Counseling provides an opportunity for students to explore personal concerns and to obtain help in making changes in their lives.
People use the service for reasons as varied as people themselves.
Some typical reasons are relations with peers or parents, depression or stress, concerns with academic progress or direction, questions regarding career choice, and confusion regarding personal identity. The UCS professional staff includes licensed clinical psychologists, licensed professional counselors, a licensed clinical social worker, a consulting psychiatrist, psychology interns, psychiatric residents, and advanced graduate students in social work, rehabilitation counseling, counselor education and psychology. Consultation and referral services are available for faculty and staff. Counseling services are free to all students. There is a small fee for testing services.
