Counseling Center
Initial Counseling Information
Sometimes when a person is stressed or upset, it can feel difficult to wait for your next appointment time. In some cases, your therapist may be able to schedule an earlier appointment. But, there are some things you can do to manage during those times until a stressor passes, or until you can speak with your therapist.
OUR SERVICES
We offer a variety of services at the Counseling Center. This page offers a brief summary of where to find information about our various services, as well as links to specific pages within our website
OUR APPROACH
The Counseling Center, as part of the Student Life Division, provides students with a wide-range of confidential services. Professional staff help students acquire self-care skills that will support them in their academic environment. Students are challenged to grow interpersonally and develop skills that will assist them in their own unique developmental journey.
