TAKING CARE OF YOU
The Health and Wellness Center includes the Counseling department and Student Accessibility Services. Located in the Rotunda building, we offer support for all students facing any challenges in their personal, professional, and academic lives.
COUNSELING
Support You Need, People You Trust
No matter where you’re coming from, you may encounter challenges that affect your academic and personal progress during your time in college. Counseling services are available to all students. Our personal and mental health counselors give one-on-one counseling and support concerning a wide range of topics, from anxiety and depression to substance abuse and grief. And as always, this student support is personalized, confidential, and free of charge.
