Warbasse trained at Mental Health Services as a masters and doctoral student and completed her Psychology Internship year at UHS in 2007. Warbasse joined MHS staff in December of 2014. Warbasse primarily works with health professions students (PA, PT, and medical students) and facilitates Let’s Talk sessions at the Multicultural Student Center and the Center for Educational Opportunity.
Warbasse is from the Philippines and has lived in different places across the world, including the United Arab Emirates, Greece, Canada, and Singapore. Warbasse was drawn to MHS and college mental health care because she loved her college years. What she finds compelling about working with students is hearing about their life stories and reflecting on the processes of growth and change.
