Counseling
Counseling provides mental health support for students’ well-being and developmental growth within a safe environment.
Two critical measures of counseling services are unique students served and individual counseling sessions provided.

Top Four CCAPS Areas of Student Stress
The Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms (CCAPS) instrument is an empirically designed clinical questionnaire for college counseling centers. Our students are asked to complete the CCAPS before each counseling session, providing self-reported data about their experiences of distress in 8 areas: Depression, Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Academic Distress, Eating Concerns, Family Distress, Frustration/Anger and Substance Use. A value of “0” indicates little or no stress in a particular area while a value of “4” indicates high levels of stress. Using CCAPS allows us to track internal data year over year to assess trends among our students relative to the national data and to inform our design of clinical informational workshops and group program offerings.
