What to expect

Counselors at ATU Counseling Services work hard to provide a welcoming, caring, and inclusive environment that is suitable for every student. All of our counselors have a professional background qualifying them to provide you the necessary outlet for improving mental health. We offer inclusive and discrimination-free discussions that ensure a safe place for our diverse student population. 

Counseling Services offers short-term, intermittent therapy. Short- term counseling is a good option when you have specific concerns that can be addressed in a few sessions. This might be personal concerns such as stress, anxiety, mild to moderate depression, anger, loneliness, relationship concerns, identity concerns, adjustment to college and life transitions.  Counseling sessions are currently free to students and access is included in the Health and Wellness Center fee.  No additional charges are required at this time beyond the no-show/cancellation $25 fee.
