Hi guys!

I'm currently pursuing my bachelor's in Psychology. I'm just wondering about whether my previous and ongoing experience would either help, hinder, or do nothing about my chances of getting into a grad program (masters) for marriage and family therapy.

My experience once I graduate:
-learning community liaison for 1 year (mentored incoming freshmen about adjusting to college life and informing about university resources)
-4 month internship with my university's health promotion office
-will continue working for the health promotion office for the next year
-PACE advisor in my honor society (pathway to academic and career excellence) for 1 year

My concerns: obviously counseling and facilitation of group therapy would be great but is mentoring not seen as helpful in some tiny way?

Hello Lamvivian11: I don't know the answer to your question. Certainly, it seems to me, any experience working with people in a nurturing way can't help but be beneficial when seeking admission to a graduate program in marriage & family therapy. But to what extent, I'm not qualified to say. However I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.
