RAYMOND NOURMAND, MA

“I feel privileged to have worked with Dr. Mays as one of her undergraduate teaching assistants at UCLA for abnormal psychology in spring 2006, spring 2007, and spring 2008, learning more about the art of effective teaching.  In summer 2007, I worked with Dr. Mays on a project on American Indian Mental Health as well, gaining more experience and insight in the realm of psychological research.   Working with Dr. Mays has given me special skills I continue to use and build on today.”

Raymond recently completed his third year of his clinical psychology PhD program at the California School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles.  In 2010, he interned at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases. In August 2011, he began an internship at Chabad Residential Treatment Center, working with individuals with chemical dependencies and addictions, and their families.  He recently presented his research on emotional intelligence at the Western Psychological Association Convention in Los Angeles.
