Becoming a Therapist
Online Mentorship with Dr. Tejada
“So you’ve decided to become a therapist…now what? There are so many educational paths to choose from, and a great many bumps in the road you’re likely to encounter along the way. If you’re in this position, you couldn’t be in safer hands than with my long-term colleague, Dr. Tejada. She’s been down this path herself, and now she wants to protect others from the kind of pitfalls we wish we’d known about when we were in training!”

Undergraduate Psychology Major
As an undergraduate student preparing for their career path, Dr. Tejada has pushed me
to explore and consider different avenues of psychology I would have never initially given
thought to. Without her knowledge, I would have never known how extensive and flexible the
field of psychology could be.
Additionally, her warm and approachable personality makes it easy
to converse and ask questions without feeling intimidated. I have always felt that Dr. Tejada
has wanted to help me succeed, as she is incredibly genuine and accommodating.
“I've mentored [Dr. Tejada] throughout her time in graduate school. Her personal and professional experiences make her the perfect mentor for students who are looking to start their career in psychology. Her passion for mentoring and her ability to put herself in other's shoes allows her to curate a path tailored specifically to each student.”

“Embarking on the path to becoming a psychologist, I've had the privilege of being guided by the exceptional mentorship of Dr. Tejada. She has a diverse range of experience in the field, from working at different treatment settings and with various populations. She has a solid knowledge base of neuropsychological testing and treatment for anxiety disorders, which has been invaluable for me during my doctorate training.”
-Dr. Melody Hannani
Postdoctoral Fellow
"Even before she achieved the title of doctor, Julia has been an engaging and thoughtful mentor. She was my peer supervisor the very first year I began doing psychotherapy with clients. From the beginning, she created a supportive environment that I could bring all matters to process, whether clinical or personal. She finds a way to bring together her own experiences and professional training to help you navigate your practice and find your own responses and clinical voice."
-Dr. Devin Randle
