CAPS support designed for Engineering students
Engineering students and other students can now access Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) support on site at 188 Rhodes Hall.
Rhodes Hall 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 Rhodes Hall are ...
- designed to meet the needs of Engineering students; open to all students
- offered by CAPS counselor Heather Wimmer-Haman, PsyD
- provided at 188 Rhodes 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 Heather'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.
Individual counseling
Heather provides single-session therapy and short-term individual counseling from her office at 188 Rhodes Hall, as well as by Zoom.
Students wishing to schedule a counseling appointment with Heather should first schedule a CAPS access appointment. During this free 25-minute appointment, you can discuss your concerns with an access counselor, and request a counseling appointment with Heather.
To schedule a CAPS access appointment:
- Log in to myCornellHealth using your Cornell NetID and password, and select "Appointments"
- Or call Cornell Health during business hours to speak with a scheduler: 607-255-5155
Follow-up counseling appointments may be scheduled with Heather directly, or by calling 607-255-5155.
Students may also ask to schedule counseling appointments with other Cornell Health therapists. Learn more on our Individual Counseling page.
