Professional counseling is available to students free of charge. It is confidential and helps students deal with the adjustment to artistic and academic challenges and with personal issues.

Counseling staff additionally offer crisis intervention and psychiatric assessment and referral to community resources, as well as outreach programs to the CCA community on topics such as managing critiques, coping with depression, and creative blocks.

Students interested in participating in group counseling should contact the director of counseling services.
