The Counseling Center offers a wide variety of services to address student wellbeing needs including individual counseling, group counseling, and specialized workshops on anxiety and depression. All services begin with an initial appointment called a Brief Assessment, in which a student will meet with a counselor to discuss their needs and reasons for seeking services. The goal of this initial meeting is to determine the nature and impact of the students’ concerns and discuss options for addressing these issues. This appointment typically lasts 30 minutes.
For more information, please visit the Counseling Center website. Brief Assessments can additionally be scheduled via telephone by calling 301-314-7651 during hours of operation.
