The Counseling Center maintains discretion to determine if counseling services are an appropriate level/mode of care on a case-by-case basis. Counseling may not be appropriate, or the best choice of service for reasons including, but not limited to: if the student is at heightened risk of harm to oneself or others; lack of access to, or difficulty with communications technology; significant communications service disruptions; or need for more intensive services.
In addition, because of Georgia State laws, on-going counseling services by licensed mental health therapists are not allowed across state lines. Counselors can provide consultation by phone to assist students in connecting with supports at home, outside the state of Georgia.
