There aren’t enough therapists like you and me.
As the stigma around mental health becomes outdated, more people than ever want to try therapy.
There’s only enough therapists to support 60% of those reaching out.
One new therapist can improve 1,000 lives.
In parallel, people working in tech, finance, and law want more mission-driven careers aligned with their values.
Becoming a therapist sounds more appealing than ever.
At pivotal points in my journey towards becoming a therapist, some people tried to redirect my plans towards shinier things, like money & prestige.
Twice, I was discouraged enough to defer my dreams.
Fortunately, other people invested in me, figuratively and literally. They celebrated my strengths, respected my interests, and opened doors for me.
Let this scholarship remind you that people can surprise you.
