驻院辅导员

The Counselor-in-Residence (CR) Program places professionally supervised mental health clinicians directly into the residence halls to address the mental health concerns of residents and 住房和居住生活 staff. CRs are doctoral students in Clinical Psychology or Counselor Education programs who have a Master's degree and have completed at two years of supervised clinical training.

The objective of the CR program is to support the academic and personal growth of students through the provision of on-site and easily accessed consultation and mental-health support services after hours and on the weekends through the Let's Talk initiative.

LET'S TALK

• Want to receive confidential mental health Consultation and Referral?
• 在处理问题时需要支持?
• 你担心你的朋友吗?

Stop by the Counselor-in-Residence Office Sunday through Friday (5-10 p.m.) in Room 160 in the Living Learning Center on South Green. 无需预约! “Let's Talk”不需要任何费用或保险.

If you need to speak with a CR outside of their office hours, please contact your RA or RD. They would help you locate a CR or a staff member from CPS.

In an emergency situation, call 911 for emergency assistance.

Hey there! I am Brandon and am really excited to be able to work with the residents here on campus as a Counselor in Residence! I received a bachelor’s in Psychology from the University at Buffalo in 2017, as well as my Master’s degree in general psychology from the University at Buffalo in 2019. 我目前是一名五年级临床心理学博士.D. 公开大学的学生. My research focus has primarily been on the development of brief interventions targeting risk factors for anxiety and mood disorders, such as intolerance of uncertainty and perfectionism. My primary goal in my work is to work with folks who suffer from these disorders to develop treatments that are equitable, affordable, and easily implemented to increase service utilization for those in individuals who may be in the most dire need of these services.  

在成为CR之前, I have worked at the Psychology and Social Work Clinic as well as 辅导及心理服务. My clinical work has primarily focused on working with students here on campus and that has allowed me to truly learn to understand many of the common struggles that students have here on campus. I am also an instructor on campus and previously worked as an academic advisor – both areas that have given me an even wider perspective on what is going on with students on campus! My hope is that this time and experience has given me insight into many of the common struggles, while also respecting the individuality of each and every one of you!

My time outside of work is usually spent playing video games with my Fiancee (Kyrstin). 我也喜欢听有声读物, reading books, 看动漫, 看各种各样的体育比赛. Another thing that I love to do is spend time with my dog, Rilley! You will likely see me and her or her and Kyrstin walking around on campus. Feel free to come pet Rilley, she’s the friendliest girl!

Hello, I’m Brittany and I am so excited to join the OU residence community as a Counselor in Residence!

I received my bachelor's degree with dual majors in psychology and history in 2013 and my master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Cleveland State University in 2015. I am currently a second-year student in the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. 开放大学的课程. My research interests focus broadly on the relationship between stress, 内化障碍, and physical health; in the long run, I hope to identify risk and resiliency factors of these disorders and simultaneously create effective interventions to help reduce the emotional and physical impacts of stress and 内化障碍.

来澳大之前, I was the lead Mental Health Worker on an inpatient Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit for over seven years, where I facilitated psychoeducational and therapeutic groups for patients, trained staff, 参加各种安全委员会, 并对医院数据进行了研究. I hope to one day return to an academic medical center where I can engage actively with patients and programming across units while also conducting research to better inform that work. (Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about careers in more acute mental health roles such as hospitals, 住宅设施, 精神病院!)

When I'm not engaged in the many responsibilities of grad school I enjoy being outdoors hiking and exploring, kayaking, dancing, working out, 读一本好小说, drinking tea, 收听真实犯罪播客, 和朋友聊上几个小时, taking naps, drawing, 吃几乎任何形式的面条, crocheting, laughing, and, 最重要的是, 和我的七磅重的救援犬在一起, Copper.
