The Mindful EPPP Licensing Journey

Exceptional Psychologists Purposefully Persisting

Together, we will support each other, work as a community, and hold each other accountable to reach our life altering goals... passing our EPPP licensing exam and most importantly, being able to legally call ourselves what we are... Licensed Psychologists!


We are Exceptional Psychologists who are Purposefully Persisting, and we will persevere until we reach our goals, because we have 'ganas!'


"You're going to work harder here than you've ever worked anywhere else. And the only thing I ask from you is 'ganas.' Desire...If you don't have the ganas, I will give it to you, because I'm the expert." - Jaime Escalante

Ganas & Go! and Mindful EPPP Journey’s services are available to individuals regardless of race, color, national origin, or any other protected status.
