What if I need long term or specialized care?If you require ongoing, intensive, or specialized treatment beyond what we offer, we can help connect you with trusted outside providers.
What if I am located out of state?Due to licensing regulations, counselors can only provide services to students physically located in states where they are licensed. If you are out of state, please visit our Counseling Resources page or seek local providers in your area.
Is everything I share confidential?Yes. Counseling sessions are confidential, and your information will not be shared without your written consent. Exceptions apply only when required by law or ethical guidelines, such as concerns involving safety, abuse, or threats of harm.
