I don't mean to jump in and hijack someone's post, but I had a question, and you all seem to have a lot of knowledge about this topic.
I have been seeing my T at my college counseling center for about 2 years, give or take. When I first started seeing her, she had a master's degree and had the title of "predoctoral psychology intern" She was on maternity leave for a few months, so I assume that put her behind a little, because she still had that title last year. Now she has a PsyD and is a "postdoctoral psychology resident". What does this all mean exactly? And how much longer would she have as a "postdoctroal psychology resident"? I guess I'm also asking if she is finished after this year (i.e. will this be my last year with her?). I don't know if this matters, but I think she is in her early 30's (33 or 34).
She actually mentioned this week that she has "another office"....I did a little googling, and I didn't find a website, but I found a yellowpages-type listing that says she works in a practice as a psychotherapist (with a master's) along with a psychologist. I had seen this ad last year, and I just assumed it was an old listing. I called the number after hours, and now I'm pretty sure it's her.
Just to clarify, I'm not questioning her abilities-- she's an amazing therapist-- I'm really just curious about what this all means.
Thanks for any insight you can give me, and sorry again for just jumping in.
