Our Staff:
The Counseling and Accessibility Services office provides short-term, solution-focused support primarily for students, while also welcoming faculty, staff, and occasionally their family members as scheduling allows. Sessions typically last an hour and occur weekly for about five weeks, followed by a reassessment to evaluate progress. A range of therapeutic models is used, with a focus on Internal Family Systems (IFS), to help clients navigate their challenges. The office also connects students with academic and housing accommodations, requiring documentation that includes a diagnosis for confidential record-keeping.
Make an appointment to visit us anytime—we’re here to help.
The Counseling and Accessibility Services office offers short-term, solution-focused counseling to Sul Ross State University students, faculty, and staff, and, as time allows, to their family members. We also assist students with setting up academic and housing accommodations. With a background in Psychology, Political Science, and Counseling—all from Sul Ross—I’ve been fully licensed since 2014 and have worked with a variety of populations, primarily youth and young adults. I use cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to help clients develop practical strategies for their concerns.
To schedule an appointment, feel free to call, email, or stop by the office.
Complaints and Grievances
The Counseling and Accessibility Services office abides by the Administrative Policy and Procedure Manual 4.07 with regards to university grievance process. If you are having a problem with either your accommodations, or counseling, we ask that you bring this up with the CAS office directly so that we may have the opportunity to resolve any issue early, without fester. To learn more about the formal grievance process see APM 4.07
TimelyCare
Students can access online counseling services through TimelyCare via their phone or other device. Students will be able to select from a wide-ranging menu of virtual care options from licensed counselors and providers and have access to services at no cost or insurance.
