Additional Services

  • Counseling

    Effective counseling is an active process that requires open and honest communication between client and counselor. Together, the client and counselor assess the client's concerns and make decisions for the most appropriate direction for support and/or change.
  • Accessibility Services

    Accessibility Services is the institutionally recognized program designated to provide both federally mandated services as well as proactive services for students with disabilities, by ensuring equal access. By providing leadership, advocacy, resources, mediation, and guidance to students with disabilities, Accessibility Services assists students with identifying barriers to their success and thus identifying ways to address those barriers.

Group Sessions

The Center for Behavioral Health and Accessibility offers group sessions to assist with stress, anxiety, addiction, and more.
