Sometimes seeking off campus therapy or
medication services is your best option to address
a particular concern or meet your individual
needs.
Reasons to see off-campus mental health providers:
You may be able to see a therapist on evenings or weekends.
You typically have more flexibility to see a therapist for as long as you need or
want. This is particularly beneficial when you have longstanding, complex, or
more severe issues—you may find that you can make more progress on such
issues when you are able to continue in therapy for longer than is usually
possible on campus.
You often have more choice in the therapist you see.
Certain services are available that are not available on campus, such as intensive
outpatient and inpatient treatment for mental illness, eating disorders, and
substance use disorders and comprehensive psychological or educational
testing.
You may prefer seeing an off-campus therapist for other reasons, such as when
you live off campus.
