The Student Counseling Services uses a short-term treatment model; as a result, counselors will, at times, refer longer term treatment to other professionals and services. The list below includes counseling professionals in Oxford and a few specialty services in the larger region. Inclusion on the list should not be construed as an endorsement of the services or service providers; it is here for informational purposes and is updated annually to reflect changes.

Disclaimer

The Student Counseling Service (SCS) and Miami University do not supervise and bear no responsibility for services provided by any of the individuals or agencies listed below, including services provided by SCS professional staff who may provide independent professional therapy/psychiatry services outside of their employment at Miami University.
