For more information about scheduling, please call 305-348-8385. It is preferred (sometimes required) for you to provide documentation of prior psychiatric or psychological treatment, if you have such history. It is required as per policy for students to provide documentation of prior history for diagnoses such as Attention-deficit and/or Hyperactivity disorders, if you are requesting continuation of treatment for that condition.
The Behavioral Health team at Student Health collaborates with the clinicians of FIU's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) Department and can refer students to CAPS or to the Victim Empowerment Program for counseling or psychotherapy as needed.
