The Counseling Center is committed to helping you benefit as much as possible from your experience here at ASU.  This support may include helping you to perform better academically, to cope with your emotions, or to be more effective in your relationships with others.  The University environment can be exciting and challenging.  It also can be highly stressful since you may face academic pressures as well as pressures from family, friends, and loved ones at the same time.  While we work with students who may be experiencing a crisis, our goal is to help you deal with your concerns before they develop into more serious problems.

Counseling Center services are performed by psychologists and counselors, counseling interns, and counseling practicum students.  All full time staff members are licensed mental health practitioners and services are always performed by those whose skills and training are appropriate to the task.

The Counseling Center is a department within the division of Student Affairs.  Our mission is to provide services not just at the Center, but also to the entire ASU community.  Center staff provide lectures and workshops at sites across campus, in the residence halls, and to student organizations.  Center staff are also available for consultation to academic departments and other University offices.  In addition, staff sometimes teach courses offered through the University College and the College of Education.
