CCD Clinic Accepting New Clients for the Spring 2024 Semester
The CCD Clinic will start screening prospective clients for the Spring 2024 semester after January 3, 2024. After screening, if the CCD Clinic is determined to be a good fit for your needs & goals, we will schedule you for weekly, recurring appointments with one of our counselors in training supervised by counseling faculty or a licensed supervisor. These appointments will start Monday, January 22 and continue throughout the 2024 spring semester.
Those interested in working with the CCD clinic should schedule a request for services meeting, linked below. During this call, you will be asked to share what goals and desired outcomes you’re hoping to gain from counseling, and other related questions. This information helps our staff to help connect you with the best fit to meet your goals and needs – either the CCD Counseling Clinic or another resource on campus or in the larger community.
Before scheduling your request for services meeting, please review the “About the Clinic” information below.
About the Clinic
The Counseling and Career Development Clinic is a training and research clinic staffed by master’s level graduate student counselors who work under the direct supervision of Counseling and Career Development faculty and/or licensed mental health professionals. The clinic provides outpatient counseling services, including career counseling, which takes place in rooms 16, 16A, 17, 17A, and 18 in the Education Building.
This is not a crisis or emergency services clinic. If you experience a crisis or emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for emergency services.
The CCD Counseling Clinic offers in-person counseling and Telehealth, depending on clinic availability and fit with the desired goal/ outcome. We are unable to provide Telehealth services to anyone outside of Colorado.
The clinic is free and open to the public; all sessions are confidential. Weekly sessions are available, and there are no session limits applied to clinic visits.
Please note: Our clinic is unable to provide services for staff or faculty within the CSU School of Education or College of Health and Human Sciences.

We are not set up to handle crisis situations. Your counselor is only available to you on the day and time of your scheduled session.
We cannot guarantee services or the same counselor for the following semester.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is important to us. With few exceptions, information about you will be strictly confidential and will be released only when you have given your written permission. Exceptions to strict confidentiality will be discussed when you meet with your counselor.
In each counseling room, there is a small video camera used for supervision and recordings. The sessions are recorded and deleted at the end of the semester. The recorded sessions are used for supervision purposes.
