Personal Statement
The field of psychology is an in depth look inside the inner and outer world of the human and animal mind and perception. It is fascinating to dig down deep into the mental processing of the mind. The different subspecialties in Psychology make the broad profession easier to understand what was for so many years unknown; for this reason I want to obtain a higher level of education in the Psychology/Therapy field. The program that is of great interest to me would be the PsyD in Clinical Psychology. My ultimate goal is to obtain this degree with a minor in Marriage and Family Therapy.
The reason that I chose this field of study is because as a young child I have always recognized my ability to actively listen to people as they talk. I am the person that everyone depends on to solve problems and give advice to others on how they may deal with day to day situations. The most important aspect that I poses and believe is important in the field of Psychology is to pay close attention to detail in a person’s non-verbal communication as well as verbal-communication, which would allow one to read between the words and focus more on the message. I would like to help children, adults and their families who have been victims of sexual, physical, and psychological abuse to get through day to day issues that may occur, therefore, allowing them to build a pattern in daily intervention.
My background is in the Allied profession of the medical field. The training that I have obtained has led me to this career path. I have studied in the field of medicine as a Registered Medical Assistant, Patient Care Technician, and a Certified Nursing Assistant. In these levels of the medical field you get to know the clients and patients on a more personal level, therefore, I decided that knowing the patient behind the illness is what I want to know more about. Finding out things about mental and cognitive behaviors, as well as different disorders that many people develop from different traumas and events that takes place in a their lives could ease the pain or cure the illness altogether.
When I first came to Argosy University, after about a few months, I wanted to get a better experience of how it would be to counsel or talk to people in a real crisis other than close relatives. I signed up for a course, offering training with the Suicide and Crisis Intervention program. With this program they teach ordinary people who have a passion for helping others in a crisis; this program uses mostly the Carl Rodgers method of counseling, however, it is done on a phone line. In this course I was able to get the training, talk to actual callers on the suicide and crisis hotline dealing with a crisis and suicide attempts.
I chose Argosy University because I have just recently finished my bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Argosy’s Dallas campus. I have learned a lot in the courses, but the most important thing that I liked, was the caring and earnest dedication of the faculty and staff, the small number of students to a class also allowed one to have a one on one experience with the teachers, and I also like the ability to form close bonds with fellow classmates. Argosy offers both the programs I am interested in; The Clinical Psychology program on both the Master’s and Doctorate levels. Most importantly I would rather stay with a school in which I know that I will get the best education and experience possible.
After obtaining my PsyD in Clinical Psychology, I would like to successfully open a practice, working with children and adults on a spiritual level who have been subjected to sexual and physical abuse. This degree would also allow me to have the opportunity to conduct research studies, plan more efficient methods for treatment, and therapy in individual and group settings.

- Seeking God For Answers
- Lancaster, Texas, United States
- I am a single mother of four beautiful children. I have had my share of weight of the world and decided to make a page just for people who want to be able to talk about everyday situations and get things off of their chest. Many times the thing that we lack the most in life is someone to talk to and show us unconditional compassion. I am a Christian woman, so many topics that are related to helpful hints to overcome are good. I completed my BA Psychology degree in 2010 at Argosy University. I am currently enrolled in Liberty University in the Master of Arts Marriage and Family Therapist. My goal is to become a Psychologist on the Doctoral level which I hope to start by next fall. I have decided to make this site because it is nice to have someone to talk to every once in a while. So weather you need a poem to write or a shoulder to cry on I am here. I am not trying to do some experiment this is me, I really do care.
