Current Counseling Psychology Cohorts

Messages from the 2024 Cohort

Introducing… The Twenty-FourCast!

We’re a multi-talented crew doing our best to make meaning out of this beautiful, wild grad school journey. Between neverending deadlines, clinical work, research hustle, and the infamous group chat (our unofficial lifeline), we’re learning how to hold space for our clients, for our communities, and for each other. It’s not always easy (especially when your to-do list is longer than your sleep log), but we show up with care, with purpose, and with the kind of quiet support that reminds you you’re not alone.

Claire lives for running, reading, and music. She’s also going on her third year of being a boxing instructor. 

You’d be likely to find Dannie hanging out with their cat, attending a concert, or searching record stores for a new vinyl to add to their collection, usually with an iced coffee or energy drink in hand.

If Gavin is not on campus then he is with his wife and/or puppy. Golfing and yard games are his idea of a good time.

Hunter loves coaching youth soccer, being around friends, and being disappointed every weekend by being an Arsenal fan

Jacqui can often be found at a rock concert, weightlifting, re-watching her favorite childhood novelas, and cooking new food recipes! She also enjoys collecting vinyls and exploring the city!

If Lily’s not on campus, she’s probably on a night drive or a quiet walk, overthinking something. Otherwise, she’s likely thrifting old books she promises to read or sipping her famous chai latte somewhere cozy.

Raven finds joy in romanticizing the little things like slow mornings, fresh flowers, and cuddle time with her husband and kids. She loves all things pink, pretty, and peaceful, and spends her time cooking, gardening, reading, crocheting (and knitting!), and dreaming up cozy corners and faraway travels, always with a cute drinky drink in hand.

Sreoshi’s perfect day includes shopping for a plant she promises will be her last and sneaking in some late-night baking when she needs a break. You’ll often find her dreaming about her next travel destination, with a book in one hand, a boba in the other, and definitely a Bollywood soundtrack playing in the background.

Syd can often be seen sipping a matcha, watching a baseball game (chasing her dream of visiting all 30 MLB ballparks), reading a book, or trying to PR in the NYT mini crossword.

Welcome to the Invincible 9—The New First Years on the Block changing the game!! We are so excited to be a part of the Counseling Psychology family!

As Cohort “23”, we believe in constantly shooting our shot and landing slam dunks in everything we do!!! (get it...because we are the Jordan year—like Michael Jordan??...oh forget it). Some may say our levels towards achievement and success may be a bit out there (a bit crazy if we dare add), but we believe that we are just really passionate students who want to further the growth of counseling psychology—creating new waves in the field and challenging status quo’s.

It is not only our passion that drives us but our care and admiration for one another. We are the cohort that sticks together through thick and thin. From long days of studying together—having zoom Kahoot meetings on Sunday for good ole

Dr.  Wang’s Foundation’s Course—to going out for drinks, axe throwing, and graciously trashing one of our lovely member’s house in the name of hosting wonderful parties for the student body, we take time to bond with each other, check in on each other, and most importantly, support one another. We created a family in a space distant from our own existing families.

But enough of the sappy talk! Here are some fun facts about us:

Our Music Taste: Rnb, Hip Hop, Pop, Indie Pop, Country

One thing we can’t live without: Romance books, Torchy’s, Sports, Buffalo Wild Wings BOGO, Iced coffee & Music, Jupiter House, deep conversations, and good friends:)

Favorite Colors: Blue, Purple, Green, Pink, Yellow

Our jobs if we weren’t future Counseling Psychologists: Veterinarian/Pianist, Actor, Strength & Conditioning Coach, DJ, Physical Therapist, Pop Star, Technical Writer, Interior Designer, Singer/Astrologer

Dream Travel Destination: Bahamas, Australia, Greece, London, Africa, Fiji, Japan (!!), Maldives, Outer Space(?)

Phrase to Describe Cohort: Living the dream and you all are just in it ;)

Hey! We don't know about you, but we're cohort "22"!

(credit to Taylor Swift's 2012 song,"22")

We are overjoyed to be a part of the Counseling Psych family. The first time our cohort met was on August 17th, 2022, in room 121. One of the days during orientation week, we ate lunch at the picnic tables outside Terrill Hall. Ever since that day, we immediately connected and have been inseparable since then. From Canada to Australia, our cohort is from all over the world. We are proudly diverse from all identities and backgrounds. We love to hang out whether it's at a local coffee shop or bar. For the next 5 to 6 years, we look forward to our journey together in becoming counseling psychologists. To give you an idea of who we are, here are some random facts about us below:

For eleven years, Jessica competed as an acrobatic gymnast. As part of her self care routine, Jessica participates in "solo karaoke".

Bri played Division I softball and enjoys cooking/baking in her spare time.

Issy played Division 1 college tennis & has visited over 20 countries!

Jacob loves cooking and baking almost as much as he loves eating it. He enjoys spending as much time as he can outside.

Quanisha is a certified yoga instructor. She can often be found relaxing near a lit candle listening to neo soul with cookies in the oven because she's a stress baker.

Olivia knows how to make maple syrup and does so with her family up in Canada.

Anna's Croc collection contains the whole rainbow so she can always match her shoes to her outfits. She is also scuba certified.

Besides Tiffany's love for psychology, she also has a love for art and flowers. Her happy places are art museums, botanic gardens, and attending performances of any kind, particularly musicals and ballets.
