20 Best Psychology Grad Programs In Orlando, FL (2022 Updated)

Rollins is truly such a special place! There are plenty of opportunities to get involved on campus and become a leader, engage in research and service opportunities, and work on campus. The professors at Rollins are truly exceptional and deeply care about each one of their students. The education I received at Rollins better prepared me for the next step in my career path. I am so grateful!Jessica Gonzalez

One of the most precious universities with such a unique environment. Since the day I toured the place I knew how special this college is. Awesome professors which are available to help at all times, good food served and nice organizational structure.Adriana Hudkins

the views and places you can go on campus is breath-taking by itself. there's nice valley-walks you can take, and the people there are oh, so nice! I'm in LOVE with Rollins College, and congrats to the people who graduated on sunday!Jordan-Skyy Evans

I appreciate Rasmussen University for having an abundance of resources and many professors and other staff members who demonstrate they want students to succeed. I especially have enjoyed being a peer educator, being privileged to work with Tammy Hopps who is an excellent supervisor and leader, and also being able to work with other peer educators who care for their peers as much as I do. I transferred from a local state college, which I considered sticking with to save money, but in reality, not much is saved when you compare the timeframe for graduation. At the state college it would take me an extra 2 whole years to receive my BSN, whereas at Rasmussen I save 2 years of time because of their second-degree BSN option. I am very pleased with the quality of technology – at the state school blackboard and other resources were slow and did not work as well on my cell phone, whereas with Rasmussen I can easily access everything I need from my phone when I'm on the go. It's inspiring to see so many single parents and married parents in school, some of which also work full time or part time like myself while completing their degree. Highly recommend!HappyNessa11:11& Family

I had such high hopes when enrolling at this school. However my experience hasn't been favorable at all. I am a current student and I was disappointed because even though I was able to enroll and start classes I really felt unsupported on this journey. I'm realizing Rasmussen may not be the school for me. I REALLY thought I would be supported and encouraged. I was made to feel that Rasmussen would be rooting for me through my academic journey. Instead I am bombarded with emails and calls telling me what I already know… I owe money. No calls or emails about how I can be helped to budget so that I can pay more toward the balance. I'm only being told: what I owe, to get the balance down to $500-$1000 and to take out loans; which will only put me in debt and it's too early to be taking out loans when I've been in school since September of 2021 and have 2 more years. Also this school doesn't cater to single parents, limited income and individuals that HAVE to work. This school ONLY has day classes for the nursing program and as I said before I HAVE to work full time.Sherria Clark

This morning I called the university for the North Orlando Campus for the Nursing program and spoke to the director of Nursing who was discusstingly rude on the phone. I called to get information, He had no patience and told me Not to proceed a career in Nursing because it was Not for me. This was a university that I was so excited to be a part of and be a graduate of Nursing. The director needs to be Fired because he is giving the university a bad reputation. To whom it may concern please take this review into consideration and hire a new director of Nursing for the program.Georgia Conde

(Translated by Google) A university in Florida, but with a Brazilian spirit. In addition to being a recognized higher education institution within American society, Florida Christian University has a very welcoming air for Brazilians who wish to graduate, or do a master's or doctorate in the United States. It is worthwhile to stop by or browse its website. (Original) Uma universidade na Flórida, porém com espírito brasileiro. Além de ser uma instituição de ensino superior reconhecida dentro da sociedade norte-americana a Flórida Christian University tem um ar bem acolhedor para os brasileiros que desejam se graduar, ou fazermos mestrado ou doutorado nos Estados Unidos. Vale a pena dar um pulo por lá ou navegar em seu website.Ralph Pires! A Voz do Coach!

