What We Support

Counseling supports are thorough, short-term, and goal-focused. Sessions address your mental health concerns, roughly within a semester, to discuss your personal, educational, and relationship concerns. The number of sessions is unlimited.

Our Approach

Our short-term approaches are appropriate for identifying sources of stress and challenges, as well as providing healthy options for overcoming them. Our staff will be able to help you strategize how to best use the resources that are available to you.

Beyond Our Office

Students with concerns outside our scope will be provided assistance in finding the most appropriate mental health care for them. For some concerns, your therapist may recommend a referral to an off-campus agency who will better assist you.
