My area of specialization as of now is a MS in Clinical Psychology with a dual specialization in clinical counseling and applied research. I will also be doing my PSYD In Neuropsychology. I choose this because one day I plan to open a TBI PTSD center one day and I am doing applied research because it has transferable credits.
