Specific, honest guidance for your Psy.D. application
Welcome to PsyD Tea!
The PsyD application process can feel confusing and overwhelming (I know because I just went through it)! Most of the resources online were from people who have never applied to Psy.D. programs themselves or from large admissions companies that could not provide Psy.D.-specific application advice.
I was admitted to multiple top Psy.D. programs, and I started Psy.D. Tea to give you the inside scoop. My goal is to provide you the most honest, comprehensive information out there to save you time, money, and stress.
If you are planning to apply to Psy.D. programs and want realistic, personalized guidance, I’d love to help!

Hi, I’m Jodie!
About Me
I’m a matcha lover, a corgi enthusiast, and a psychology nerd. I am also an incoming Psy.D. student at the PAU–Stanford Psy.D. Consortium, a clinical psychology training program run in collaboration with Stanford Medicine.
I graduated summa cum laude from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.S. in Psychology, and went on to work in clinical psychology research labs at Yale University and University of California, Berkeley.
In the 2026 cycle, I applied to four PsyD programs and was admitted to all four, including the PAU–Stanford Psy.D. Consortium. I was also awarded a merit scholarship from the University of Denver.
Why I started PsyD Tea
When I went through the PsyD application process, I was surprised by how few resources were actually tailored to PsyD applicants. I remember applying to colleges and having access to endless resources. But this time, I found myself struggling to figure out which programs were reputable, what actually mattered in an application, and how to frame my experiences properly.
A lot of information I came across was either geared towards PhD students, overly generic, or unnecessarily discouraging. I also spent one too many nights going down Reddit and YouTube rabbit holes that left me more confused than when I started.
I wanted someone to take the guesswork out of the process, so I created PsyD Tea to spill what I wish I knew as an applicant.
