My name is Tanya Dow, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of NY. I have been working with college students for most of my professional career, including academic counseling, advising, and mental health counseling. I have been working at SUNY Potsdam for the past 18 years. I enjoy supporting students in their efforts to become happier, more fulfilled, and more comfortable with their sense of self as they navigate this transitional time in life. I hope to provide my students with a space to explore and work towards positive change utilizing approaches such as CBT, Positive Psychology, and Person-Centered therapy, among others.
Some of the things I enjoy doing to support my own mental health include working out, spending time outdoors, and expressing my creativity with home and garden DIY projects. I look forward to meeting you.
