Services Offered
All services are confidential. During peak times of the semester when student needs and student volume are the greatest, the staff may only be able to provide one or two sessions for students to help clarify immediate counseling needs. Shorter session times may also be an option to address student needs during these times. Services are available during the academic calendar year which includes the summer semester. Services are limited when school is not in session.
Please call 906-635-2752 to contact Counseling Services. If you get our voicemail, please leave a message. We will get back to you as soon as possible. If you prefer, you may stop by and speak to someone in person or leave a message at the receptionist desk in the office.
Personal Counseling
Counseling Services provides a supportive and private environment for discussing and exploring personal concerns and developing skills to promote mental health, life balance and overall well being. Counseling Services promotes self-learning, problem solving, decision making and facilitates insight and self-discovery. Counselors can provide information and support to help students solve problems, achieve goals and feel better.
Our individual services are designed to be short-term. Often a few individual meetings, and sometimes even one consultative session, can help you better identify, understand, and resolve the barriers that may be interfering with your sense of personal well being and/or academic success.
Consultation
Counseling Services provides consultation to students seeking information about issues related to mental health, well being, relationships or about how to help others in their lives.
Phone consultation for more information about counseling services is also available. If you’re not sure you want to come in to the counseling office right away or you want to bounce the situation off someone else, call for a 10-15 minute phone consultation. Call 906-635-2753 or on campus, 2752.
Referral
Referrals to other university and community resources are provided by Counseling Services when requested or when appropriate. Community mental health referrals may be made when a student’s mental health condition or circumstances exceed the resources or scope of services available from Counseling Services. Students are responsible for the fees for any of the community referral resources.
Outreach/Education
Counseling Services collaborates with other university departments to provide workshops focusing on mental health related issues including prevention and wellness. Counselors are also available to assist in outreach efforts for other students you may be concerned about. Call to talk with a counselor if you have concerns about a fellow student. Call 906-635-2753 or on campus, 2752.
Web Based Services
Counseling Services’ website offers a variety of resources including self-help resources, on-line screening and crises/emergency contacts.
