 We do not do mental health testing. Please check out the Psychology Clinic in Terrill Hall 171 or book a Case Management appointment with us so we can help you find other resources.
What about counseling appointment paperwork? How long does it take?
We do require paperwork before all appointments. All our paperwork is done online. In order to access the paperwork, you will need to schedule an appointment with us first. If this is your first appointment with us this semester, paperwork will take 15-25 minutes to complete.

Our office does not offer any testing. The Testing Center at the Gateway center offers academic testing.

We are located in suite 313/311, on the 3rd floor of Chestnut Hall off of Chestnut Street. We also see clients via Zoom, at Maple Hall, and at Frisco.
What are your counseling office's hours?
We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Hours do not differ over the Summer or Winter break. We are closed during holidays when the University is closed.
How much does counseling cost?
This is included in your tuition so there are no extra fees and no insurance needed. This means we normally can only see enrolled students.

Lot 5 is next to Chestnut Hall. You may park where it says Patient Parking and we can validate the parking after your appointment. If you have further questions, please call 940-565-2741.
