Medication Evaluation & Management
Psychiatric services are available to students engaged in therapy with a counselor in Counseling Services. A psychiatric consultation may be recommended to explore potential physical causes for psychological difficulties, offer clarification on diagnosis, and/or provide medication evaluation. Students are referred to a Counseling Services psychiatrist by their Counseling Services counselor.
If you are looking for a longer-term provider for medication management, our staff can help you connect to off campus resources. Call SHAC to schedule an initial consultation.
