Our personal therapy services support students in their academic success and personal development. Our services are personalized, confidential and do not transfer with academic records. We have a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) that can provide up to six free therapy sessions per student per semester. Therapists also provide referrals for any mental health treatments that require long term or specialized care, such as: medication evaluation, drug and alcohol treatment, diagnostic testing, and treatment of serious mental health disorders or hospitalization.

MindWise screening

The college years are an exciting time of personal growth, but they can also bring academic, social, and financial pressures, which can worsen underlying mental health and substance use issues. Brief screenings are the quickest way to determine if you or someone you care about should connect with a mental health professional.
Students can take the screening on their phone, a laptop, or tablet, anonymously, free and from the privacy of their own place. Immediately following the brief questionnaire, you will see your results, recommendations, and key resources.
