College years can be times of growth and learning, life challenges and significant stress and that asking for help can be difficult. Sometimes you may be unaware of what resources are available to help and how to work through current situations blocking you from your full potential. If you are feeling overwhelmed, facing a problem you don't know how to handle or would just like to talk to someone in a safe place, we're here to help!

● Feelings of depression, sadness and loneliness
● Substance use
● Coping with loss/grief
● Psychiatric medication management
● Low energy and motivation
● Sleep disturbances
● Anger/conflict
● Gender and sexuality issues
