Counseling and mental health support services are free and confidential for all currently enrolled RUC students, both undergraduate and graduate. Services include short-term individual counseling, crisis intervention and mental health consultation and referrals.
Counseling needs can include but are not limited to: personal concerns; managing multiple stressors; support with coping strategies and/or behavioral modification plans; increased symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other signs of emotional destress; interpersonal concerns or conflicts; changes in mood or functioning.
You and your counselor will determine an appropriate plan to address your counseling needs. If you require more specialized services, your counselor may provide a referral to appropriate outside treatment providers.
If you are interested in starting services, please send us an email or call 540-831-1691 to schedule your first appointment. During your first appointment, you will meet with a clinician for a 30-minute initial consultation where you and the clinician will talk about your concerns and decide on a support plan to address your counseling needs.
If a student requires more intensive services or longer-term counseling, local treatment options and potential referrals will be offered.
