Spring 2023 Counseling Center Staff and Interns

 

As we approach the end of the Fall 2023 semester, please note that available services are limited.

Students who are interested in brief support for academic and other types of stress are encouraged to schedule a Single Session Therapy appointment or utilize other support resources such as Let's Talk.

Students who are interested in ongoing counseling may: 1) schedule a Needs Assessment with the understanding that they will likely only have one session this semester; 2) choose to wait until the start of Spring 2024 to connect with us; OR 3) contact our office to receive case management support to connect with a community provider.
