Thank you for your interest in our consultation services. Our hope is that having a brief conversation with a counselor can help mitigate some of the symptoms you may be experiencing due to these unprecedented times.

Consultations are not a clinical service and do not constitute as mental health treatment or counseling session. Rather, they provide students with the opportunity to speak with a counselor about what is important to them in an informal encounter. We will listen to your concerns, provide support and perspective, as well as possible suggestions for resources.

Please read through this informed consent prior to requesting a virtual consultation from the wellness Center.