This is a "Christian university," which is why I choose to come here and I was the class chaplain for the ultrasound program. AHU (formerly ADU) is far from mercy or grace. I made 2 C's and have been completely dismissed from the program forever (one new and experimental course not required for ultrasound-pediatrics)… 3 years and $30k debt later with 1 required class left, I cannot graduate. I went to the admissions director explaining the circumstances. Basically, I was told their decision stands. Something is very wrong about this situation. My family and 3 children are worst off from AHU. I had to deal with major health issues (and marital) that are now reasonably stable and have been completely withdrawn from the program with one required class remaining to be registered as a sonographer. We may seek legal action against them. I'm a disabled veteran that developed a rare condition and was finally properly diagnosed while attending the program. It was a nightmare trying to go to medical appointments, etc. They treat young and old alike, like children. The program looks for reasons to drop your grade… An example would be the routine checks to look at your home and class notes, books, etc If you don't meet their standard, they take away from your professional integrity grade. The people leading the program are careless/ruthless. The year before last we went through a hurricane with property damage. While all schools were out, mine was in session leaving no time to prepare my home and family… Same thing following the hurricane… we were back in classes being quizzed/tested while public schools had no schooling in session. I was told life happens and in healthcare you must be able to keep up… No excuses… No empathy… I explained there was no power or fuel in my area for over a week, needing to clean up, property damage… Still didn't care. Realistically, someone in my situation could have called out of work opposed to running off on the family having little food, fuel and a damaged home/property to run off school. Sadly, one student who performed well on all their quizzes and tests even came to class to take a quiz with a concussion… No joke! They didn't do well, but it was better than having their grade significantly reduced or receiving an F all together… The negative experiences are endless. Do yourself a favor, if you are determined to enter the ultrasound field, this is not a school to attend. Consider Valencia, Keiser, SantaFe. There was over a 50% fail/drop rate for the class of 2017 (I'm writing this in 2019… would have graduated with the class of 2019) and I'm talking about nearly straight-A students that were hand selected for a program with this high fail rate, which is a testament for this program. We are not dealing with students that don't know how to study or manage themselves. When the program was going through re-certification, we were told what we could and couldn't say… They expressed a concern of the courses having way too much content. Often you'll sit through three hours of lectures and then for the same class have another two to three hours of material to go through in online lectures… I don't know how they got away with only making many of the courses three credit hours. My curriculum changed several times spending money and taking class that were not required because the program kept changing; AHU does not refund unnecessary classes they tell you to take and then drops them as requirements. They do not respect you or your responsibilities as a student or as parent and will not look out for you. I've been to some of the best colleges in Florida: Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Stetson and Asbury Seminary. I've also attended Daytona State college and by far AdventHealth University is the worst experience I've ever had… specifically their ultrasound program. Keep in mind I'm a middle aged adult with a bachelor's of science and a masters with 4 classes remaining to complete my second masters degree. Avoid this schoolJan Vandermark

I was lucky enough to attend both AHU In Florida and Denver. the staffing Florida seem to actually care and go above and beyond for the students who put the work in. they were very well equipped with drop-in tutoring, helpful library, and flexible teacher hours. Denver was not like this. when I left ahu they did not have a nursing teacher in place;instead had the principal overextend herself to not only teach but continue her job as principal with help of a old nursing friend (with no teaching experience whatsoever). they did not have a library or any official tutoring hours except for a student-run tutoring session held over Skype. also keep in mind that you will be barely any financial assistance considering that the Denver campus is barely set up as a Colorado college therefore is not accepting Colorado Pell Grant or any other Colorado grants or financial assistance. I was paying almost 7000 a trimester, 5000 out of pocket with FASFA help. then there was the religious stigmas and relationships within the school. the only way I can describe the situation was.. think of mean girls. the religious, varsity, I'm-better-then-you white women. that is the people running this campus. all women are over 50 years old, religious, gossiping, and judgmental. if you are not exactly what they want you to be, you will experience discrimination, bullying, and gossip. I never felt comfortable there talking to any of them about any situations I was having in my life because of the energy The faculty gave off. so if you are a uptight, well off, Christian who can devote the next four years to learning everything from the book because there are no teachers to help you; then this is the school for you, otherwise there is many other schools that are better prepared to help you become a real world nurse.Sierra Freemyer

I am a current student at Adventist University and I do not regret my decision. I have finished my first year of college and can tell you that the professors care about the students and are always available to speak with you with open arms. The staff is friendly and helpful and make it their duty to help you as best as they can. The campus is clean and great and not to mention how it is right next to the Florida Hospital which gives students chances to get that hands on experience. It is great knowing you are surrounded by people who have a similar passion for helping people and an interest in health science professions.sAga99

I am so grateful I have found Stephanie at High Expectations. Stephanie has truly been a catalyst for positive change in my life as I navigate through many of life's challenges. Stephanie made me feel comfortable and supported right from our initial appointment. I enjoy and look forward to our sessions and take away many tools to help me cope with my current challenges. I was struggling for a long time behind closed doors and I am so happy I made the decision to reach out for help. Stephanie makes it so easy to connect and express. I feel so light and refreshed after my sessions. Thank you Stephanie for all your support, encouragement, professionalism, patience, attentiveness and positivity!Alysha J

