CCA Mental Health & Counseling Services
CCA Mental Health & Counseling Services provides 10 FREE individual therapy sessions (per academic year) to currently-enrolled students.
Our professional therapists provide support to students to help them navigate stress, anxiety, depression, work & academic issues, family & relationship concerns, and many other challenges that life can present.
Our therapists will meet with students to determine if services through CCA are the best option, or if needed, assist students with referrals to community-based organizations and resources.
If you are interested in speaking with a therapist or scheduling an appointment, please complete the Online Referral Form. This is the best way to contact us.
You may also send us an email: counseling.cca@ccaurora.edu or call us: 303-360-4949.
CCA Mental Health & Counseling Services Hours
Therapy sessions are now offered in-person AND through telehealth. Telehealth sessions will be held on Zoom, through a secured link. In-person sessions will be held at one of our counseling offices on both the CentreTech campus and Lowry location. Additionally, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, students who request an in-person session may be asked to complete a health screening prior to an appointment, and may be required to wear a mask during sessions, while maintaining a six-foot distance.
Please reach out to us to schedule an appointment. While most appointments will be scheduled during traditional business hours, some evening appointments may be offered to accommodate specific needs.
