Ilana Licht

As a clinical psychologist and the groups coordinator, I am committed to creating a safe space where students feel seen, heard and understood as they explore their identities and process life’s experiences individually and/or in community. I have a passion for running process and skills-based groups to help students feel more connected, learn additional coping strategies and instill hope for the future. I enjoy working at Student Health Services because of the interdisciplinary team approach and the opportunity to meet students from different cultures and backgrounds.
