerald Corey (I'm not related!) It follows the same fictional client throughout, and gives examples of what a session would look like with the client using each theory/different techniques from each theory. It wasn't like the dry, typical textbook - Very interesting read that I think back on often.
Yes, but not a typical type of book that you would read cover to cover. It stands for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th Edition, and is used in the counseling and psychiatry worlds to make accurate mental health diagnoses. It essentially lists all of the mental health disorders by category, their symptoms and diagnostic criteria, and other info such as risk factors. There is a full version, and then there is the Desk Reference (shortened version that just lists diagnostic criteria) which I show in this video. I currently work as a Clinical Therapist for an agency, and find that the Desk Reference version works just fine for me personally! It can be a huge help when doing new intakes, to make sure I'm making the most accurate diagnosis possible.
классное видео, кстати, у меня на канале также есть большая подборка крутых книг, о которых вы кратко можете послушать и решить стоит ли ее читать полностью или нет. Переходите, буду рад подписке.
