Session 306: Becoming A Therapist, Part II

Published: May 10, 2023, 7 a.m.

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

\n

We\u2019ve had dozens of therapists on the podcast sharing their perspectives on various topics, from friendships to mediation and even horror movies. But have you ever wondered what it takes to become a licensed therapist?\xa0Well, the road isn\u2019t paved in gold\u2026more like a few years of school and thousands of hours of supervised practice. But don\u2019t fret; this second installment of our Becoming A Therapist series is for our community members who are therapists, sisters looking to enter the field, and everyone in between.\xa0

\n

Joining me today are psychologists Dr. Kimberly Applewhite, based in Utah, and Dr. D\u2019Andria Jackson based in Ohio.\xa0 My colleagues and I got candid about our journeys and talked all things personal development, business administration, insurance paneling, and more.\xa0
