Counseling Services for Students

The Counseling Center’s diverse range of student services is designed to meet you where you are—and give you the resources you need, whether that’s one-on-one counseling, group meetings, or just some advice for some self-care. If you need some guidance in exploring the options available, reach out to the Counseling Center to help create a personal well-being plan that’s right for you.

Self-Care and Self-Maintenance

Self-care is about taking an active role in protecting your own well-being and happiness. Learn how to use these tools on their own or use them in combination with other services to prioritize your health and wellness.
