If you need to meet with a counselor for a one-time visit to discuss a current non-crisis problem or concern, the Single Session Clinic (SSC) is for you. During your confidential 45-minute visit, an SSC counselor can work with you to problem-solve, help you develop skills and/or strategies to address your concern, and will provide a personalized action plan by the end of your visit. This resource is available to students taking classes on the Corvallis Campus and is open during fall, winter, and spring term.

In addition to standard SSC visits, specialized appointments are currently available for Latinx students (Sala Session), College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) students, and graduate students. If you are seeking one of these appointments, be sure to select a date and time that is labeled as one of these options. Please do not use these spots if none of these apply to you.

All SSC appointments are available in English and other languages as noted. Please click here if you need an American Sign Language interpreter or a transcriber.
