A new mental
health counselor has
been selected to serve
in the Laramie County
Community College
counseling and campus
wellness center.
A similar position
was held by Chris
Clark, a former counselor.
According to Eirin
Grimes, her position
differs from Clark’s
by offering mental
health services that
are more personally
oriented
and that help
people cope
with more
widespread
personal
issues.

New counselor to provide
more personalized services
Counselors are
available from 8
a.m.–5 p.m., but
Grimes’ individual
hours are from noon-
9 p.m. Grimes said
these new hours will
accommodate other
students in sports or
other extracurricular
activities whose
schedules previously
prevented them from
seeking services.
The services
Grimes provides to
students include help
with depression, substance
abuse, anxiety
and roommate
conflicts, which
Grimes said is
most common
so far
with new
freshmen
moving
into the
Residence
Hall.
The changes
to counseling and
campus wellness were
made because of misconnection
with the
students, Grimes said,
Previously, students
and counselors met
for only a 10-minute
time span, so the
change was made to
gain a deeper connection
with residential
students, athletes
and Residence Hall
advisers.
Grimes is a
Laramie native, which
is where she attended
high school, and soon
after she moved to
Philadelphia, where
she received her
bachelor’s in business
and administration at
Villanova University.
She earned master’s
degrees in government
administration
at the University
of Pennsylvania and
counselor education
at the University of
Wyoming. Grimes
held a job on the
LCCC campus as an
academic adviser
before she moved
Eirin Grimes
to the new position
as a mental health
counselor.
“Your first year in
college, especially if
you are a Residence
Hall student living
on campus, can be
the hardest thing
you experience in
college life, considering
you’re away from
home, and these new
people are almost
forced to become
your new family and
friends,” Grimes said.
“It is my primary job
to let you all know
that you are not alone
with any issues you
are struggling with, so
stop by my office, and
I will see that your
needs are dealt with
in a healthy, responsible
manner, with
the correct amount of
time dedicated to any
conflicts you may be
having.”
Grimes’ office
is situated across
the hall from where
student IDs are issued
or diagonally across
the hall from the
Emporium. Her
office number is
307-778-1150.
