Services Offered
Individual In-Person and Tele-Mental-Health Counseling
Students may seek counseling services for many different reasons including anxiety, depression, academic stress, adjustment to college, and other needs.
Counseling assists in helping students explore personal concerns, emotions, and behaviors in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. Counseling services provide one-on-one, short-term, intermittent therapy either in person or online.
Short-term counseling is beneficial for targeting specific needs and concerns that can be addressed in a few sessions. If presenting needs are greater than what ASU-Beebe Counseling Services can provide, the counselor will connect the student with local community counseling resources.
Consultations
For those that are new to counseling. It is a brief (30 minutes) counseling session for the student to discuss with the counselor what brings them to counseling and how to best meet their presenting needs. This may include intake/individual counseling, campus resource referrals, or local referrals if preferred or needed.
Walk-Ins
Open to all campuses, there is no need to schedule!
Due to the counselor’s presence on multiple campuses, availability may vary and is dependent upon the counselor’s schedule. To ensure you’ll be seen, please book a session through the counselor’s booking site.
Outreach
Throughout the semesters, there will be opportunities to learn more about mental health related topics via presentations, events, and various outreaches. Stay in the know about when these opportunities are available via university email, flyers, or word of mouth!
Suicide Prevention
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students with more than 1,000 students committing suicide each year on a college campus. Additionally, according to a recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Infection, U.S. adults reported considerably elevated adverse mental health conditions associated with Covid-19 – with younger adults reported having experienced disproportionately worse mental health outcomes, increased substance use, and elevated suicidal ideation.
