Welcome!
Psychology

Welcome to the wonderful world of Psychology, where we’ll explore who we are and why we do what we do. Some people have called this a “soft science”, but the only thing soft about it is that squishy brain over there on the right. Is it inexact, theory-based and hard to pin down at times? Of course it is! Because you can’t put human beings under a microscope, after all. But you can apply scientific methodologies & empirical reasoning to gain some small scintilla of insight into what makes us tick.

So, that’s what we’ll do & we’ll have some fun in the process.

The high school years are a great time to dip your toes into these psychology waters because this time in your life is a continual exploration of Who am I? What makes me ME? and How do I fit in this world with others?

I’m eager to explore those questions with you!
