I think of Fielding so often, and give abundant thanks for its exceptional faculty and its extraordinary and original concept of graduate education. I just loved the atmosphere of warmth and respect that so characterized my experience at Fielding. The staff, faculty and my mentors were easily approachable, and always helpful and I would go away from my meetings with them feeling both encouraged and challenged. I completed the Fielding Graduate University psychology program in 1997. Since that time, I have met the post-doctoral requirements; passed both the written and oral tests in my state and became a licensed clinical psychologist. I have also co-authored two books, several articles, and recently been offered a contract on a third book. My practice has expanded so much that almost every week I turn down referrals. This is the least "distant" education I have participated in. I never imagined I would develop the relationships I have with faculty, other students and staff. The work is challenging—the flexibility and support inherent in the program make all the difference in the world. And I love meeting and working with people from all over the country. The Fielding community provided me the intellectual challenge and emotional support I needed… I have felt empowered, as a Fielding student, to create the learning I needed, chose the faculty from whom I could best learn, and create my support network. In short, the Fielding School of Psychology is a unique and wonderful place, with its outstanding faculty and students, its respect for mid-career student learners, and its rigorous and creative curriculum and structure. One of the great advantages of Fielding is the national/international community of faculty and students. This has provided me with the exposure to diverse perspectives, rich dialogue, and even richer learning. I have access to a wide network of contacts that I can call on for assistance throughout my career. Fielding has afforded me the opportunity to achieve a lifetime goal, acquiring a doctoral degree. As a mid career professional I had given up on this dream until I discovered Fielding. Most of all I appreciate the contemporary, challenging academic environment that's equally invested in helping students develop as human being. At Fielding I came to understand that any learning that means anything is multi-directional. I owe my students and my colleagues gratitude beyond measure for all they have taught me. The breadth and depth of my intellectual growth at Fielding exceeds what I've experienced in any other academy.
