Counselor in SEAS
Students enrolled in the Student Equity and Success (SEAS) programs have priority access to an in-house mental health therapist.
Mariane Stimbra-Mora, the Counselor in SEAS, is dedicated to supporting low income, first generation, historically underrepresented and underserved student populations. SEAS programs include: EOP, EXCEL, GANAS, PIAA, Renaissance Scholars, and Sankofa Scholars.
In addition to mental health counseling, they are able to connect students to other support programs and services, both on and off campus.
SEAS students can receive brief individual and couples therapy, as well as a variety of counseling groups that meet throughout the week. All of these services are covered by the health fee paid at registration each semester.
Counseling sessions are confidential, and held in-person in the Student & Faculty Support (SF) building or via Zoom.
