Counseling Center
College can be an exciting time, full of new opportunities and growth. However, this time may not always be easy and our staff is available to help. Licensed psychologists and other mental health providers offer therapy at no additional cost to help students address concerns they may have while a student at MU. Students can receive individual, group and couples counseling. While we protect the confidentiality of our students, we are happy to provide free consultations to parents, concerned family members or friends.
What to Expect
Through a collaborative environment, you can come to see yourself, your relationships and the world in a
different way. In addition to the
work done in sessions, you may be encouraged to do work outside of
sessions like trying out new behaviors or reading books or articles.
When welcoming individuals in the MU community, we recognize factors such as race, ethnicity, range of ability, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic standard and other unique issues are salient in students’ lives. We believe attending to these issues is an important part of understanding and helping others.
Scheduling an Appointment
Initial meetings usually last an hour and a half. First, you will be asked to complete some paperwork,
and then you and a therapist will discuss your current concerns and relevant background information. The therapist will make counseling recommendations, answer questions and explain the next steps.
Common concerns may include:
• Relationship problems
• Self-esteem
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Adjustment to college
• Stress
• Eating disorders/body image
• Sexual Assault
• Substance use
• Identity concerns
• Grief and loss
Testing Services
Testing Services coordinates and administers a wide range of tests that many students find helpful for admission into special programs or graduate and professional schools including:
Computer-based national admissions tests (e.g., GRE, GMAT, and TOEFL); Admissions, Certification and Qualifying exams (e.g., MCAT, LSAT, MAT, C-BASE and Praxis); Mathematics and foreign language placement tests; and CAAP Senior Assessment exams for bachelor degree candidates.
