Abstract

The experiences of early career psychologists (ECPs) have become a focal point within the profession of psychology, with trends reflecting increasing financial burdens and career struggles. Despite these trends, few attempts to directly explore themes among the experiences of ECP women’s career adjustment in clinical settings have been published. In this study, consensual qualitative research (CQR) methodology was used to extract themes among a sample of recently licensed ECPs ( N = 13) identifying as women in clinical positions who were licensed between 1 and 3 years since graduating. Specific themes related to struggles (e.g., the licensing process, financial burdens, and lack of mentorship) as well as strengths (e.g., family, peer, and workplace support) are discussed. Implications for career development research, theory, and practice are suggested for stakeholders interested in the career development of ECP women in clinical settings.
