Health and Counseling Services exists to help you maintain a good state of health through early diagnosis and treatment of illness and injuries and through preventative medical care, including health education. A medical practitioner and a registered nurse provide medical services fall and spring semesters, September through mid-May. Services are available by appointment. Health and Counseling Services is located in the Woodward House-Newberg campus.
The counseling staff consists of doctoral-level students supervised by the program director, a licensed psychologist. Individual counseling with a focus on using short-term techniques is provided for students who wish to discuss a wide variety of personal concerns. Sessions are normally planned weekly and usually last about one hour. Marriage and premarital counseling, crisis intervention, testing, and referrals are also available. Counseling sessions are by appointment only.
Professional services such as counseling and health care are provided at no cost to full-time undergraduate students. Laboratory and X-ray testing are arranged through an outside provider and are billed to your medical insurance. Fees may be charged for supplies.
