“Posting for a friend: I've worked with one counselor here (Dr. Carter) and he is a wonderful therapist. I would highly suggest him. However, it is hard to schedule times for when I need therapy. I have had multiple sessions with him, but never the same day twice. They work you into the random spots in their day and do not consider your class schedule, your work schedule, or the location their services are at. If I ride the bus it easily takes me at minimum two hours from leaving main campus to arriving back at main campus. It is also hit or miss with the staff. Some days I they are nice, but other days they are extremely rude. It depends on who you sign-in with and who calls you.”

“Very helpful. Started coming in 2016 & was allowed to keep coming after a breakdown & needed a psychiatrist. He (Dr. C) was fairly good but appointments were short (15 min) just to update on how I was. My therapist (Dr. Welch) was extremely sweet, caring & always happy to see me & tried her best to accommodate my schedule. Group therapy is also a good option albeit weird at times but good if you can't get with a personal counselor. The bus ride is ~20 min from main campus which is annoying but I blame that on the university. Definitely are understaffed which again is a funding/university issue”

“The counselors here refuse to help you. I've gone twice and they sent me out the door. They said it was "better for me to find someone in the community" when everywhere else is full because they refuse to help students. I tried to at least manage my medications with the psychiatrist and got denied too! I've heard from other people that they do the same thing. So what's the point of having a counseling center if they aren't going to help? You would think with how much money they put into this school I should be able to see a counselor at least.”

“Service is good, my experience was great for Neurodivergent people. The music is great and there is free coffe. A relaxing place in the middle of chaotic Tamu downtown.”
