SERVICE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
My service learning experience has been with the Marriage and Family Therapy Lab; we watch and code real life therapy sessions on tape. This experience has made my passion for therapy grow, as it has opened my eyes to what a real life therapist actually does. Each patient and couple is different, and it is interesting seeing each couple grow as they continue to experience therapy.