Yesterday was my first visit to High Expectations Counseling, and it definitely wont be the last. They have a beautiful office located near downtown Orlando, and a safe space for you to unwind. They are team experienced professionals who just expanded by bringing Brooke Quinn to their team. Brooke has hands of gold and a healing touch. She is a licensed Massage Therapist, Yoga Instructor, and Reiki certified. She really helped with my neck and back pain with a deep tissue massage. If you're in the Orlando area I highly recommend High expectations counseling to heal your mind, body, and soul.Darnelius G

I came to see Sally for therapy after realizing that I needed help with my marriage. I admit I was hesitant to go at first. Once we started seeing her I soon realized how much value it brought to our marriage. Today we are communicating better, listening to each other for the first time and feel like it’s a brand new and improved relationship. One that is no longer built on us thinking it was our job to fix each other. Thank you so much for your support and guidance.Lee Vargo

I've been seeing Total Health Guidance for a few months now and I am so grateful. Other therapy that I've had basically just let me talk for an hour every week (which is helpful) but I often needed more practical steps. Total Health Guidance gives you a game plan and walks you through it based on the things you're dealing with. I'm really happy with all the progress I've made even though it's been really uncomfortable at times to work through my traumas. Overall, it's a great place with very helpful people.Joe Seidel

LaMaras is the name of the counselor I met today for a consult and it couldn’t have gone better!! From the very beginning of the call he was very calm, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I was a little hesitant to go through with making a follow up appointment but in less than 20 minutes, I was thoroughly convinced. 😮‍💨🙏🏽 Looking forward to working with him!Adam Alli

I would like to thank Total Health Guidance. For their staff and a special thanks to Ma. Jeannette for her patient, and her calm demeanor during our interview. Your words were clear and very comforting. I would love to send anyone that needs help. I recommend. Total Health Guidance to anyone. Again thanks for your time and help.Jonas Middleton

The staff here is very kind and they have helped me so much and I’m glad that I was able to find Total Life Counseling! When thinking as a 19 year old making a transition into adult hood, Jim West and TLC were able to help me see a different path to take and has lead me into a career and a future I wouldn't have foreseen without there help. Even now when I'm not physically in Florida, I am still on the phone with Jim West to keep branching and exercising my mind to stay healthy. Jim West as a individual person is one of the most down to earth and humble person I've ever met in my life time. I am very glad that I was able to take the step as a person to get into counseling because it has opened up so many doors for me all because of Jim and his amazing staff. If any person is able to turn a life around and make you think about different outcomes then Total Life Counseling is the place for you. I have been held accountable to the point that I've been able to reassess my own actions and life, being able to make a complete U-turn into being able to have the confidence and self-belief that I can be whatever I put my mind to and striving for greatness!Jack Cannon

We've been taking our son here for a while now and it's really helping. He's a complex kid with a lot of thoughts and emotions. Jim has done a great job creating a relationship with him. He's doing so much better emotionally and behaviorally. His communication skills have really improved as well! Jim has also helped us understand him and find the best ways to communicate with him effectively. Our son is getting better and so are we. We have no plans to stop anytime soon and we are incredibly thankful!Caitlin Sowell

Anna Vita is an amazing counselor. She is compassionate and empathetic and kind. She helps one think of things they wouldn’t normally and is a great help in my self growth. She is a great partner for the change in myself I am looking for. I think she would be extremely helpful to anyone who comes to see her. I recommend her highly. Why walk your path to self discovery alone? You could have an excellent navigator along the way.Sylver

I went to Dr Bush because I was having an issue with sweets and I was overweight. To be honest I wasn’t sure that I was the type of person because of my personality that could be hypnotize. but after meeting with Dr Bush I felt very comfortable with him.so we tried the Hypnosis. After the session was over I really didn’t feel anything, but A few days later I realize that I had not thought about sweet stuff at all and my obsession with sweets and sugar and that deep deep urge to go get something sweet was no longer there. If you have an issue. I am here to tell you that you should definitely go and see Dr. Scott he is amazing and the fact that he helped me with this sweet addiction that was controlling my life. it’s simply amazing and I’m super super thankful to him.123Sheriblue

Coming from out of state, Dr. Bush was extremely accommodating and worked me into a 4 hour time slot. Just one lengthy session with him helped me to be free of anxieties I’ve carried for years! Do not let distance deter you from contacting him! To no avail, I’ve tried everything to get rid of disordered eating and obsessive behaviors… and finally, after visiting with Dr. Bush, I feel anxiety free and like a new person! I no longer have the desire to engage in my life-long pattern of restricting from and overindulging in food. A meeting with him was life-giving and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to have met with him! Everyone needs a visit with Dr. Bush!Christi Brown

