Good experience in Psychology
March 10, 2022by: Jacob Gerber - United StatesProgram: Psychology & Social Work Placements in Oaxaca, MexicoI entered this program to learn about what being a psychologist is like. Understandably, this is a difficult task, due to the confidential nature of the work. Despite this, through Adelante, I was able to spend time with two psychologists in Oaxaca learning from them, shadowing their sessions, and even conducting my own therapy sessions. I would recommend adelante as they work diligently to ensure you have a positive and impactful experience. I did not feel I had a major impact doing the work, but this was less due to Adelante and more due to the nature of the work. If you are like me and are thinking of pursuing a career related to counseling, I would recommend this program. I know I would not have been able to have this experience in the US. If you have any further questions about my experience, feel free to reach out at [email protected]. A more in depth review of my experience with Adelante can be found here: https://www.goabroad.com/providers/adelante-abroad/programs/internships-oaxaca-mexico-169229.
