Introduction
The Mental Health Department currently houses two therapists, Shelby Wilkie and Sarah Guck. Both Shelby and Sarah are Licensed Clinical Social Workers and are passionate about helping students.
In their individual therapeutic work, they use an Emotion Focused Approach informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help students get clear on what emotions hold them back and what emotions they want to experience moving forward. They also hold different therapy groups so that students have the added benefit of healing with their peers. Shelby and Sarah also provide Mental Health Programming to students and staff/faculty and had a total of 13 programs in the last 4 months!
