Olivia McDonald-James, MSW, LSW Title TigerWell Outreach Counselor Office Phone 609-258-9471 Email [email protected] Office Holder Hall, Room B44 Bio/Description Education Columbia University, MSW Rutgers University, B.A. Certification Licensed Social Worker (Pennsylvania) Licensed Master Social Worker (New York) Licensed Social Worker (New Jersey, Anticipated) Bio In my role as a TigerWell Outreach Counselor, my goal is to provide students with the space to deeply explore the constellations of their lives. I seek to create a therapeutic relationship that is non-judgmental, anti-oppressive, and attuned to students’ unique needs. In addition to drop-in hours and one-to-one counseling, I collaborate with campus partners such as the Carl A Fields Center, the SHARE office and the GSRC to provide needed programming and workshops. I practice from a holistic perspective that is rooted in the concept of self-love as radical resistance. My values are informed by intersectionality and critical race theory and an appreciation of the ways that structural oppression affects mental health.
