Center for Counseling and Psychological Services
What are the Centers?
The Centers for Counseling and Psychological Services (CCPS) are
a service, training, and research component of the Department
of Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology. The centers,
one in Kalamazoo and one in Grand
Rapids, provide practical training opportunities for graduate
students by offering affordable mental health services to residents
of southwestern Michigan.
Master's
and doctoral degree students affiliated with the department
provide professional counseling and psychological services at
the centers. Graduate student counselors are supervised by faculty
members who are professional counselors and/or psychologists.
Faculty
members and graduate students conduct research at the centers.
Special facilities and advanced technology are available to support
research into many interactive processes.
Whom do we serve?
Counseling and psychological services are provided at low cost to children, adolescents, and adults residing in southwestern Michigan. Persons desiring services may contact the Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids centers directly for an appointment. All matters discussed are considered confidential.
Services are provided to persons regardless of social class, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, disability, or level of education.
Ethical standards of the American Psychological Association and the American Counseling Association govern behavior of all student counselors, center staff members, and supervisors.
While most clients are self-referred, referrals from other professionals and agencies are possible. Contact the centers for additional information.
What services do we offer?
Individual counseling for persons experiencing personal, educational, or vocational concerns is the primary service offered by the staff throughout the year.

When problems presented are not within the staff's scope of practice, appropriate referral sources are identified for clients.
