Appointments

Individual counseling sessions are typically 50 minutes long. Before meeting with a counselor you must complete Consent for Treatment and Confidentiality forms in addition, you will be asked to complete an initial assessment.

Your First Appointment

You can generally be seen within a week of your initial request. Under emergency circumstances, you can often be seen on the same day. It is important to us that students who seek our services do so out of their own choice, so we require all students to make their own appointments.

During the first session, your clinician will help you clarify and facilitate a method of dealing with your concerns. Based on the information presented, they will discuss recommendations for continued health and wellness. If needed, your counselor may discuss referrals to services off-campus.

Scheduling

You may schedule an appointment by emailing, calling, or stopping by our office. You will be asked to complete confidential forms prior to your first visit. These include an Informed Consent form and answering some questions about your concerns, which takes about 10–15 minutes.

Cost

As a ��ݮ��Ƶ student, there is no fee for you to use the Student Counseling Center. Your health insurance company is not notified or billed for our services.
