Master of Education in Counselling Psychology (CP), Class of 2020

What are some words of wisdom you would give to a new or incoming student in your program?
The apprehensions we hold should make us vigilant and prudent, but not intimidated or inhibited to act. We must celebrate our achievements but also allow failure to act as a measure of how we face challenges and define our spirit to succeed.

What next?
I received my licensure as a Registered Psychotherapist (Q) and will continue to work at Romero Psychotherapy, now as a partner. While continuing to practice, I will also be applying to PhD programs for enrolment in 2021.

Why OISE?
Accredited by the CRPO and rated as one of the finest and most competitive graduate programs for counselling psychology, deciding where I wished to complete my degree was simple. Theoretical insight and practical application in the clinic provided the opportunity to deploy knowledge and acquire the experience I needed to serve my clients.
