Whitney Jones
Denton,TX
Summary
I am a student who is passionate about the mind, how we can cure ailments within it, and assisting others in recovery of substance abuse disorder. I plan to graduate in the fall of 2024 with a B.S in Psychology and a minor in addiction studies. The classes I have taken thus far have prepared me to begin to show employers what I have learned in terms of treating addiction, as well as working with patients experiencing co-morbid mental health disorders. I have personal life experience regarding addiction and am ready to take my skills of assessment, ability to build client rapport, and knowledge of the treatment of disorders to the real world.
