Scope of Services
Counseling Services provides brief (time-limited), goal-oriented mental health counseling for currently enrolled University of Minnesota Rochester students for personal, crisis and developmental counseling services. Counseling Services also provides virtual, confidential consultation and referrals for student assistance to community-based mental health providers.
Counseling Services strives to provide support for as many students’ mental health needs as possible. However, we are not able to provide some specialized services, resource-intensive programs or those which pose a conflict of interest. As such, we do not provide:
- Services to incoming first-year students prior to orientation or alumni
- Clinical services to staff or faculty
- Long-term counseling
- Assessment or documentation for service or emotional support animals (visit Disability Resource Center)
- Testing for learning disabilities or attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Forensic evaluations
- Neuropsychological evaluations
- Intensive substance abuse treatment
- Intensive outpatient treatment
- Treatment that is required by court, probation or recommended by an attorney in relation to a legal case
- Services to students who are not medically stable or require intensive medical treatment
- Mediation for on-campus proceedings
Although these services are not provided, Counseling Services will assist students in accessing these resources off-campus.
