3. Becoming a Psychologist Pt.3

In today’s episode of ‘Licensed Psychologist, Now, What? I take you on a little journey from the time I started my predoctoral internship in Los Angeles, California to when I went full-time in my private practice a few years ago.

At the beginning of this process, I went through big, significant changes in my life, like moving to Los Angeles, CA after having lived my whole life in the sheltered life of the island to a city like LA.

At this time I started dealing with feelings of ‘less-of’ as I was struggling with the language barrier, not having a clear racial/ethnic identity, and numerous situations that I experienced during these years.

The transition from being a full-time student to a full time-intern, to doing my dissertation long-distance, to completing my Post-Doctoral, to full-time employee started to take a toll on my health. The pressure and some of the feedback that I received were less than ideal, but this is when I anchored on the negative energy to help fuel the power within me. As a result, I was able to pass the boards and become a Licensed Psychologist.

My husband and I briefly moved back to Puerto Rico but eventually came back to LA where I finalized my licensing process for Puerto Rico and then in California. After some frustrating job situations, I found myself setting the path to my private practice and took the leap! Tune in next week to listen to the final part of my story of how I became a Licensed Psychologist and the development of my private practice until today.
