Matthew’s Answer

This is such a copout answer, but it's a valid one.

Talk to your school counselors. There's probably a career counselor or college counselor in your Department of Psychology or similar; they'll have great recommendations for things that you can do to get ahead in your career.

Here's an article:

I can't recommend enough that you start a club in college (whether it's related to psych, therapy, or even just a hobby of yours). I made a sort of lecturing club where people could present their non-academic passions and practice public speaking, got about 6 semi-active participants, and it was a great talking point on my resume for interviews. It shows initiative and interpersonal skills, both of which are invaluable in any field. Joining a club and trying to participate in its management is an equally worthwhile experience.

Toastmasters is a good, national (global?) organization that's all about public speaking; it has name recognition and an emphasis on interpersonal skills that would likely be relevant to any Psych sorts of thing that you want to pursue.

Katherine’s Answer

Hey, two quite famous people who have been helping thousands of people for years are Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. They have done some things together, and a lot separately too. If you're joining the psych world, check them out. They know what they are talking about. They each have a version of a show these days that you can find pretty easily on various social media.
