Diversity and Inclusion
The Department of Mental Health and Counseling Services aims to embrace all aspects of a student’s identity and experience. Licensed Mental Health Professionals honor the ways in which ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, culture, religion, and/or positionally can influence one’s mental health and well being. Awareness of systems of injustice and clinician cultural humility are central to the services provided within DMHCS.

The Department of Mental Health and Counseling Services Telehealth services are conducted through Zoom for Healthcare.
