Community Clinic and Training Center
The Westminster Community Clinic and Training Center focuses on improving the lives of our community by providing free mental health counseling and treatment to those most in need.
Clinic counselors are graduate students in Westminster's Master of Counseling program and are skilled at treating mental health issues. Counselors also work under the supervision of faculty or a licensed mental health provider.
Because this is a training clinic and does not have a psychiatric prescriber, we cannot provide treatment for severe alcohol or substance use problems, chronic or acute suicidality, unmedicated psychosis, or issues that may require more intensive treatment. If you are a current Westminster student looking for mental health counseling, please contact the Counseling Center.
