All enrolled MSU students are eligible for using the services provided by the Counseling Center, except full-time MSU employees. Non-student spouses or partners of students may be seen in the context of couples counseling with their student partner. All of our services are free for those eligible to receive counseling. We do not make appointments or engage in counseling via e-mail due to concerns for confidentiality and irregular monitoring of incoming messages.
Counseling is confidential for all persons.
All of this being said, there are some exceptions to confidentiality. This may result in concern for the person and a desire to refer them for counseling. We suggest that you first speak to the individual, expressing your concern for them and encourage them to call or come by the Counseling Center to make an appointment. If necessary, you may make the call and let the student make an appointment. If possible, walk the student over to the center and provide support.
