The college years are a time of accelerated growth, significant challenges and considerable stress. Counseling Services is here to help you with the variety of concerns that arise during these intense years. We provide students with an opportunity to explore concerns and problems with a professional psychotherapist in a confidential setting. Our mental health counselors and psychiatrists provide ongoing private and group counseling to support mental health needs and medication management as appropriate.
Free, Brief Individual Consultation & Counseling
Undergraduate and graduate students can schedule an initial consultation with a therapist by calling or emailing our office to make an appointment. Counseling Services will offer resources to assist you in meeting your social, emotional and academic goals.
