If you are interested in any of the below groups, please follow the link to sign up for a group intake appointment. Once you sign up for your appointment the group leader will reach out via email with more information regarding group start dates and location. 

• Anxiety Toolbox: This group is a 3 week long, structured group which focuses on increasing understanding of anxiety, teaching students coping skills, and helping them form a plan for handling anxiety provoking situations and decreasing intensity of symptoms going forward. This group runs on Wednesdays from 4-5.
• Getting Unstuck: A fast-paced, 3 session forum intended to help increase your understanding and knowledge about depression. The goal is to provide you with some skills to recognize and manage symptoms you may be experiencing. This group runs on Thursdays from 4-5.
• Rebound: Athlete Injury Support Group - Learning to bounce back stronger from sports injuries. Rebound will be designed as a supportive environment for athletes who are recovering from injuries, returning back from injuries, or are experiencing life changes due to a recent or past injury. The group will be a safe space to discuss the complexities of these experiences and also develop strategies to effectively cope.  Information in the group will be expected to remain confidential.

• If the Student Counseling Center is unable to find an appointment that fits your availability we might refer you to another clinic on campus. There are currently two clinics on campus that serve students as well as members of the community. Both of these clinics are training clinics which means 3rd and 4th year students will be meeting with you while being supervised by a licensed professional.
• These clinics also offer appointments after 5 p.m. If either of these clinics would be a good fit for you, you can follow the button below and self-refer to one of these clinics. Once we receive your completed paperwork we will forward the completed referral to the designated clinic, and they will follow up via phone or email with a confirmed appointment time.
