Hello! My name is Cassidy Gagné. I currently live in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I am a Navy Veteran originally from North Conway, New Hampshire. I am pursuing a career as a Mental Health Counselor. After completing my Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Social Services, I will be applying to graduate school to further my education in the Psychology field. I am taking this course to help expand my understanding of psychology, leading me to become a more well-rounded Mental Health Counselor. I am interested in using my knowledge of psychology to help adolescents effectively cope with life’s challenges and learn to understand themselves better. I am hoping to help lay the foundation for healthy adult behaviors and overall happier life for adolescents in need.
