Each of our counselors is a professional, licensed clinician or is supervised by a licensed clinician and has extensive experience in the field of mental health. We consider it an honor and privilege to come alongside students as they navigate the challenging years of higher education. Our primary goal is to provide a safe and objective place where students can freely discuss issues or problems without concern of any disciplinary response or of information being shared with anyone else.
