or Marriage and Family Therapists. Although there is considerable demand for counseling
services, we try to meet with each student as soon as possible after their initial contact
with the center. In case of emergency, students are seen without delay. Several on-going
therapy groups are also offered to help students cope with stresses or issues affecting
them.

such as transition and change, anxiety, relationships, depression, stress management, substance
