She hopes to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and empowered as they navigate their own journeys.

A few fun facts about Shayla: she loves competitive video games 🎮, reading 📚, crocheting 🧶, horror movies 🎬, and spending time with her cat, Mewtwo! 🐈

🎉 Welcome to the Counseling Center, Daniel! 🎉

Please join us in welcoming Daniel Fotzeu, M.Ed., to our team! Daniel recently completed Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Temple University. His passion for mental health grew from his own experiences and from seeing friends navigate mental health challenges throughout college—experiences that inspired him to pursue a career supporting others.

Daniel is passionate about helping students navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and prioritize their well-being. 💙

When he’s not working, you can find Daniel on the basketball or soccer field. He’s also a big sports fan, cheering on Penn State, the New England Patriots, and the Atlanta Hawks. When he’s not watching or playing sports, he enjoys video games and reading. 📚🎮🏀⚽

Welcome to the team, Daniel! We’re excited to have you and can’t wait for our students to meet you!

Last week, we had the privilege of welcoming students from BECA High School to DeSales University as they completed their Peer Listener Training. It was inspiring to watch this dedicated group come together with a shared commitment to supporting their peers through mental health challenges. By developing active listening, empathy, and communication skills, these students are helping create a culture where no one has to face struggles alone.
Thank you to these future peer leaders for your dedication to making a difference. We can’t wait to see the positive impact you’ll have back at your school! 🌟

Between 2023 and 2024, the su***de rate among Asian Americans saw the largest increase, rising from 6.3 to 6.8 per 100,000. So, now more than ever, it is critical that the AAPI community feels empowered to reach out for help and that they have access to culturally-relevant mental health care. Together, we can (and must!) support AAPI mental health.
