How do I get started in becoming a clinical psychologist?
I'm planning on getting my BA in psychology, and I've been looking at the different careers in that area. I know that to be a clinical pyschologist it would require 7-8 years of school, and I'd have to get a PsyD. From what I've been reading, it's a competitive career and so is getting into a clinical psychology program, especially at the university I want to study at. I'm wondering what the steps would be to get to clinical psychology: grades, experience, etc. Are there also any other careers similar to clinical psychology that I could go into?

How to navigate the unfamiliar and demanding nature of counseling school age children without falling apart?
Hi there, I am currently completing my second/last internship for my Master's in Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy. My internship last year was with adults with acute and chronic mental illness. This year, I landed a last-minute placement with a nonprofit organization that places graduate Interns in schools. I am placed at an elementary school as a school counselor, however, I have never worked with school-age children in any capacity. I have a brief experience as a preschool assistant and have taken multiple developmental psych classes. The nature of the internship is going to be very hands-off (me doing everything from ground zero) from asking for consent forms to pulling students out of classrooms for a session which is putting me in a vulnerable place. I am not a very assertive individual. How to navigate the unfamiliar and demanding nature of this new experience without falling apart? P.S. I am expected to begin next week. Thank you!

I am feeling a bit hopeless about my academic performance. Who can help me?
I am a junior high school student (coming up in the third year of junior high school). My humanities: failed Chinese, 60 points in social studies, 80 points in English. My science subjects are around 100 points in mathematics (out of 120) and around 85 points in science (out of 100). Hand speed is like a turtle, confidence is like gray, and handwriting is ugly like a curved snake. Standing around 160 meters tall, he was placed in the last row (second in line). Sometimes I think about suicide, but I force myself to hold back. Standing silently on the rooftop alone. I don't have many friends and I'm silent. I don't want to do anything. People who are related by blood to me have not truly understood me. I really don't know what to do. I even registered for baptism, and I feel a little guilty about it.

I want to be a music therapist AND an art therapist AND teach piano and voice in private lessons. How should I go about this for college? At first I was thinking double major in piano and voice for bachelor's and then double major in art and music therapy for master's, however, I realized that music performance is probably not a prerequisite option for art therapy. Perhaps a minor in psychology along with bachelor's plans? Please help.?
