Hi everyone! I am in the process of pursuing licensure in the state of California and I have run into a bit of an obstacle.
I was in a postdoctoral fellowship program for the last 9 months and ended up leaving before the projected completion date. It’s a very long and complicated story. Feel free to message me for additional information pertinent to the situation.
My TD signed off on the supervised postdoc hours for licensure. However, the application form asks if “the trainee performed at or above the expected competency level.” The TD stated “no” and provided an addendum with vague information.
I am a bit concerned about this as I have a feeling that the board will reject my application on this basis. It’s upsetting because I know that I am competent as a clinician. The program was just not a good fit for me. I have invested so much time, money, and energy into this arduous process. I would hate for this door to close.
I know that California is arguably among the most difficult states to obtain licensure as a psychologist. What would be a good option for working around this issue?
