Students can access counseling services as many times as necessary.
How long will each counseling session take?
Sessions will last 45-50 minutes.
Is there a charge for counseling services visits?

Will counseling visits be submitted to health insurance?

How, when, and where are sessions conducted?
Counseling can be conducted either remotely, via secure video conferencing, or in person at the Counseling Center.
