ASU Counseling Services

ASU Counseling offers confidential, free, crisis support and stabilizing counseling services for students impacted by sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. These traumatic experiences may impact students in many different ways. We are here to help re-establish safety and stability for students. That may mean we help in any of the following ways:

• Someone to help you talk through your experience(s)
• Co-create plans for safety
• Support in finding campus or local resources as options that may help you
• Help you identify next steps toward stabilization and recovery
• Provide education on the stages of traumatic healing, and meet you where you are
• We teach and practice grounding techniques to help you cope with your traumatic experience

ASU Counseling Services professional staff are highly trained, licensed counselors and psychologists, with expertise in trauma. As ASU Counseling Services is a confidential resource, victims and survivors, or friends who are made aware of a sexual assault, are able to speak with providers without having to file a report regarding their experience(s). It is normal to feel unsure about what next steps to take and how to seek support following an experience of violence, ASU Counseling Services may be a good first place to start when it comes to seeking the support you deserve. You can also connect with them to request assistance with getting connected to a community provider.

Should you wish to seek support after hours, reach out to ASU’s dedicated mental health line through EMPACT: 480-921-1006. In addition, there are a variety of mental health resources available to ASU students through community resources.
