Wellness Coaching
Managing all of your commitments can make it difficult to find time to do things you need to do to stay well and thrive at UofSC. Wellness coaching provides you with education, support and encouragement to develop behaviors for a healthier lifestyle

Couples Counseling
Available for all intimate relationships regardless of sexual orientation or identity to help couples strengthen their relationships, address a specific concern or get pre-marital counseling. One partner must be an enrolled UofSC student eligible for counseling services.
Psychiatry
Our providers can help with psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis and treatment recommendations for mental, emotional and behavioral conditions. If needed, psychiatrists can prescribe medications and arrange for ongoing monitoring and coordination with other healthcare professionals.
Community Referrals
ThrivingCampus is a community-based referral program for students at the UofSC-Columbia campus to use when seeking a local provider for counseling or psychiatry services. Students are able to identify providers in the local area, view specific information on a provider’s practice and contact them for a potential appointment.
