I am currently a student at the University of Central Florida. I plan on graduating UCF with a major in psychology and a minor in cognitive sciences. My goal is to become a psychology teacher and a psychologist/mental health counselor. I have been working with Therapy International for over a year. I believe counseling can have a significant effect on the human psyche and over all emotional well-being. In high school, I was a trained peer counselor. Our goal was to help fellow students resolve problems by calmly talking the issue out. It was our duty to assist the students to learn how to help themselves. This high school course helped me decide that I wanted to go into the field of psychology. It is proven that mental and emotional stress can cause serious physical ailments and that it is important to seek help if you feel you need it.
