Counseling & Psychological Services (CPS) Counseling and Psychological Services offers short-term counseling services to undergraduate and graduate students struggling with emotional and psychological difficulties. Our faculty counselors work with students to foster personal and academic growth and success. CPS services include individual and group counseling, outreach, and crisis intervention. To avoid dual relationships, students who receive counseling services through CPS may not concurrently or subsequently work at CPS (as a practicum student, intern, student worker or graduate assistant, etc.). Psychological services are provided by doctoral and master's level licensed mental health professionals. Services are also provided by master’s and doctoral level student counselors in-training under professional faculty counselor supervision. Students who require more intensive, long-term, or specialized psychological services not offered by CPS will be offered referrals to appropriate services in the community. Counseling services provided by CPS are confidential, within the limits of applicable laws.
