Don is currently providing phone and Zoom video counseling sessions for all registered Haas students (i.e., undergraduate, FTMBA, EWMBA, Executive MBA, MFE and PhD students).
However, due to licensing laws, you must be located in the state of California to be eligible to receive on-going telecounseling services. One-time consultations are possible if you are located out-of-state and are interested in an assessment and then local referrals in the state where you currently reside.
Don believes that striving for wellness and wholeness is an important part of any success strategy. He can help you make progress with any number of issues you may be struggling with at this time or anytime during your Haas experience. No issues are too small or too large for you to reach out for support, new insights, new skills and a new perspective to help you better manage your current stress.
Types of Services Available
If you are a Haas student in need of a single-session consultation, regular counseling
sessions or campus and community referrals (including medication, DSP academic
accommodations, group support, SHIP Teladoc referrals, and/or longer-term, private, specialized psychotherapy), please contact Dr. Don Capone.
