Counseling Services is excited to announce a new initiative aimed at improving accessibility to services and resources, while also aligning a student’s needs with the variety of supports available at NAU and in the Flagstaff community. Requests for ongoing counseling will now begin with a Path to Care (PTC) appointment, a brief meeting with a provider designed to explore a student’s concerns, assess needs, and determine the most appropriate path to care. Results of the PTC appointment can vary, and you can find more information about PTC and our scope of care here

Our hope is that this new approach to accessing services will foster affirming, tangible outcomes and enhance clarity regarding your next steps towards wellness. Our primary method of accomplishing this is through honoring your need for support and streamlining your connection to resources, all while leveraging the multitude of resources available at NAU and beyond.

If you are interested in ongoing counseling, or are simply looking for mental health support, please visit our “Services” page for more information about scheduling a Path to Care appointment.
