Meet the 咨询中心工作人员

罗伯特Cardom (he/him), PhD, Director and Licensed Psychologist

Robert earned his PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kentucky, where he completed research and clinical work focused on queer mental health, preventing suicide, and the benefits of racially diverse friend groups.  从那以后，他一直在继续 to focus on college student mental health, with a particular interest in sleep, coping with racial trauma and other identity-based experiences, and training therapists to keep a multicultural lens in their work. As a therapist, he finds meaning in the stories of students, changing the unhelpful deeply-rooted beliefs our experiences have forced us to internalize, and finding new ways of speaking to ourselves.  他也是一个支持者 for healthy boundaries in relationships that ensure that our needs are met while respecting 他人的需要. In the community he is an advocate for suicide prevention and mental health promotion, and he is excited to join the Skidmore 咨询中心’s tradition of hosting the Out of the Darkness Walk.
