Student Counseling Services
We believe strongly in your ability to choose what is right for you right now, so we have provided you with a menu of mental health options that will fit your lifestyle.
If you want some guidance on where to begin, we suggest completing the screening offered by the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms (CCAPS-Screen).
Or see mental health screening and explore “choosing the right service for you right now” after taking a screening. Otherwise, please choose what matches your current needs above.
Resources for under-represented communities
All Augustana counselors are culturally sensitive and trained in cultural competence; however, some students desire services tailored specifically for underrepresented communities. For these services, see Resources for underrepresented communities.
