CLINICAL SERVICES
College can be an exciting time of new challenges and new problems. If you find yourself overwhelmed with issues like stress or family matters, a licensed therapist is available to help you. Community referrals are made when deemed necessary.
BECAUSE YOU ASKED
In an effort to better serve our students, we wanted to give you a chance to ask questions that concern mental health issues. Not all questions can be addressed in a public format, nor is this meant to replace a face to face meeting with a mental health professional. We reserve the right to judge which questions we will answer in this forum and edit questions to hide identifying information. We will not be able to carry on a dialogue with you about your specific concern, but referral sources are offered for on-campus and off-campus places for you to get help.
You may also visit the Because You Asked Answer Forum where you will find answers to previous questions.
The counseling staff hopes students, will always feel comfortable about dropping in or calling ahead to set up an appointment.
