Personal Counseling

Jamie is a licensed counselor by the state of Kentucky and works hard to provide the best counseling services possible for students. Some students may feel more comfortable seeing one counselor over the other or even seeking services outside of Florence Schneider Hall.

All personal counseling sessions are kept confidential. The exception to this rule is if there is a danger to self or others. The rules of confidentiality are explained in more detail upon a student’s initial appointment and are available to parents by contacting Pokey via email. 

Jamie is trained to work with students who present a variety of concerns. Because of this, there is no concern too big or too small. Some of these concerns may include academic performance, stress and anxiety, personal and/or familial relationships, personal identity and growth, and adjusting to life at Gatton.

Yes! Students may initially bring a friend to counseling with them before transitioning to one-on-one meetings. 

Students will first work with their Residential Counselor on their floor as well as the Assistant Director of Residence Life to alleviate any immediate concerns. If necessary and best for the student, Jamie will be called and will come to the dorm for emergencies.

Parents have the option to disclose directly to Jamie the mental health history of their student. If needed, Jamie can work hand in hand with the home counselor to ensure the best continuation of care for the student. 

Please feel free to reach out to Jamie directly for any current or future questions, comments or concerns. Our contact information can be found on the right-hand side of this page.
