Meet Our Team

Each of our counselors and nurses are licensed by the state of Nebraska.  Most of the counselors hold an independent mental health practitioner license. As you will see from looking at the staff bios, together, we have a range of experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds. Due to the number of students seeking services at UNK Student Health and Counseling, we do not accept requests for specific providers. As a team, we do our best to match students with the provider who has the most experience working with their particular concerns.
