Counseling and Testing Services

College is a time of change that can be very exciting as well as stressful and challenging. Stress, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, loneliness, or other personal issues can affect students' well-being. SMSU Counseling & Testing Services is staffed by mental health professionals who provide confidential, short-term counseling services to enrolled students. Students do not have to be in crisis to access counseling services!

Students are invited to take a free, anonymous online mental health screening. It is a good way to get some initial, basic information about how you are feeling. MindWise Screenings  OR  CCAPs Screenings
