When appropriate, you may be referred to a Student Health Clinic physician or a psychiatrist in the Cedar Falls / Waterloo community for medication evaluation and consultation. You will be responsible for arranging to pay the cost of any medication prescribed.
Referral to a Community Agency
Because we offer primarily short-term counseling, we provide referral information for appropriate community resources to students who needs are beyond the scope of the Counseling Center.
Consultation
The Counseling Center psychologists and mental health counselors are available to consult with faculty, staff members, friends or family members who have concerns about a student. If you have concerns about a student that you would like to discuss, call the Counseling Center at 273-2676.
