John Kolligian, director of Georgetown University's counseling and
psychiatric service, has been named director of the counseling and
psychological services unit of Princeton University Health Services.
Kolligian,
whose appointment is effective immediately, has directed the clinical
and administrative operations at Georgetown's counseling service since
2003. Prior to that, he spent nine years as a senior psychologist and
coordinator of psychology training at Columbia University. His clinical
interests include adolescent self-esteem and identity development,
psychological trauma, and stress and coping among highly successful
individuals.
"I'm excited about becoming an active participant in a
university culture that is firmly committed to advancing the health,
mental health and wellness of its community," Kolligian said. "For me,
there's nothing more meaningful than playing a facilitating role in our
students' psychological development, health and well-being -- whether
it be removing impediments to learning or expediting emotional growth.
At Princeton, we have all the ingredients to raise the bar for how a
campus community-based health care model can work and flourish."
