Services

Counseling offers assistance with your personal growth. Counseling helps you understand yourself and your difficulties, and ultimately make healthy choices in your life.

SCS offers students brief counseling services (individual, group, couples, crisis consultation) on a variety of presenting concerns. If you are seeking specialized or intensive clinical services that require meeting with the same therapist beyond one semester or more than once per week, we recommend receiving care by a specialist in the local community.

SCS can partner with you in the referral process if necessary. Additionally, if you currently work with a professional in your hometown and can continue to see them, we recommend you continue with your current provider.
