Meet the UCC Staff
The staff at the University Counseling Center includes psychologists and postdoctoral-level counselors. While some of our staff have particular areas of expertise, each staff member is trained to assess and to treat a variety of clinical concerns. Staff at the University Counseling Center are also available to consult on a variety of issues affecting student growth and development. This consultation can take the form of providing information and materials, assisting with workshop design, or facilitating programs.
