In addition to the usual responsibilities of a generalist practitioner that include intake assessments, diagnostic evaluations, and brief individual and group counseling and psychotherapy, this position will take seriously the impact of marginalized identities, experiences of inequality, and experiences of oppression and privilege on mental health.

This position requires supervision of graduate interns and clinical staff seeking licensure/advanced degree as well as consultation and educational outreach services across all campus constituencies.
