Counseling can assist students in dealing with the challenges that college life brings. It can help to develop and strengthen skills to overcome new challenges or ones that have been impacting your life for a while. Counseling Services is a confidential place where students can come to discuss a variety of issues impacting their functioning to ensure academic success. Our goal in Counseling Services is to provide a safe and caring environment where each student's needs are met.

Individual therapy at The University of Tampa consists of 45-50 minutes session with a counseling professional. Students may also be seen for medication appointments. A student's treatment plan will be tailored to individual needs and may include medication consultation and prescriptions. Students wanting weekly or bi-weekly counseling will receive a personalized off campus referral based on the student's preferences and needs.
