Counseling Services Available for Students

University Counseling Services offers individual, group, and couples counseling to currently enrolled students.  University Counseling Services can also provide assessments and referrals to other appropriate healthcare providers and services. 

Counseling Services Available for Faculty and Staff

The Employee Assistance Program is available to provide assistance to University faculty and staff who may be experiencing difficult personal problems. Employee Assistance Program services include individual and family counseling, psychological evaluations and referrals, substance abuse treatment and similar services.
