“I just want to talk to someone about a specific situation.”

“I need some ideas and skills with my current situation.”

Let’s Talk.


What is Let’s Talk?

  • Let’s Talk is a 30 minute, one-on-one conversation with a clinician from Counseling and Mental Health.
  • The sessions focus on skill-building, resiliency skills, and problem solving.
  • This is a good way to explore what talk therapy might be like.
  • Let’s Talk sessions are for individual conversations, but not psychotherapy treatment.
