UL Lafayette sociology alum Jennifer Aymond Glasscock is the owner of a mental health group practice.

“I knew I wanted to be a therapist. I chose sociology and psychology because I had a passion to learn more about human behavior and interactions. I was always intrigued and driven to understand why people do what they do and what influences that.”
