About this event

What does it truly mean to call yourself a psychologist? Behind the title lies years of preparation, ethical responsibility, emotional resilience, and the constant pressure to uphold professional standards. In the seminar “Before You Call Yourself a Psychologist: Preparation, Pressure, and Professional Standards,” guest speaker Ms. Karen Gail Ibañez, RPm, RPsy, will share honest and grounded insights about the realities of the profession, from academic rigor to real-world psychological practice.

This event is designed to help Psychology students gain a deeper understanding of the competencies, mindset, and accountability required in the field. It aims to clarify professional expectations, strengthen identity formation, and prepare future psychologists to navigate challenges with integrity and confidence. More than a lecture, this is a meaningful opportunity to reflect on what it truly takes to carry the title with competence and responsibility.
