Would employers look at online programs differently than in person?

Hi everyone. I want to be either a licensed therapist but ideally i’d love to shoot for the stars and go for clinical psychologist. My concern is not if psychology is right for me. I have a strong passion for this field and this is what i want to do.

I’m living on my own and my parents never had a college fund for me (because they had me very young). So i’ve been working full time at a group home and doing college online.

I just finished my first year online for bemidji state university’s online bachelors program. I know masters is manageable because my mom went to Walden for her degree, but what about PsyD? Would i be looked at different on resumes for being an online student.

Thankfully, my girlfriend is graduating trade school so by the time im going for masters she’ll have a good income off the rip, but cost of living is still so insane, and i do like online college where i can schedule time to do homework around my life, instead of being set with times when im already a broke college student.

Beginner advice?

Hey yall, i’ve been doing a lot of research on cerebolysin but i like talking to people who actually dose this. I think mentioning my reasons for taking it would help too.

My brain is a mess lmao. I have ADHD and autism. And after my experience with cancer at 15 and an abusive father i developed GAD, depression, and CPTSD. My pregabalin i take for nerve damage from chemo slows me down a bit, and i’ve had multiple concussions from football in HS. I’m trying to push myself to a PsyD and become a clinical psychologist. I have a strong passion for the field and it’s my dream job. So i have a lot of reasons to try it After researching on this peptide it seems like this would be my safest choice because it doesn’t interact.

I saw that one post about the guy dying which i think is BS but given i already have severe and chronic neuropathy from chemo that definitely worries me. I’m just wondering about any beginner advice, because i plan on buying it. Excited to hear the answers!

Edit: I take vyvanse for ADHD, pregabalin and cymbalta for nerve pain, wellbutrin for depression but i’m weening off, and buspar for anxiety

Hi yall, first time posting. I’ve done a lot of research on psilocybin for trauma, i have anxiety and depression as well as trauma from an abusive father and cancer as a kid. I’ve tried many different therapies and EMDR with no luck. I’ve done a research paper on psilocybin and neuroplasticity and i think i’m finally ready to address these deep rooted traumas therapy can’t quite dive deep enough for. I have two concerns.

  1. My medications. I’m on cymbalta 30 mg, vyvanse 60 mg, buspar 10 mg 3 times daily, and gabapentin 600 mg 3 times daily. I’m really worried about my meds sending me into a seratonin storm. i think i’m seratonin sensitive because i’ve had horrible experiences on SSRIs.

  2. Bad trips. I see these people go back in time to traumatic memories and find closure, but i’m scared if i try psilocybin im gonna freak the fuck out. I used to take thc edibles and would think about my life and get sent into a full on panic attack just thinking about my past.

My biggest concern is the psych meds, have you guys needed to avoid psilocybin due to meds you’re on? Or does it not matter? If i try it i plan on starting on such a small dose that i barely trip just to stay safe. Any feedback is appreciated! :)

(21M). Have gone through a lot of medical and family trauma. I tried EMDR but these memories are so deeply suppressed over years that i couldn’t even remember enough for it to be effective. I have a lot of nightmares and avoidant behaviors. My psychologist said she would write me a referral to a local place but I’m worried about bills
