Connecting to Help
Walk-in appointments are available for students who want to drop in and meet with a Therapist. These sessions are available as open time permits and all efforts will be made to meet with students. For non-crisis drop ins, appointments can be scheduled for available open times. Virtual sessions can be scheduled with the Therapist as well.
Counseling Services offers a range of services to help you get support you’re seeking, feel less alone, cope more effectively, heal emotional wounds, improve relationships, engage in your academics and college life, and feel more like yourself. Most students take advantage of a combination of these resources, and a Therapist is happy to help you figure out the plan that feels right to you.

TAO is a private online library of engaging, interactive programs to learn life skills and to help you bounce back from disappointments or stumbling blocks in life. As you watch videos and engage with our interactive components, you’ll gain the knowledge, self-awareness, and skills you need to achieve your goals. You can complete TAO at your own pace, whether that’s just one session a day, or perhaps two whole modules. It’s entirely up to you!
