I am interested in the behaviors of people and sometimes find myself wondering what they may have. Once I graduate. I hope to be able to analyze human behavior and mental processes, analyze theories that are connected to psychology, evaluate theories of development, evaluate research methods in the psychology field, demonstrate consistent communication behaviors and acquire skills. I hope learn and apply these problems with ethics to the field of phycology I will be working in. My name is Delmy Penamora and I have just opened my business a 1 year ago. My practice focuses on social psychology. A month ago I had a patient that came in, the patient has a severe phobia of being around people.
