Connie Flachs

Connie is the clinical case manager at the Saint Louis University Counseling Center (UCC). She is a licensed clinical social worker who received her B.A. at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and her M.S.W at Washington University's School of Social Work. She believes health is built through connection - to oneself, others, and the communities we live in.

Connie began her working life as a professional dancer, then moved to nonprofits focused on food security and social justice prior to orienting her career around mental health. Connie has experience supporting emerging adults in improving their relationships to food and body, understanding how to regulate their emotions, deepening their relationships with others, and reclaiming their senses of identity and self-worth. She has worked in outpatient, partial hospitalization and residential settings.

Connie has a beautiful blend of clinical, case management and outreach experiences that will allow her to be the glue between the UCC, our on-campus partners and our St. Louis community resources, to ensure our students are held and cared for.
