Subjective Individual Well-Being

This is an individual’s affect, feelings and emotions, and cognitive, thinking and knowledge. We will call this Mental Health. OHW is here to help you with transitions in life; awareness, acknowledgement and acceptance of the emotions you feel; developing healthy coping skills, stress management and relationships; continued work with diagnosed ailments and discovering how you best feel and think.

Corktown Campus Counseling

OHW has in-person counseling here to help with navigating feelings, stress, worry, depression relationships and more. This service is at no additional cost to the students of UDM. Our office is located in the Clinic Building Room 425, and can be done through telehealth on an as needed basis. All UDM Dental Students can schedule through our secure, confidential platform with their UDM email address. On-campus counseling is typically short term and builds tools and skills for the individual to practice with the counselor and use as needed.

Available Session for Self Scheduling

• Sounding Board (15 minutes): a casual, non-therapeutic chat. This is a great opportunity for a quick meet and greet, or just to touch base.
• Personal Session (50 minutes): A focused therapy session designed to explore, navigate, and understand your personal journey. Let’s work together to find meaningful insight and growth.
• You + Another (up to 90 minutes): A session for you and a friend or partner, where we’ll work on improving communication and understanding your relationship.

Additional Sessions Therapist Can Schedule As Needed

• Drop-in (TBD): If you need to talk now or just want to say hi, swing by and if I’m available, we’ll chat. This is an informal, on-the-spot conversation and non-therapeutic.
• Practice Session (30 minutes): For those moments when you don’t need a full therapy session and would like to practice skills and tools. We’ll schedule this together when it’s the best fit for your needs.

Sessions Are Available:

• Mondays & Fridays: 9am - 5pm
• Tuesdays & Thursdays: 9am - 3pm
