Welcome to The Psychology Spot

Hello there! My name is Kate and I am currently a college student at Iowa State University pursuing my undergraduate degree in psychology and child, family, and adult services. I'm really excited about everything the future holds!! Some random things about me...my favorite colors are mint green and royal purple. I enjoy watching the Chicago Bulls play. I was born in Texas. I would love to live along the west coast. San Diego is my favorite vacation spot. My favorite meal is mashed potatoes, corn and baked ham. Blueberry Morning is by far, the best breakfast cereal EVER. I really want to get a teddy bear dog (Great Pyrenees, see picture below). And name him Max.

  

I decided to start this blog to reach out and express my opinions and knowledge about different things within the psychology world. I have a lot of personal goals for myself in terms of psychology, which include branding myself as a therapist, pursuing a career in private practice, and eventually opening a practice of my own. I have spent a lot of time researching different options in terms of a career and am deciding between counseling and clinical psychology. We'll see which path I decide on!

Some of my favorite things to do in my spare time are reading, baking, spending time with my boyfriend, Matt, dad, brother, and friends, sudoku, and Pinterest. It's likely that I will post about the books I am reading, or movies I have seen recently. If you have any recommendations please leave them in the comments section below!

Happy Thursday!! 

"Psychology is much bigger than just medicine, or fixing unhealthy things. It's about education, work, marriage - it's even about sports. What I want to do is see psychologists working to help people build strengths in all these domains." - Martin Seligman