My husband and I went to see Dr. Bush. After one consult and one EMDR session, I feel the best I’ve felt, ever! I have way more patience, happier, feel lighter, and am truly so thankful for a friend telling me about this type of therapy. It’s a miracle that a type of therapy can work this well and I’d never heard of it. If you have ANY old baggage/ trauma, I’d highly suggest spending the money. You won’t regret it.Kate O'Connell

Mrs Bridgette Wilson is very interested in her patients ' well being and takes her time to better understand what is going on. Comparing with my son's previous psychiatrists, she really cares for his well being by asking lots of questions. For the first time my son got the right diagnosis and is on the right medication. I definitely recommend her to anyone.parker

Always so professional and kind. The staff is amazing. Dr.Brigette Wilson is amazing. She listens to all my concerns on my bipolar disorder and she works really hard to make sure I am ok and that my medication regiment is doing it’s job. I highly recommend Life Stance Health to anyonethe starseeker17

Honestly was completely overwhelmed with having an appointment but only after a few minutes felt at ease it's a hard to open up and trust another but I would highly recommend going and receiving treatment here thanks guysElizabeth Vargas

I just want to say I am so thankful for how organized and friendly the staff is. I had a very poor experience at my children's previous agency. I am so thankful they are providers of Tricare as well since it is so difficult to find psychiatry providers for children in our area. Would like to say that Sasha Griffin is amazing with my kids. I love how direct and patient she is. Being a mental health professional myself, I am very picky about who my children see. I hope that my children can continue the care with Sasha as long as possible! Thank you all for your services.Nella Ciciulla

My initial appt at APS was far beyond my expectations! I called one day and they arrangeded to see me the next morning at 8:15 AM. The staff was prepared and very helpful. Dr. Nazir spent about 90 minutes with us, explaining virtually everything I needed to know about Ketamine and all the questions we had – past and current meds; how he'd contact my cardiologist about a heart problem I have (before treatment); how I should proceed on my meds until all was cleared. Can't say enough about everything!Roger Koehler

I see Maria as my therapist and she is one of the best hands down. No long waits she truly cares about her patients and their well being. I would definitely recommend Advance Psychiatric.Raquel Fisher

Great staff and doctor. Doctor is in constant communication with me listened to all My troubles and was very helpful. Has given me many martials and therapy to continue my progress with my mental health. Would highly recommend. As I read some of the other reviews after posting mine a lot of the negative reviews that I read I've never had happened to me I've always received the same doctor and when I've had an issue, the doctor had given me other colleagues that I could reach out to to I he was unavailable to resolve my problem and they went above and beyond resolving and attending to my issue at hand right away especially through past experiences trying to find a doctor let alone getting the right treatment from that doctor has taken me over a year until I found Orlando psychiatrics would definitely highly recommend and this is not a fake review as I seen many of you post that the positive reviews were. Staff and the whole facility has been great.Michael Kolas

Literally no… they are always 30 minutes late to an appt. Your appt is 10 minutes long, the doctor is only there to prescribe medication so all they say is “hi, how are your meds? Okay bye” and that’s it. My first appt was supposed to be paid through HSA and my hsa ended up denying it without me know. They never called me. Instead they billed me close to $400.00 via text five minutes before my scheduled appt… I callled them crying because my mom just died, I need this medication and they want to blame me for the non-payment when they didn’t even call me to tell me it was never paid. They will not call you before your appt for payment, they text you literally 5 min beforehand for payment. The office staff always throws you on hold. Just no, book somewhere else if you truly want mental health help. This place makes you feel like a number… you don’t feel like a human that needs help. You feel like a paycheck for them and their staff.Tegan Diemer

To say Katie Cutchin has saved my life would be untrue , because since being under her therapeutic care she hasn’t saveED my life, she’s actively been savING my life, & changing it for the better. I’ve visited countless therapist and psychiatrists throughout my life all of which have done little to nothing in terms of my mental health struggles. I’ve been doing talk therapy as well as EMDR therapy with Katie for about a little less than a year now, & for the first time in my life I have a pinch of control over my emotions. Since receiving treatment, I’ve noticed improvement in not only my cognitive abilities, but my confidence & communication as well. It’s an on going process with struggles , but I recommend Katie to literally everyone I know & if you’re reading this & are looking for help , I say look no further. 12 out of 10!Kevin Palmer

