Introducing the new embedded clinician for the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences

The Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences announced that a new embedded clinician, Adriana Cox, will help graduate students take care of their mental health.

Cox is a University Counseling Center staff member who will work exclusively with Dietrich School graduate students to support their well-being. She will be readily available to offer support, guidance and resources to enhance the overall mental health of that community.

With expertise in addressing a wide range of psychological challenges, Cox specializes in assisting individuals dealing with anxiety and depression, adjustment and developmental concerns, interpersonal conflicts, self-esteem issues and concerns related to life transitions. Additionally, she is well-versed in providing guidance on matters like gender identity, sexuality, romantic relationships and substance use concerns. Her compassionate approach extends to supporting those affected by sexual violence/misconduct, racial trauma, and various personal struggles.

Key services provided will include:

• Individual counseling: Confidential one-on-one sessions to address concerns
• Programming: Tailored workshops focusing on stress management, time management, and other relevant topics
• Support groups: Opportunities for graduate students to connect and share experiences in a supportive group setting.

Graduate students can reach Cox by filling out the embedded clinician request form.

Embedded clinician support does not entail urgent or immediate counseling support needs. Any student requiring urgent support for a crisis may call the UCC at 412-648-7930 at any time to speak directly with a clinician.
