Counseling and Mental Health (CMH) partners with the LGBTQ+ Student Center to provide embedded counselors and liaisons for LGBTQ+ students in need of mental health and wellness support. The LGBTQ+SC’s Embedded Counselors serve and support the the larger LGBTQ+ student community, and are located in the LGBTQ+ Student Center (Student Union 415). In addition to the LGBTQ+SC, Embedded Counselors can be found in all Student Equity and Inclusion Programs centers, including: Asian Pacific American Student Services (APASS), the Center for Black Cultural and Student Affairs (CBCSA), the First Gen+ Success Center (FG+SC), La CASA, and the Veterans Resource Center (VRC). Students can also work with embedded therapists with the Office of International Services.  After establishing care, your therapist will discuss your care and a treatment plan to meet your goals. The treatment plan might include additional sessions; referral to psychiatry and medication management; open-ended therapy with an insurance-based private practice (including the Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Services practice, located on the 5th floor of the Engemann Building); or recommendation for an appropriate therapy group in USC Student Health. CMH also provides 30-minute Let’s Talk drop-in sessions, individual 1:1 appointments with a counselor, group counseling, and workshops. Please visit the CMH website for a full list of embedded counselors and liaisons supporting USC’s diverse student community and a full list of CMH counselors who are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, or share other lived experiences.  To learn more about CMH’s services for cultural communities, please visit CMH’s Cultural Communities website.
