I am currently completing my masters in Psychology & Counselling at Yorkville University. l have a passion for helping individuals, especially those who are struggling with distress. I believe it's important to create therapeutic relationships with clients who are going through difficulties. One positive relationship with a client can make a significant impact on their life. My commitment to empathy and compassion is essential in creating a safe space for those who are seeking therapeutic sessions. In my free time, I practice mindfulness by reading, cooking, working out, taking my dog for walks, and enjoying nature. I also love gardening and travelling!

Questions:

• Are there any expected payments associated with the practicum? If so, how much?

• I need to obtain insurance before starting. Would it be possible to receive assistance in ensuring the paperwork is completed correctly?

• Some of my peers have had their practicum placements change for September. I wanted to check if there’s anything I need to do to secure my spot, or if my placement is confirmed? 

If there is any other important information that I should know feel free to let me know!
