Services and Appointments

Counseling and Testing Services offers a variety of services – all of which are covered with the student health fee. Please review the information below to determine which service might best serve your needs. If you're not sure, please give us a call (anonymously if you like) and we'll be happy to advise you.

Individual Counseling and Psychotherapy Sessions
Individual Counseling and Psychotherapy Sessions are available to any enrolled degree-seeking St. Norbert College student who has paid the student health fee. The services are free courtesy of the student health fee. We do not offer group therapy or support groups. We can offer psychological testing for learning disabilities on a limited basis.

Routine Appointments
Routine appointments are available for students interested in speaking with a psychologist or counselor when the situation is not considered an emergency. We aim to schedule these appointments within seven business days and sometimes sooner. The initial appointment usually takes 75-90 minutes including: completing the required paperwork, talking to get a full understanding of your situation and developing an initial plan with you. You may switch to a different therapist/psychologist after the initial appointment if you feel they may not be the best fit for you or your situation.

Walk-in Appointments
Walk-in appointments are always available at 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. These appointments are designed to be 30 minutes or less so that you can get something off your mind or quickly problem-solve to troubleshoot an urgent situation. We also offer walk-in appointments during the day depending on therapist/psychologist schedule. If you're unable to visit us at 3 p.m., call and we’ll figure out a way to meet with you.

Alcohol and Other Drug (AODA) Appointments
AODA appointments are for students who receive sanctions from a hall director, judicial affairs representative or other administrative staff member within the college. These are 90 minutes appointments designed to help you understand your pattern of substance use and help you decide if it’s time to make a change.

Follow-Up Appointments
Follow-up appointments are typically 45-55 minutes, weekly for the first couple weeks. There's no limit on follow-up visits. Our hope is to get you the help you need quickly enough to be able to continually space your appointments out.

Crisis Appointments
Crisis appointments are available at any time. If you feel at risk of harming yourself or others, simply call us or walk over and let us know you need immediate assistance, and we’ll find a way to meet with you.

After-Hours Appointments
After-hours appointments should be coordinated through a hall director or other campus official. A counseling staff member will be available after hours for crisis appointments and/or in sexual assault situations. Due to limited staffing, we do not routinely provide counseling after hours. After-hour counseling is always available through the local crisis center at (920) 436-8888 and the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (800) 273-8255 or (800) 784-2433.

If you'd like to schedule an appointment with one of our staff members, please call us at (920) 403-3045 or counseling@snc.edu.
