No, students can access our services whether they have a definitive diagnosis or not. Many students seek psychological services to help deal with changes in their lives, relationship issues, family issues, and many other concerns that are not related to a diagnosis. We can also help students with developing stress management skills, coping with interpersonal issues, engaging in personal growth, and more. We also work with students to develop a greater understanding of their learning or attention differences.

If a student would like to receive a clinical evaluation, they might consider working with our partners at the ABLE Clinic.
