Dr. Arielle Brown, who is a licensed psychologist currently practicing at Louisiana State University's Mental Health Service. She earned her PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and shares with us why she chose the PhD route over a PsyD or a master's degree, how she had the courage to pivot during her doctoral degree to focus more on clinical practice, and how she has redefined what teaching looks like in her professional career.
Hosted by Cohort Sistas founder Dr. Ijeoma Kola, the Cohort Sistas Podcast brings to life the stories, struggles, and successes of Black women with doctoral degrees and their lives beyond the degree.
