Specific skills require 2-3 years of previous supervisory experience, strong verbal and written communication skills, ability to establish rapport with students, faculty and staff, and psychotherapy experience with the spectrum of mental health issues, including, but not limited to, depression, mood and anxiety disorders, complex trauma, sexual assault and relationship violence, acculturation and interpersonal difficulties, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and learning disabilities.
