Meet MacKenzie
CAPS counselor MacKenzie Enderwitz, PsyD provides counseling and consultation for Human Ecology, Public Policy, and other students on site at Martha Van Rensselaer Hall.
CAPS support in Martha Van Rensselaer Hall
Students in Human Ecology and Public Policy – as well as other students taking classes in Martha Van Rensselaer (MVR) – can now access Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) support on site at 2221 Martha Van Rensselaer Hall.
MVR is one of CAPS' Embedded Therapist sites through which ongoing mental health support is provided from satellite locations across campus. The goal is to supplement CAPS’ offerings at Cornell Health with convenient, on-site services tailored to specific student audiences.
Embedded therapist services at MVR are ...
- designed to meet the needs of Human Ecology and Public Policy students; open to all students
- offered by CAPS counselor MacKenzie Enderwitz, PsyD
- provided at 2221 Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, as well as by Zoom (see services and hours below)
- offered to supplement Cornell Health's full breadth of services
Services include:
- "Let's Talk" drop-in consultation (free)
- Individual counseling ($10 visit charge)
"Let's Talk" drop-in consultation
Let’s Talk is a drop-in service that allows students to consult informally with a Cornell Health counselor without an appointment. Consultations are offered first-come, first-served, and are typically about 20-25 minutes in length. (Note that Let's Talk is not a substitute for counseling, and not appropriate for urgent concerns or mental health emergencies.) Learn more about Let's Talk.
Please check back for MacKenzie's Let's Talk hours.
Students may also access other Let's Talk hours, locations, and providers. See our main Let's Talk page for details.
