Student Counseling Center

The Student Counseling Center (SCC) supports the mission of the University by providing a variety of counseling, educational, consultation, referral, and mental-health services to SPU students. Our goal is to help students find solutions to the obstacles that may interfere with student learning, retention, and their overall well-being.

The SCC is staffed with professional clinical therapists and professional graduate interns who are committed to the emotional and mental health of SPU students. Services include individual, relational, and group counseling. A registered dietitian is also available to provide nutritional counseling. In collaboration with the Health Services nursing and psychiatric staff, medication evaluation and management is available for students with more serious mental health problems. A six-session per academic year limit is applied in most cases.

To schedule a counseling appointment, students are encouraged to stop by the SCC to fill out a brief intake form. The SCC is located in Watson Hall on the first floor. Please contact the Student Counseling Center at 206-281-2657 or visit www.spu.edu/depts/scc/ for more information.
