Before this, I wasn’t even sure what Community Psychology was exactly. However, after many months of researching this branch of Psychology, including the impressive department at Georgia State University, I came to the realization that Community Psychology is what I have been practicing this entire time. The Clinical/Community tract is the perfect fit as it allows me to continue my training as both a therapist and an advocate. I am excited about obtaining a degree that allows be to work at the individual level, as well as addressing the system as a

I chose to research a career in Health Psychology, focusing somewhat on clinical work. I chose this career path in particular because of my major and emphasis in Health Psychology; I wanted to know what the opportunities, benefits, and requirements were for pursuing this specific field within psychology. I was made aware of this option as a major emphasis during my first semester at BYU-Idaho, and I knew at that point that I wanted to go on to doctoral studies and possibly medical school, so I switched from a General Psychology emphasis to Health Psychology. I also wanted to know if there were specializations under Health Psychology that would fit with my personal interest in addiction recovery.

The primary focus of this subfield is learning about many different types of disorders such as behavioral and emotional. Clinical Psychology is very interesting to me because there are many disorders that we might not know about. Of course we know about the most common ones like ADHD and OCD, but what about the ones that aren’t being mentioned? I think this subfield not only will help me understand how to diagnose a disorder, but it will help me understand the numerous disorders that affect many individuals. Being a Clinical Psychologist has always been one of my top career options. I really enjoy helping others, and this career can give me the opportunity to help individuals by treating the disorders affecting their lives. Some courses that

As I graduate from Concordia University with a double major in psychology and behavioral science, I have many career and educational paths to pursue. One career goal in the forefront of my mind is a clinical psychologist. I have an interest in this career field because I have a strong interest in the diagnosis and treatment of severe mental illness. In order to be able to do such things in my future, further education is needed. Thus, postgraduate education is a strong interest of mine.

Acceptance into Baylor University’s Clinical Psychology Program will provide me with coveted academic and professional experiences, further equipping me with the knowledge and skills needed to attain my professional goals of working as a clinical psychologist and educator once I successfully complete Baylor’s Clinical Psychology Program.

I have always been fascinated with the human mind and by its influence over the body. I want to go into the medical field and I feel like that in order to help people to recover from physical trauma, I must also be well versed in how the body impacts the mind and vice versa. Every time the body is damaged their is a psychological response and every time there is psychological trauma their is a physiological response. I chose psychology in order to understand this connection between the mind and the body, which could increase my chances of helping

I started my undergraduate education interesting in studying human behavior, how it impacts decision-making, and vice versa. I pursued a political science degree with an international relations concentration because I was also interested in how to solve conflicts on an international scale. I double majored in social policy & practice because I wanted to approach problems from a policy standpoint, with the goal of creating large-scale solutions. However, during the course of my studies, two experiences shifted my focus away from human emotions, behavior and problems in the political and policy arena toward clinical psychology.
