Mental Health Matters

The Counseling Center provides mental health services and resources to students — together we can create a thriving community for all students.

Building Closure

The Campus Health Center on Main Campus will be closed Thursday, Oct. 10. All services will be available virtually. The building will reopen Friday, Oct. 11. The Centennial Office Campus will remain open during this time.

Our Providers

Our staff are generalists skilled at responding to a wide range of issues typical of a university counseling center. Counselors also possess individual skills and interests that help them address the needs and issues of our diverse community of students.

Embedded Counseling

As part of our commitment to strengthen wellness services on campus, we are expanding our counseling services beyond the walls of the Counseling Center. Our embedded counseling program is growing with appointments and drop-in hours near you and your classes.

Find mental health support where you are.
