There are many reasons why you might seek support from Counseling Services. Our goal is to provide services that respect and support the ever-changing and unique needs and experiences of each individual. We make every effort to collaborate with you in planning treatment and provide flexible options to address the dynamic nature of your life experiences and schedule.

It is helpful to know your hopes and expectations prior to your appointment so we can best support you. It is important to us that you feel supported and affirmed.

  • Initial intake (up to 60 minutes): For all new and returning students seeking brief or ongoing treatment.
  • Follow-up appointment/individual session (45 minutes): For students who have completed an initial intake this academic year and want to begin brief or ongoing treatment.
  • One-time consultation (15-45 minutes): For students seeking to access referrals off campus or resolve a specific matter which may not require brief/ongoing treatment.
  • Urgent appointment (15-30 minutes): For students who require same-day consultation to address a matter needing immediate attention due to impending deadlines for personal decision-making or unexpected disruption to well-being due to a recent/present significant event.

If you are not sure what type of appointment would satisfy your needs, please do not hesitate to contact our office and allow us to assist you in identifying what could best suit your needs.
