Completing your educational journey without a break — from undergrad to earning a doctoral degree — is no easy feat. And it’s not uncommon to find that these candidates often have specific ideas on what they would have done differently after spending time working in their field and getting some distance from their studies. Such is the case with today’s guest, Dr. Ayanna Abrams, a licensed clinical psychologist, Founder of Ascension Behavioral Health, and Co-Founder of NotSoStrong, a platform that aims to improve the mental health and relational functioning of Black women. We talked with Dr. Abrams about completing her Psy.D, why she chose it over a Ph.D., and the difference between the two. She then reflects on what she might have done differently during her studies, like possibly choosing a different degree and what she could have done to avoid predatory student loans. We discuss how academic degrees rarely prepare students for the business side of their specialty, and why this is particularly harmful to those pursuing a Psy.D, specifically geared toward serving your community through therapy. We also spend some time exploring her fascinating dissertation topic, the research she conducted for it, and how she would approach it differently today. Dr. Abrams closes off by sharing her advice for students on how to find safety within overwhelmingly white institutions and why prioritizing your mental health during your studies is vital. To learn more about Dr. Abrams and her journey, be sure to tune in today!
