Let’s Talk counselors can help provide insight, solutions and information about additional resources. Students commonly visit with concerns about stress, sadness, worry, relationships, academic performance, family problems and financial struggles. 

No appointment is necessary. Students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis at various times throughout the week. Let’s Talk is available to students who live in-state or out-of-state. The best time to reach a counselor is at the start of the Let’s Talk time block. A typical session lasts 10-20 minutes.
