Texas State University Counseling Center

Here to help you have a better college experience.

Welcome to Texas State's Counseling Center App!

The app is working with Texas State's Counseling Center to help better services between the university and it's students.

With a rise in awareness of the affect of mental health on college students, it is important to have services that provide the fastest and efficient care. Our app works with the university by making sure every student has a chance to be heard. Due to all students paying for counseling services through tuition, there is a huge ratio of students to counselors. We want to help eliminate the wait for college students and ensure that everyone that books can be seen and make sure they are meeting with the counselor that fits their needs.

    Chief Executive Officer

    I hope you enjoyed exploring the app my classmates and I have created. Mental health issues are a serious problem
    that many college students live with everyday. I gained inspiration for this app because I personally had trouble getting
    the help I needed on campus. This app helps the professionals at our counseling center become more organized
    and accessible for students who are in need of help.
