My guest is Ms. Temple Price, doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at Howard University and a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in the State of Maryland. She earned an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University of Louisiana, has served as an Editorial Assistant for the Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, and previously worked as a graduate research assistant at the Center for Traumatic Stress Research in New Orleans.

Ms. Price discusses the various challenges she encountered during her first year of doctoral studies, reflects on the valuable lessons and advice she has received from mentors, and describes the growing pains associated with her work as a pre-licensed clinician. She also highlights the importance of practicing cultural humility, explains how persevering through disappointment can foster growth and resilience, and shares her hopes for the future of the counseling profession.
