If i Was 26, and had my PhD in Clinical Psychology from STANFORD university...Would You WAnt to Be My Patient?

Question

i know 26 is young, but lets say i took a lot of class during the summer, and i even took some during high school along with AP courses
i earned my PhD in Clinical psychology and i am a psychologist (help you with mental and emotional problems)
i graduated from Stanford University...yes the ivy league school
Would you be my patient? or does my age turn you away?

well i'm really smart so i can do that.

WOW i didn't think anyone wasn't aware that STANFORD was Ivy League. Uhh..it was rated top college in the nation. duh...

it is a bad habit

Answer 1

Yes. I would have no problem seeing a psychologist who was 26 years old and would probably be more comfortable with someone closer to my own age than I would be with a 50 year old. (Plus, the way people change careers now a days, it's quite possible that the 50 year old would have less experience than you!)

I would be a little concerned that every time you use the word "I" you put it in lower case. Why do you do that?

Answer 2

Stanford Isn't an Ivy League. Ivy League schools are on the east coast. Harvard, Brown Etc. Stanford is still a top notch school. 26 kinda young. But just the name Stanford Makes you sound very professional and intelligent. Most likely yes but that depends, is there someone older with more experience in the field? Do they have a good reputation? Do they have a degree from a top notch college? If they do i would probably go with them. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Your writing is kind of confusing, but I'm guessing you don't have your PhD yet. Seems like you're forecasting Well, you should talk to other clinical psych's for accurate answers. If I was looking for a shrink, I'd be looking for experience and not where they graduated from. So you graduated from Stanford - big deal. A lot of dumb folks have Ivy degrees (you know what a Legacy is, right?). Experience is what really matters. Don't expect that Ivy degree to do everything for you.

Answer 4

Stanford is not an Ivy League school. The Ivy League only consists of eight schools in the Northeastern US. (Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, and U Penn). I would be turned away by your age because you could not have gotten much field experience. And because you can't capitalize properly.

Answer 5

Congratulations! I think it would be great! I'd like a young, fresh perspective along with academic knowledge. As long as your heart is in it--you can't go wrong. You will gain world experience and different situations from patience as they will learn from you. I think it is more the concern you have for the patients than age that would affect anyone's judgement. Just be real as the problems you help others with...most people want someone to listen with an open mind.....we can say we knew a Dr. lady at Yahoo!

Answer 6

26 seems entirely to young to have a PhD in Clinical Psych.

Answer 7

sure.. I don't really care where you got your degree just want to know that your competent in what you do

Answer 8

your age would put me off at first,but if you showed that you were a competent psycologist then i would be content to be your patient

Answer 9
