Wellness Center Counseling and Health Services

The college experience is an exciting and often stressful experience.  Students are often balancing academic demands with other life roles. 

Students who are new to campus are adjusting to living in a new environment, new friends and academic pressures.  Other students are attending college with a pre-existing mental health condition. 

Counselors and Social Workers are available to assist you with the adjustment to college, relationship difficulties and developing skills to manage mental health symptoms that interfere with your academic, social or work functioning. 

Counselors and Social Workers provide a confidential, non-judgmental environment to assist you to increase self-understanding, learn healthy ways express and manage difficult emotions, access on and off campus resources, and learn and practice skills to support the change you are seeking.

Please complete the New Client Paperwork form and the CCAPS assessment here to begin the process.  It should take about 15 minutes to complete the paperwork.

For additional questions, email the Wellness Center at Wellness.Center@msj.edu or call 513-244-4949.
