Oberlin College has contracted with University Hospitals of Cleveland to provide psychiatric services for Oberlin students. Farah Munir, D.O. is a board certified psychiatrist and holds office hours in the Counseling Center part time during the academic year. At Oberlin the psychiatrist works in conjunction with staff psychologists in the Counseling Center and medical staff in Student Health Services to provide a holistic approach to treatment. It is our goal to provide quality mental health care and services by assessing each student’s individual needs, and determining the best way to meet those needs. Students expressing a desire to meet with the psychiatrist will initially be scheduled to consult with a professional staff member in the Counseling Center for an assessment, regardless of past or current treatment. All students utilizing the services of Dr. Munir will also be required to provide evidence of a psychotherapeutic relationship with a licensed mental health provider in the Oberlin/Cleveland area. In some cases, this relationship will be with a psychologist in the Counseling Center. In others a referral will be made to a private practitioner in the Oberlin area for ongoing support and psychotherapy. Please schedule an appointment with one of the Counseling Center staff psychologists to discuss your interest in meeting with the psychiatrist.