HOPE. If I could use only one word to describe Dr. Shainna, it would be hope. I've been seeing Dr. Shainna off and on over the course of about a year, and I have noticed a significant improvement in my self-awareness, assertiveness, and confidence in myself. Dr. Shainna provides tools and homework for self-improvement and creates an empathetic and understanding environment that I feel completely at ease in. Currently with the COVID pandemic, her sessions are via teleconference, but even over teleconference it feels like I'm sitting right across from her. I appreciate that her camera is angled directly at her face so it's like we're still making eye contact even though it's via computer. You certainly get from counseling what you put in, and so I'm patting myself on the back a bit for the hard work I've done, but none of it would have been possible without Dr. Shainna's expertise and care. There is still work to be done (I like to think of myself as "under construction"), but I know that I'm in good hands with Dr. Shainna. I am truly, truly grateful to her!Heather Suarez

Dr. Ali is amazing!!! She helped me get through trauma that I buried and didn’t want to face. She showed me coping mechanisms for my anxiety and depression to help me understand where it was all stemming from so I didn’t have to get to the lowest of the lows anymore. With her help I have become a strong and confident woman and have learned how to love myself completely!! I highly recommend her. She really cares about her clients and anyone who crosses paths with her will understand within those first moments of their session. I have such gratitude for the opportunity to be in her presence and soak up the wisdom she gave me!Cait Amelia

I cannot recommend Dr. Ali enough! She is very approachable and easy to talk to. She is knowledgeable and receptive to my family's individual needs. Dr. Ali puts things into perspective while giving honest and trustworthy advice.Veronica Gonzalez

Great campus! This campus doesn't offer as many things as the larger East and West campuses, however it does have a math lab and writing center in case you need some extra help. This campus also has a computer lab, library, bookstore, and support center. This smaller campus is a lot quieter and peaceful when compared to the other campuses. The Winter Park campus offers a very nice outdoor patio area with tables and also has a small but nice student lounge. The staff and faculty are all very nice and help push the peaceful atmosphere of the campus. If given the opportunity I would highly recommend taking some classes at this campus rather than some of the larger ones.Jacob Harris

trying to enroll. Impossible. No one has the right information. Spoke to multiple people : CJ, Laura Pineda ,Tyrone, Max Arias, Kayla and Jessica They keep transferring and transferring for other people. Their advisors just copy and paste information! No one is actually wanting to help or knows anything!!!! This is because you are a prospect, I can only imagine when you become a student!Tchello_Thor

Girl working in the campus bookstore was extremely RUDE. I was the only person in the store and she had an attitude every time she spoke and talked to me like I was incompetent. Don’t appreciate paying for school and then to be treated poorly at your schools own bookstore! And I also called prior – no answer. Come into the book store and it’s deadSabrina Heimbach

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO ENROLL AT THIS SCHOOL OR ANOTHER CAMPUS AFFILIATED WITH THIS SCHOOL. AFTER COMING TO THIS SCHOOL FOR A FEW SEMESTERS, THEY TRY 2 SWINDLE YOUR MONEY OR FINANCIAL AID OUT OF YOU. THEY ARE NOT IN YOUR BEST INTEREST FOR YOU TO LEARN AND GET UR DEGREE. EVERYONE FROM THE FRONT OFFICE, FROM THE RECEPTIONIST TO THE DIRECTOR IS A BUNCH OF B.S. NO ONE CAN ACTUALLY TELL YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON, JUST MISLEADING INFORMATION AND LIES.Andrea Brown

I'm a new student who just completed my first semester. It was the smoothest process ever with no hassle. This is how all schools should operate.Sharee Gandy

Mary was a wonderful asset to our family during a few difficult circumstances. We have been with Mary for 7 plus years. Assessments and therapy for my son was very useful.Jennifer Walsh

Best experience with a health professional I have ever had. I went here for one time testing and she spent an incredible amount of time with me going over every aspect of my testing results and family history. Our appointment lasted far longer than I thought it would because she wanted to be as thorough as possible with the diagnostic.Steven Braeger

I love everything about this doctor she takes the time to listen to you and to make sure that she hears everything that concerns you about your child I am have been blessed to find her 😊Mindy Stoltz

Dr. Wetherby is absolutely amazing at what she does. My son has benefited greatly from working with her. Dr. Wetherby goes above and beyond in every way!Nicole

My first impression of Dr. Pedemonte was that she was a knowledgeable and well-purposed professional; however, OPA and Dr. Pedemonte charge outrageous hourly rates for not only BEYOND sub-par editing standards (My last name was misspelled the incorrect way 4 times in two different ways), but evidently also a huge lack of professional standard with apparent pretentious and misrepresentative statements. I would recommend you find someone that puts more care and time charging $200 an hour. This is an abhorrent example of what a mental-health provider should be to their patient and should not be tolerated.Brandon T
