Your first appointment will begin with a 30 minute triage appointment with a staff clinician. The clinician will help assess the nature and urgency of your problem so that we can help you make the most appropriate next step to assist you.
When you contact our office you will be scheduled for this 30 minute face to face triage appointment. This is a specific time reserved for you. You will be asked a number of questions and have the opportunity to discuss your personal situation and ask questions of the clinician.
At the end of the session, appropriate options will be reviewed with you. These could include an appointment for individual therapy, a referral to case management, and/or a referral to other resources on campus or in the community that can help address your concerns. Crisis and urgent appointments are available when needed. The Health and Wellness Center is a short term counseling agency. If you need or are interested in a longer term therapy relationship, we can advise you about setting up services in the community.
