Here is a back ground info on the WU Counseling Services Staff. After all, we all like to know that we are in good hands when we seek any type of counseling!
I saw Marilynn I believe about 3 years ago when I was having problems both personal and school related. She was really attentive and helpful. Also, WU Counseling Services are free of charge which was one of the biggest motivations for me to seek help there!
