“Assumption gave me the tools and support necessary to be successful in my field of study. The program’s emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy familiarized me with the theory that has been adopted by the [hospital] I currently work in.  My familiarity with CBT principles has allowed me to teach these concepts and skills to patients effectively.”
