The Center for Psychological and Counseling Services offers services to the university community and the general public in the following areas:

Psychotherapy/Counseling

Psychotherapy/Counseling is the use of psychological means to assist clients in addressing and overcoming issues that cause distress. Psychotherapy/counseling sessions are typically conducted for individuals, couples/family and groups.

Play Therapy

Children express more of themselves through play than speech. Therefore, play therapy is recommended to address children’s difficulty in adjusting to stressors (i.e. death, loss, trauma etc). Trained play therapists create a safe atmosphere to allow children to express themselves and work through their problems. Children are able to communicate or play out how they feel to the therapist leading to improved ability to cope with the difficulties. Therefore, play therapy is to children what counseling is to adults.

Psychological Assessment

Psychological assessments are tests that are administered to help assess clients’ functioning in various areas. Psychological assessments are also used to obtain information pertinent to diagnoses of mental health conditions. These tests may be used to assess the following areas:
•    Cognitive / Intellectual Functioning
•    Personality
•    Depression, Anxiety, other symptoms
•    Coping and Adjustment

Psychoeducation

Psychoeducation is a form of education aimed at increasing awareness of mental health issues and preventing mental illness. In psychoeducation clients and their significant others gain information on how to manage, cope and care for others with mental illness.
