Getting Started with Counseling
If you're interested in counseling, your first step is to schedule an initial consultation with one of our clinicians. During this session, we'll discuss your concerns and explore the best options for support. Our team is committed to helping students identify and access the most appropriate services for their unique situations, which may include follow-up sessions at our center. We will assess these options further in the consultation:
- A consultation, by appointment, to determine treatment needs and options
- Brief and focused individual therapy
- Emergency/crisis intervention
- Assistance with referrals for accessing care off-campus
- Assistance with medical documentation and referrals to on-campus supports
- Outreach events, groups and workshops
- Medication evaluations
- Educational materials
