Danbury$18/hr | 8 years experienceI got a degree in Social Work & Human Services and I’m furthering my studies in Psychology. I have also worked as an EMT and I’m trained in First Aid/CPR. My approach is empathetic, modern, and designed to each individual's needs. It is based on Cognitive theories such as Piaget's developmental theory of stages and Vygotsky's sociocultural cognitive theory and Information processing theory, secondary to this approach I also add behavioral and socio-cognitive theories such as Skinner's operant conditioning theory and Bandura's sociocognitive theory, psychoanalytical theories and Kelly's personal construct theories. To add to this, I strongly believe in the trait approach and in the existentialist, phenomenological and humanistic views, mixed together with self actualization, which in order to achieve it is imperative to first take a look into Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I am fluent in the English, Spanish and Portuguese so that I am able to communicate with a wider net of clients.
