Located within the Student Health Center, the Center for Counseling & Psychological Services is comprised of mental health professionals who work with students to resolve personal and interpersonal difficulties, many of which can affect their academic experience.
These concerns include conflicts with or worry about friends or family, issues with eating or drinking patterns, and feelings of anxiety and depression. Although some concerns are more frequent than others, students’ experiences are quite varied.
The professional staff help each student to better understand and work through their concerns via counseling in various formats.
CCPS can provide appropriate referrals to community resources in the case that a student’s needs cannot be accommodated within our treatment model. We work closely with the Student Health psychiatry team who can assess whether medication should be used to help students with their emotional and mental health issues.
