Counseling Center Services

Individual and confidential counseling with trained therapists.  We take a student-centered, evidence based approach that best fits your needs.  You have the option to choose your counselor or take the first available.  Counseling is for anyone who may be going through a difficult time, who would like an objective listener, or who is looking for help.  If you don't feel the counselors here are a good fit for you, we will do our best to refer you to someone in the community.

The Student Counseling Center offers several options for those seeking group counseling or education.  Depending on the nature of your concern, group therapy can be an ideal choice for addressing those concerns and making positive changes in your life.  Some of the groups available are:

• RA Group
• Grief and Loss Group
• SAD Workshop
• Test Anxiety
• Interpersonal Group (starting Winter 2015)
• Stress and Coping Workshop

Virtually all college students experience the effects of college drinking - whether they drink or not.  The Student Counseling Center offers free, confidential education on alcohol or other substances that is researched-based.  We also provide risk assessment for students who require it.

Some programs that we offer are:

CANS - Cardinals Avoiding Negative Situations - a brief alcohol abuse prevention and harm reduction program.  It is presented as a one-session, interactive discussion course for students who have been referred for or would like alcohol education.

CHOICES - a brief alcohol abuse prevention and harm reduction program for students who have been referred for alcohol education as a result of conduct/policy violation.  It is a two-session, interactive journaling and discussion course.

BASICS - Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention of College Students - targets students who drink alcohol heavily, have faced legal consequences as a result of their drinking, or have experienced or are at risk for alcohol-related problems such as poor class attendance, missed assignments, accidents, sexual assault, and violence.

Marijuana 101 - a fast-paced, relevant, and individualized online course for students who have received a conduct/policy violation for marijuana use.  It consists of an individual assessment with a Student Counseling Center therapist and an online class.
