The Counseling and Testing Center offers individual counseling, group counseling, and couples counseling. Trained psychologists, counselors, social workers, counseling and psychology interns, and graduate assistants provide all services. Ideally, our services are designed for students who can benefit from short-term counseling. Because of the high demand for counseling appointments, individual counseling sessions are usually scheduled once every two weeks. Typically, however, counseling groups meet weekly and are not limited to six sessions per semester.
Students come to the counseling center with a variety of concerns.
Some of the more frequent concerns include adjustment to college, relationships, depression, anxiety and stress, substance abuse, eating concerns, academic concerns, and career and vocational issues. Students experiencing immediate crises may come to the Center and, without an appointment, meet with the Crisis Counselor.
