<p>We provide psychiatric services and offer medication in the treatment of some emotional problems. Psychiatric services can be an important part of the process of counseling and psychotherapy. Students may see our psychiatrists on the recommendation of their clinician. Psychiatric medicines are prescribed only to those students who are in therapy with a clinician from Counseling Services.</p>

<p>Most students who seek services at Counseling Services are seen for short-term counseling. Some students will be referred to off campus practitioners when they have the need for more long-term, specialized, or intensive treatment than we can provide.</p>

<p>There are no charges for the services provided by University Counseling Services.</p>

<p>We encourage students to consult with Counseling Services if they are worried about a friend or roommate. Students can speak confidentially with a counselor about a friend and receive advice about how to deal with a troubling situation. Consultations can be obtained by making an appointment with an Counseling Services clinician.</p>

<p>A clinician is &#34;on call&#34; at all times. Students who need urgent assistance may speak with the psychological emergency clinician and decide what further services may be needed. Students seen on emergency typically are in crisis and cannot wait for a regularly scheduled appointment.</p>

<p>Students consult Counseling Services for a wide range of problems and concerns. Among the matters that bring students to counseling are adjustment difficulties, problems in relationships, situational crises, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and substance abuse.
