There is younger kids watching this right now who are going to helping the world in big ways because this inspired them.

I hope your eye gets better soon! I absolutely love your videos. My dad passed away recently and I was affected by the August 4th explosion (I'm in Beirut, Lebanon). I have not managed to find a single therapist who understands me well or uses up-to-date studies to help me. Your videos are the only place where I have felt understood. Thank you for all the work you do. ❤

This is amazing, I'm going into my final semester for my master's in counseling, and I've used wisdom and reflections from your TikTok videos for inspiration in session with clients. Thank you for sharing your light with us!

Just start sharing your story with others. It’s so helpful and that’s what I do on my channel. I consider myself a student of life who is constantly learning and sharing. I find it quiet healing to others.

I found you on tiktok and I instantly loved your content. I’ve always wanted to help people and shed some light in this world we live in and you’ve inspired me so much ♡

I loved this I've been interested in phycology for a while now. Im only in Highschool and next year I'm going to start phycology. I going to child psych next year or the year after that. These videos also have helped me realize I really am interested in it. I always feared that I would start the class and then not like it. I've always seen the long way of getting the degree and it's definitely made me doubt getting the degree. So thank you for showing a shorter and way that makes it easier.

It’s amazing to see this stuff on social media ❤️ I am a psychiatric nurse myself as a profession, but I do cosplay/gaming/singing on social media to cheer people up and make them smile when I’m just me as a private person. I do truly appreciate people who manage to do this both as work an on media 🙏🏻

hi! i don’t know how many of these comments u read, but i’m very thankful for u and ur content. not only do ur videos give me a safe space to reflect and challenge my thoughts and feelings, but as someone who is incredibly interested in pursuing psychology but has no idea where to begin, this video was extremely insightful. thank u so much for talking to us, explaining ideas simply but kindly, and overall just being a genuine person :D

I love listening to your videos. This really helped me to exactly figure out what I like most about psychology and it just so happens to be exactly what you’re doing. I’ve been contemplating on going to school for this for a few years but didn’t know exactly how to figure out what I’m interested in the most and this really helped me. I think my child hood and the things I’ve endured in this life has made me very interested in the brain and why people do what they do. Thanks so much for your videos!!

Your voice, your approach, your kindness make you very comfortable to listen to, and pause and think

Thank you Matthias for this video... sincerely. As a aspiring psychotherapists myself this video brought much reassurance and fulfilled my heart. Thank you again :)

I'm almost done with my masters, then I'll hopefully go under supervision! I'm so proud of you!!!!

I just want to say thank you, you said everything when you mentioned that your degree just gives you a bit of knowledge and what brought you great knowledge in your area was the different training. That’s exactly my path, unfortunately, I came to another country with the hope that I would learn so much in college but the system is just not good enough to teach the student to be professional, I feel like where I’m living they just give the material and they are not worried about how the students are getting this content or either if they are learning. Maybe one day that will change when our generation starts to do differently as academic lecturers, anyway, best of luck to you. 🍀

Thank you so much for this. This career is something i always considered growing up and at 24, i've done nothing with my life. Work fast food. But i'm ready to change that. And looking into things that matter to me. This being one. So thanks for helping even if i don't go down this path in the end.

Love this.

Spot on, man. Spot on! Keep fighting the good fight. You are going places and thank you for sharing and bringing us along on your journey.

I found you on tiktok, and forever grateful on how you present information, its inspiring and helpful for dealing with things on a day to day basis.

You are so good at conveying your point in a digestible and interesting way! I’m on the track to becoming a therapist as well and I don’t know whether to enter a masters of social work or PsyD program:( this did help me a lot start to consider the pay difference as well! Thank you for making such amazing content and sharing it with the world❤️

I’ve been wanting to be a psychotherapist ever since Jr. High. I just instantly fell in love psychology and more than anything I just want to help others. And I’m going to college soon and I’m excited to start learning and trying to become one! You’re a big inspiration and I love the content!

I really really REALLY needed this video!! I just started this KZfaq channel to reach out and help others while bettering myself in the process. This is also really helpful considering I'm still trying to figure out my education and where I want to be in the future. Thank you for this!!

I think you’re really good at translating.

You get a thumbs up for mentioning a philosophy undergrad degree! I have one and usually hear about how it's not worth much.

I totally agree. A person can be uplifting and healing to people around them in common situations. If a lot of folks, like me, came here to your channel because of your TikTok videos, then most of us know who ScottdHenry is. Who jt_laybourne is. Eddudez. They are also my therapy. :D Thank you for all you do, please keep it up.

Mathias, I am a women’s health NP currently adding my post masters PMHNP. I think you are phenomenal! I listen to you daily. I have referred many people to you! Kudos to you. You are a wise soul!

This is awesome going to school for my LCSW in a 5 years masters program. Thanks Matthias

great job keep up the good work

I am really enjoying your content and I love the new vibe you brought to TikTok

I am about to start my masters program in April. I am debating about doing the 3000 hours to work on my own only because I am getting older. So that is still something I need to figure out. But I am so excited to start this and watching your videos gives me more motivation to want to reach others.

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve got a long way to go. I am only 3 semesters into getting my associates 😬

you're awesome and I love you you have a lot of good advice I love you thank you so much

There are some really great MSW programs that offer a focus on clinical work! I would imagine you receive more tangible skills and interventions in that versus a traditional MSW

Thanks for making this video! I don't fall into either of these categories, but it was still interesting to learn what education is required for a psychotherapist (helps build trust!) and how that can apply to a social media context. I would love to learn more about motivational interviewing. Are there book(s) or resource(s) you could recommend to a layperson wanting to learn more about that topic?

Nova and bon iver I love their music! I want to go for social work but now I don’t know

Could you or would you please do a video on grief? Thank you so much

Hey! Any chance you could share resources for the specific trainings you did? I am graduating from my master's program in clinical mental health counseling in the next year and am interested in pursuing some of those trainings!

so good! I'm currently trying to figure out what I want to do with my life for a while I did want to be a counsellor but I'm thinking of going into nursing. Love what you said at the start it's not what you do but how you do it

Did you get a masters in clinical mental health counseling or counseling psychology? Why did you choose one over the other?

Oh damn, so you’re just out of school working on your clinical hours. Newer to the field than I had guessed.

Hey Matthias, a question, I want to be a psychologist, I can gather enough money to start at 25. How much of a difference does the institution you get your masters degree from make?

Hey Mathias! Have you been involved in assistantships while attending graduate school? I’m going to start my planning for applying at graduate schoool

Could you maybe make a video on Narcissistic Personality Disorder / abuse / Domestic Violence. I’m a survivor and I really struggle sometimes. I would love to hear your advice. Thanks! 💕💖

I know you have lots to do due to KZfaq, Tik Tok, career in therapy, but I have a request for a video “how to get past a heart break” this last year my high school “sweetheart” and I ended our relationship on a bad note after almost 3 years it was my first love and it’s been almost a year and a half and I still cannot stop thinking about her and I cannot get rid of the pictures and I still wear a bracelet that we had matching and I just can’t get over it and since then I have so much frustration and sadness please advice video?

It wouldn’t be 5 additional years to a PhD if you already hold a masters.

Not me applying to and switching from psych to social work for my graduate Rn to counsel

Have you worked with PMHNP’s?

Wisdom

I understand being certified. What I don't fully agree with is how many year's, debt & time it takes to simply get a piece of paper after completing it with no reimbursement. Then after you find a job with an ok paying job. Now that's pathetic.
