Counseling Services

What services do we offer?

Counseling offers assistance with your personal growth. Counseling helps you understand yourself and your difficulties, and ultimately make healthy choices in your life. Below are links/short descriptions of some services that we offer to full-time students at Miami University.

Individual Counseling

Group Counseling

Psychoeducation workshops and programs (e.g., stress management, depression, romantic relationships)

Consultation about various issues for faculty, staff and students, e.g., "when should I refer a student to counseling?"

Drug/Alcohol Abuse Evaluations (e.g., Substance Abuse Assessments mandated by the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution)

ADD/ADHD Screenings If formal evaluation beyond our scope is needed, specific referrals will be provided

Career exploration and counseling to help you decide on a major or career path

National Testing (e.g., GRE, LSAT, MCAT)

Medical Withdrawal for some students who need to medically withdraw due to mental health issues.

Referral Guidelines: because Student Counseling Services operates from a short-term model, counselors will at times refer longer term treatment to other professionals and services. Read here, the guidelines that counselors use to make decisions about referral.

How do I make an appointment?

Call 529-4634 during our business hours (8AM to 5PM). The receptionist will arrange for an initial session. The purpose of the initial session is to identify your problems and to explore how to best meet your needs. The counselor that you meet with will explore with you the various options available to you and will help you to make a decision among these options. In an emergency, we work hard to see you as soon as possible. If you have any questions about any of our services, if you would like to consult about a situation, or if you would like to schedule an appointment, please give us a call.
