Counseling + Mental Health Support

Counseling and mental health staff are available to assist with a variety of concerns, including academic issues, relationship conflicts, problems with alcohol use, unwanted sexual contact, and depression or anxiety. Our staff consists of both male and female professionals who are trained and experienced in dealing with issues specific to university students. Many have special interests in areas such as eating concerns, academic concerns, relationship issues, alcohol and other drugs, and chronic illnesses.

We encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our staff members to discuss personal concerns and to develop new ways of resolving issues. Available services include individual, couple, family, or group meetings, depending on your needs. A variety of counseling and support groups specifically designed for students are offered each year.

Confidentiality
The confidentiality of all records and other medical information about patients at HUHS is protected to the full extent of the law and follows the ethical practice guidelines of the medical, psychiatric, and psychological professions.  HUHS records from the Mental Health Service are kept separately from general medical records.  Records of both types are kept in secure locations within HUHS and are available only to the HUHS staff members directly involved in a specific case.  Written authorization from the student is necessary to release record information to any third party except in highly unusual circumstances that are required by law.  In the interest of coordinating your health care within HUHS, Bureau of Study Counsel counselors and Mental Health Service clinicians may consult with each other and share records.  To review the complete text of the HUHS Confidentiality Policy, click here.
