All enrolled Texas A&M University-San Antonio students are eligible to receive an initial appointment to assess their needs. The initial appointment is used to make treatment recommendations based on individual symptoms, severity, appropriateness of services, and availability of resources. After the initial appointment, the mental health clinician will render a clinical recommendation based on services that are best suited to meet individual needs and determine if tele-counseling services are appropriate at this time.

To schedule an appointment, please call 210-784-1331 or walk into the Student Counseling Center in Madla 120 any time Monday – Friday, 8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.

Students will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire during an initial appointment. Students will then speak with a mental health professional to discuss any concerns or challenges they are experiencing and create a mutually agreed upon treatment plan to help students reach their goals.

The treatment plan could include services provided by the Student Counseling Center, including individual therapy, group therapy, and utilization of the Virtual Relaxation Room or a referral to a community provider, which involves being connected to the Student Counseling Center’s Clinical Case Manager who will assist in bridging the student to community care.

The Student Counseling Center (SCC) offers brief individual therapy to students seeking support for relatively well-defined concerns that can adequately be addressed or resolved quickly. Quick individual therapy sessions are not guaranteed to students. An assignment to brief individual therapy is made through clinical judgment of students’ needs during the initial appointment.
