Services We Offer
Personal Counseling
Personal counseling provides an opportunity to talk with an objective,
caring professional about your concerns or problems. It can range from
informal consultation to brief psychotherapy. Counseling can be used
for handling issues ranging from personal enrichment to stress and
other psychological components of academic difficulties, relationship
breakups, family relationship and other issues affecting individual
functioning.
A TAMUG
student may see a counselor for the first time by making an
appointment or by coming in as a walk-in.
Counseling
sessions typically last 50 minutes, once per week. The number of
sessions varies depending upon your goals.
Disability Services

The
goals of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) are to

denied full and equal access to academic and co-curricular programs.

by the Office of Student Counseling in Mary Moody Northen Student
Center, Suite 108. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
