Brenda
Lovstuen, Ph.D., Director
This is my seventh year as Director of Counseling at
Cornell, and it's been good to be back, after having graduated from
Cornell in 1992.
I have worked with people of all ages but
especially like working with college students, and
thus enjoy the multiple opportunities to do so here on a small campus.
One such opportunity is through being a certified instructor for the internationally known RAD (Rape Aggression Defense) Basic Self-Defense Program, which I co-teach with local police officers each semester.
I am a licensed psychologist and a "generalist" (vs. a "specialist"),
meaning I work with a wide range of concerns. Some of the concerns I
have worked with most frequently include depression, anxiety, self-esteem,
relationships, academic problems, assertiveness, stress, grief and loss,
and sexual assault, and I am happy to meet with students regarding any
mental health related issue and help them identify options for resolving
their concerns.
Megan Jones, LISW, Counselor
This is my third year at Cornell College and I am very excited to continue working with such a dynamic student body. I am a part-time counselor at the counseling center, and I offer evening appointments on Tuesdays for students who are not able to receive services during our regular office hours. My clinical background includes working with those who are struggling with substance abuse problems, problems in their relationships, dating violence and sexual assault, women’s issues, grief and bereavement, and mental health concerns such as depression, life transitions, anxiety, stress management and coping with experiences of trauma. Although I have experience working with an array of people from all different kinds of backgrounds, I enjoy working with students during such an exciting period of growth in their lives. I am also looking forward to another full year of offering programming opportunities to students; and I hope to meet students not just as a counselor, but also as a consultant if you ever have questions or concerns for others.
Please give us a call at 895-4292 to set an appointment or ask for
information about our services.
