For the first time since the 1980s, RWC has a Psychological Services Center, which will be staffed by Dr. Elizabeth Bjick (pronounced Beejick). Dr. Bjick is on campus Mondays and Thursdays. Appointments can be made by calling 558-8765. Dr. Bjick attended Cornell University and Penn State University. Her position here arose from a Success Challenge Grant, the goal of which is to aid in the retention of at-risk students.
Her approach is called Self-Psychology, which focuses on the development of self and overcoming the challenges we face in life. Dr. Bjick believes treatment should happen as a relationship.
Outside of work she loves the outdoors and reading.
The cost for counseling services is covered by UC Student Health Insurance with an $8 co-pay per visit. Those without health insurance will be billed through a low-cost sliding scale fee schedule. There are also one time fees for testing in conjunction with counseling.
