The Wright Institute in Berkeley is a great place to receive affordable mental health services…read more It is a private graduate school of psychology specializing in educating clinicians and giving them real world experience before they become professional therapists. These students have done all the course work and need hours in the field of psychology before they get their licenses. I have a therapist I see once a week for part of their semester and it resolves in July. These students are educated and can help you through phase of life challenges. This is my second time receiving counseling and previously I received therapy 10 years ago. They charge on a sliding scale and offer some stability during challenging times. They also offer group therapy sessions and you may drop in whenever your schedule permits and the cost is $15 per session. Although I have not partaken in the group therapy sessions, I have heard many good things about them and considering joining a few. What I like a lot about the Wright Institue is I feel as though the students really try hard and seem to care very much with what you're going through and are very helpful to help you process what your priorities are and what you hope to gain from the therapy sessions. Finding a therapist in the real world is as challenging as finding your partner in life so it can take a while. That's why I feel that the Wright Institute is a great way to get started in therapy. They're located near UC Berkeley campus and the parking can be challenging. But there is affordable metered parking up and down Durant Street and the duration is for 2-4 hours.

I can't give more than two stars for what is, unfortunately without a doubt, the biggest financial…read moreand temporal mistake of my life. But it is not all the WI fault, it is more the field. I'm writing this for the prospective student considering application. Please deeply consider your options. It's what you think you want until you get it, and let me tell you why. When you get out, which is not your whole journey, (you still have post doc work to do), there is not a plethora of opportunities. Again, it's not just the WI- the value of the education is vastly overpriced. If you don't get a job at Kaiser, you will be swallowed by them. Private practice, and the prices you will need to pay back your loan, CEUs, and live in this area, are virtually (figuratively and literally) a thing of the past. It is not possible to compete with the low rates a therapist from Kaiser charges, and the unethical practices (group therapy for individual presenting problems, HIPPA legally thrown out the window, etc) they get away with. Apps like Better Help will have you making just above what a Door Dasher makes as they saturate the field with the most minimum license above dog catcher to populate their therapist offerings. Because of the ethics of the field, you cannot effectively advertise, and getting clients from senior psychologists comes at the price of a referral fee. You're coming into a field that sees us as pawns. I don't agree with other reviews about it being white- centric. When I went applications to internships on them said "People of color STRONGLY encouraged to apply." Mm hm. If you cannot find whatever solace you need dead-center in the most liberal city in the most liberal field in the nation/world, may I recommend applying instead to a kindergarten program. I had some beautiful kind souls that taught me here, and one or two who were not a good fit. But some glaring gaps- it never taught me the DSM, and it didn't prepare me for licensure. I passed, but that was all on me; perhaps that is the final test to see if you are ready, but I would have preferred a smoother bridge to licensure. Please learn from my mistake: I was once you.

They have $5,765 of my money and they are holding it hostage. I am very upset about this. Please don't do it, don't let it happen to you! They cancel the course and they don't even tell you why. Don't trust Edx or 2U.

I would write 0 stars if I could. I was accepted into a…read morepost-graduate program while completing a pre-req at UCBx. I had read some bad reviews, so decided it would make sense to speak with someone in the Science Admin department who might have some insight and reassurances. I reached out and was confidently told the professors for extension classes are professional, responsive, and my experience would be positive and maintain a cohesive extension of the elite reputation UCB has earned over the years. 2 weeks into the course, the professor went dark. This was an online course, so her role was to grade and comment and respond to emails and questions. Pretty light work... which clearly she did not have time for. I had to email the admin to ask them to contact the professor to grade my assignments so i could be sure I was grasping material and producing the level of work I expected of myself. Weeks went by before anything was graded. Despite this, I received short, enthusiastic, and reaffirming messages. At least I was doing work at the standard required for success. This pattern continued and I completed all course work including tests, quizzes, case studies, and essays with a very strong A. It was time to take the final, and it was a mess. Questions were posed regarding non-existent drugs (or drugs so poorly spelled they could not be identified). Other questions were contradictory, or unintelligible. The format was such that you had to click through each page to get to the next question, but the time limit was so limiting that any strategy of working back through the test to answer short answer questions worth more points first was moot. In the end, i finished 42 of 47 questions. Had the 42 points alone been graded I would have received a B. Fine. The last 5 questions however, were worth about 20% of the entire test, but the ridiculous time limit made it impossible to click through 50 pages of questions and explanations, and then click back through unfinished questions. Suddenly, my B became a C. A C grade on the final, as stipulated in the syllabus, will fail you out of the entire class. I immediately emailed the professor after the test requesting a conversation. No response. I waited 24 hours. Emailed her again. No response. I emailed admin. They replied with a generic cut and paste answer as to how to check my grade online. This is educational dysfunction at its finest. I concurrently took another pre-req at UCSDx (scheduling conflicts required I take one at each place). I had a wonderful experience with a responsive professor and walked away with an A. Im a 3.9 student who simply does not randomly fail tests, let alone finals. I have 3 days to provide a deposit and letter of intent to my new program, but cant do so unless i get some assurance I wont be failed from this class because of an absolutely disastrous test strategy and an unresponsive apathetic professor and entire admin department of UCBx. AVOID AT ALL COST.

I enrolled with the San Francisco Institute of Architecture six years ago, for their Bachelor of…read moreScience in Architecture degree. Despite having been practicing as an architect for several years, the whole emphasis of Sustainable Architecture and Construction opened up a whole new world to me. I realised at the outset that their degrees were not accredited, but the knowledge I gained was enormously helpful to me, so much so that after completing my bachelors degree, I went on to do a combined Masters degree in Architecture and Green Building, which I completed at the end of last year. Over the course of my studies there were some issues with getting responses to my assignments, the reason given was that because of the standard of my work, only periodic reviews were necessary. It took a while to get my certificates, but I have both my Bachelors and Masters degree documentation, with certificates and transcripts, so yes, possibly they could be a bit slicker in their response time, but I absolutely believe they are worth studying with - provided you don't need an accredited qualification. The course material is brilliant.

We then moved to Richmond and still attended mass here however we felt we needed to stay in our community. Anyhow here we are i visited today because I was told they have the partial Tridentine Mass. Oh my word!! What a beautiful experience as I've always read and heard stories of the pre Vatican II days. Today I knelt for communion for the first time and accepted the body of Christ in the most solemn way. My husband will be back no doubt!!! Major kudos also to this parish for having a wonderful greeter who hands you the church missal and the option of the church bulletin. Inside the church the pews are completely bare and free of hymnals, papers, etc. The missal made my heart warm as all the readings, hymns, and to top it off, the lovely instruction for receiving the Holy Eucharist was clearly written out. I am not sure why churches everywhere don't do this as many Catholics don't even know they are not supposed to receive communion if they are in the state of any grave sin. I learned years ago that not going to church on Sundays was a grave sin, not to mention a few others. This also helps non-Catholics who are visiting.... Again, thank you STJW the Lord is gleaming I am sure, I know I am! By the way, Father Luhan who is a priest at St. Mary of Magdalene have the most beautiful homily. Just a special day for me with our Lord, thank you STJW! God bless
