The fraud of some of these “therapists” who claim to have doctorates is insane and is becoming a HUGE problem
Hi everyone I am a trained as a research psychologist in behavioral neuroscience. This was an incredibly competitive and long journey. I have decided to start coaching (I also teach undergrad but prefer a flexible schedule w small kids). As I’ve branched into this world I am discovering coaches but also people licensed as therapists fraudulently claiming to be clinical psychologists. This is insane to me. Example of two people. Teralyn Sell and Cali Estes. Has anyone heard of these people and why are they allowed to carry on with these lies? I just emailed Cali Estes and she told me she’s never heard of a free PhD 😂. I’m literally dying because everyone in academia knows that a PhD should be fully funded. Who are these people???!!!
Update: it looks like I have offended the PsyD population and I apologize for that. I am coming from research psychology and I will say that most people I know who do PsyD programs do so knowing that they are making a big financial decision and therefore know that many PhD programs are funded. My point was my shock at hearing someone in the world of psychology in general who has never heard of a free PhD. I have a ton of respect for people who opt into a PsyD knowing that they don’t want academia but I assume many of you were advised on the difference between PhD and PsyD…the cost differences etc.
