S3E6: How I Became A Therapist With Dr. Therese Mascardo

The New School Podcast with Christine Hong

When Dr. Therese Mascardo was little, she wanted to be a doctor, or failing that, the first female president. Well, neither of those goals worked out exactly, but it’s safe to say that Therese has definitely found her calling. Once she realized psychology was a thing — and that she could talk to people for a living — there was no turning back. In this brilliant conversation, Therese breaks down exactly how to become a licensed clinical psychologist, the qualities that make for an excellent therapist, and why self-care is crucial. Therese is a real pioneer: she was doing online therapy long before anyone else, and she built her Instagram following at a time when hardly any mental health professionals were on social. She shares how she learned to face the fear of being on the cutting edge, and trust her intuition.
