Counseling & Psychotherapy
We are here to help
We provide free and confidential personal, career, and educational counseling for a range of concerns.
Accessing services
We offer free counseling services in-person, by telephone or videoconferencing. To initiate services, we provide same day appointments for walk-in intakes Monday through Friday. Students are seen on a first come, first serve basis, so please arrive early. During the intake appointment, your counselor will gather information about you to help determine the best treatment resource for you at the Counseling and Testing Center or with a possible referral to outside services.
Confidentiality
All communication is held in strict confidence. All identifying information, including the fact that you have visited the Counseling and Testing Center, may be released to others only at your written request. The only exception is the unusual situation in which there is clear danger to yourself or to others.
Fees
There is no charge to eligible students except for fees associated with psychological assessment and nominal fees for career and psychological tests.
