Free counseling will be available through OSU-Cascades’ graduate counseling program for volunteers in the community.
The free counseling sessions are a service to the community, while allowing graduate students to practice under the supervision of faculty and clinical supervisors.
The therapy offered is cognitive processing therapy and person-centered therapy, which may be effective for managing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma.
The 50-minute weekly sessions will take place over 11 weeks starting the week of Jan. 7.
Sessions will be on Fridays and Saturdays at the Graduate & Research Center in Bend and the Deschutes County Mental Health Building in La Pine.
Registration is required and participants must be at least 18 years old.
To register or for more information, contact Amy Ford at 541-322-3123 or visit www.osucascades.edu/free-counseling.
