Debbie McHann is our Health Educator and Eating Disorder Counselor at Student Health Services. She offers free and confidential appointments for a variety of students. Some have found it to be a difficult transition coming to UCSB and now seem to be struggling with anything ranging from body image issues to eating disorder behaviors. Others have come to UCSB with a history of the disorder and are seeking support in their process towards health.

The Registered Dietician (RD) is the Nutrition Specialist for all UCSB students. She offers confidential appointments for busy students who want to eat healthy on a limited budget. If you have a question about diet, weight, food choices, exercise or supplements, she can give you the answer. The RD can work with students one to five times providing education, counseling and referral services. As with all our specialist/clinicians, she is an expert who will not intimidate you with judgments on your lifestyle. Instead she will assist you in finding motivation and making healthier choices.
