To promote learning, cooperative working relationships, and personal/professional development within the university community of students, faculty, and staff.

Overview

The Counseling Center's staff members are committed to student learning and success, as well as to serving the Missouri S&T community. The Counseling Center services include individual, group, and crisis counseling; programming; consultation; referral information; and self-help materials to the Missouri S&T community.

Services provided by the Counseling Center are free to full-time Missouri S&T students, faculty, and staff. Part-time students, faculty, and staff may receive consultation, limited services, or community referral. (If you have a question about eligibility, please contact us at 341-4211.) Services are provided by professionally-trained counselors and psychologists and are confidential, within legal limitations and professional guidelines. Support staff are also well-trained to meet the needs of the campus within their roles in the Center.

Appointments are made by contacting Erma Brand at 341-4211 or by stopping by the office, which is located on the second floor of Norwood Hall (Room #204). Appointments usually last 50 minutes.

If your situation is a crisis and it is during our regular hours, please call us or come by the office. We will make sure you are seen as soon as possible that day. For psychological emergencies that occur when our office is closed, we can be contacted through the Missouri S&T Police at 341-4300.
