As your Counseling Services staff, we strive to meet your psychological needs by providing a safe, supportive, and confidential environment that empowers you to explore personal and interpersonal concerns. We are here to promote self-awareness, teach effective strategies, encourage responsibility and respect, and celebrate diversity.
We offer regular appointments; however, we are not in a position to offer standing weekly appointments. We are able to offer clients our next open time, or work with them to get connected to a community provider who can see them more frequently. Since we see all enrolled students, we need to be fair and realistic about scheduling. In urgent or crisis situations we might schedule more than one appointment with a student during a brief period until a situation is resolved.
Making an appointment is as simple as calling 920-832-6574, or walking over to the Health and Counseling Center, which is on the west side of campus next to Colman Hall. This year, rather than completing a paper intake form, we have 2 computers available at the Health and Counseling Center for you to enter all necessary information. We request that you come in at any time on the day of your appointment, to complete the forms prior to beginning counseling. To make this process more understandable we have compiled a list of FAQs. If you're interested in reading the Consent Form in it's entirety, it's available here.
