All clients are given a psychological symptoms assessment tool to aid in identifying a diagnosis and the level of treatment needed.

Counseling Services does not provide psychological testing, including ADHD testing, but can provide referrals to the community for students seeking these services.

Case management services are available for students who need assistance connecting to campus or community resources for such reasons as facing food or housing insecurity, academic assistance, or financial difficulties.

Counseling Services provides consultation to faculty, staff, students, and parents. Reasons for consultation may vary, but some examples might be, concern about a student or guidance on handling an interpersonal situation.

Couples counseling is offered to student’s in relationships as long as one of the parties is a current enrolled student. If the member(s) of a couple is not the enrolled student and needs individual counseling, their counselor will refer them to the community.

Group counseling allows participants to learn skills and process stressors from a counselor and their peers usually around a specific issue or topic. We offer both closed groups to counseling services clients and open groups to any student in the ASU community.

Individual counseling allows a student to meet with a therapist to work together to develop a treatment plan in order for you to achieve your mental health goals. Due to the high level of student demand for individual counseling, students are typically seen on an every other week basis. If students need to be seen more frequently, Counseling Services can help provide community referrals.

Counseling Services provides mental health awareness, education, and training to promote a safe and healthy campus community. We are happy to provide student groups, departments, classes, or organizations with mental health education. Please visit Outreach for more information on how to schedule an outreach or training.
