The Counseling Center reserves the right to refer any one who we believe will be better served by an outside provider. Counseling Center staff members are committed to helping you get the most out of your college experience by offering individual counseling in which you can explore in a confidential setting concerns including but not limited to:
Our staff members work from a short-term orientation, emphasizing client strengths and healthy coping skills. Other services include various psycho-educational workshops and mental health awareness seminars administered in group settings in cooperation with a variety of campus entities. These are designed to enhance your knowledge in key areas of mental and emotional health and to teach more effective strategies for coping with problems.Access to the psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioner is strictly limited to those students actively involved in counseling. Clients interested in a medication consultation must first work with a counselor to determine the most appropriate course of action. Failure to make and keep counseling appointments will result in the loss of psychiatric consultation appointments. Please note that the psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioner are available on a limited basis throughout the fall and spring semesters only. Psychiatric services at the LUCC cannot be accessed during summer, academic breaks, or outside of the providers' scheduled consultation hours. Clients must make arrangements with other providers in order to continue care outside of the fall and spring semesters. Referrals to outside psychiatric providers will be provided upon request."
