Embedded Counselor for the INFO College

By placing counselors onsite, the Counseling Center makes it easier for INFO students to get mental health services, and offers more direct access for faculty and staff to consult with a mental health professional about how to best support students. Additionally, being embedded in the College of Information provides the context needed to tailor services and programs to the unique needs of INFO students.

To schedule a clinical appointment with Monique, you can use the online scheduling system or contact her via email at mmcinty2@umd.edu to schedule.

Monique is not currently available for unscheduled sessions with students. Urgent services are available to any UMD students in person at the Shoemaker Building during business hours or by phone at (301) 314-7651 outside of business hours.

Your visits with your Embedded Counselor and any other Counseling Center staff are confidential. Your counselor will NOT share information about you with your program’s faculty, staff, or anyone else.

Just like with all Counseling Center services, meeting with the Embedded Counselor is free of charge.

Just because you are an INFO student does not mean that your appointment has to be with your Embedded Counselor. Additional Counseling Center services and providers are available for any UMD students at the Shoemaker Building.

The Embedded Counselor is available to consult with INFO faculty and staff regarding any concerns they may have about a student’s mental health and how to best support the student. The Embedded Counselor may also provide general guidance on best practices for bolstering student mental health and wellbeing within the College of Information.

Yes! Monique provides outreach programming focused on mental health education and awareness tailored to INFO College. Programs are available for student groups, classes, program departments, and other groups of faculty or staff by request. Regardless of the audience, the focus of this programming will be on improving student mental health and wellbeing. To request an outreach program, email Monique at  or submit a Counseling Center outreach request.
