I know that before you came to us doing your practicum and your interns, your intern, that you worked in special education.
Yes, I worked in special education as a one-on-one or a paraprofessional.
I worked with children with special needs, and that included autism, ADHD, behavioral issues.
Recently, we've been seeing a lot of behavioral difficulties with children in the classroom, so I dealt with a lot of that.
And that's – I bring it up because I want to know how – that's one of the things that actually I was, like, super excited about, having somebody with that experience become a therapist, you know? So how does that influence your approach to therapy?
Because that child's already going through so much, and to try and nail down to them, do this, do that, do that, it's not effective.
Because I know you have a really good approach when it comes to the patients that you work with and your patients like really love you.
So let's talk a little bit about some of the theories that you find interested in using with those patients.
