Message from Student Health

Hello Military-Connected Students,

I wanted to introduce myself as a Psychologist on this campus since February of 2018. Prior to coming on board here at CSUSM I worked at the San Diego VA in their Tele Mental Health clinic. I also spent two years of clinical training on the PTSD clinical Team in the Salt Lake City, UT VA while in graduate school. In 2016-17 I worked at the Veterans Medical Research Foundation (VMRF) attached to the VA in La Jolla for a year on a comparison treatment study as the therapist for Prolonged Exposure for PTS. I have been trained in Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) which are both evidence-based treatments for trauma and PTS. I have also been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia to treat insomnia and specific sleep disorders.  In addition to working with trauma I like to work with depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment, academic performance, and I definitely work with relationship and interpersonal dynamics. I find it essential to address the multicultural factors and various identities that my clients and I bring to therapy.

During fall and spring semesters your student fees for mental health services here at Student Health and Counseling Services are automatically withdrawn with all of your other student fees.

**Great news to share for the summer. The $88 mental health fee has been waived for the summer so you are eligible for our services if you are registered for summer or fall classes here at CSUSM. Please contact the front desk or any of our staff to discuss eligibility.

*All of our services will continue to be teletherapy via Zoom until further notice.

All of our mental health services are provided by teletherapy via Zoom until further notice or changes are made regarding COVID-19 campus policies.

Please contact Dr. Stevenson directly at rstevenson@csusm.edu to schedule an appointment, or SHCS has two scheduled walk-in appointments every morning and afternoon, which is a first come, first served basis. You can request who you see if they are available. I am also happy to help get you connected with VA or Vet Center services in the area if that is your preference.
