How much does it cost?
Counseling services are offered to all CSU students free of
charge. Counseling service consultations are available to CSU
faculty and staff, including assistance to off-campus referrals.
What about counselor qualifications?
Our counselors are Master’s level graduates of regionally accredited professional counselor and/or counselor education programs, have completed extensive counseling internships, and are certified as mental health practitioners. They also frequently attend professional conferences and workshops to remain up-to-date with the latest advances in mental health. The counseling center also operates as a training site for counseling interns in graduate school. Each of the interns is supervised on a weekly basis to ensure the services being offered are appropriate and within the scope of the interns’ competency while in graduate school and under supervision.
Outside Referrals
Because
of limited resources, clients with problems requiring long-term
counseling may need to be referred to an off-campus professional.
Also, if a CSU counselor determines that a client's needs
exceed his or her ability to provide adequate services, we
have an ethical responsibility to refer the student to another
counselor. While CSU does not endorse or recommend any one
particular counselor, we do maintain a list of local counselors
that are qualified to meet your needs. However, the cost
of off-campus counseling is strictly the responsibility of
the student.
