I’m not sure how many years of schooling you are anticipating, but I think you have more than a few years to complete this degree program. Is that what you want!

Unless I’m mistaken, for the PsyD, I’ve seen that programs generally structured:
4 years of full-time classes + 1 year of internship where you get between 1000-2000 supervised hours
I’ve also seen 3 years of full-time classes + 2 years split between classes and internship.
After all that, you have to post-doc and get another 1500-2000 supervised clinical hours for your license. All total: about 6 years.

Most clinical PhD programs I’ve seen are 6-8 years (which includes coursework, internship hours, and doing your research) + you still have to do the post-doc to get the remaining supervised hours before licensure. All total: 7-9 years.
