Screenings for depression, generalized anxiety disorder, alcohol misuse, eating disorders, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder are available. You will receive immediate results at the end of each screening. You can print these results and bring them to a mental health therapist for further discussion and evaluation, if indicated. Please note that these screenings are not intended to be a clinical diagnosis, but they may be helpful to your therapist.

Counseling Visits
Mental Health Therapy Visit:
Cost Varies - Visit with a licensed mental health therapist for students struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and other mental health concerns. If the student has health insurance available to use, Zumbro Valley Health Center can submit the bill for this visit to the student’s insurance provider. If any portion of the visit is not covered by that insurance (co-payment, deductible, etc.) the student will receive a bill from ZVHC for the outstanding balance. If payment for this service is a concern for you, please communicate that with us. Our primary concern is your health and your success as a student, and we will work with you to determine if alternative funding may be available for you to use for this service.
Yellowjacket Check-In Visit:
Free, one-time visit with a licensed therapist to discover individual strategies to manage your stress level.

This assessment is completed in a FREE, one-time, one-hour evaluation where an alcohol and drug counselor will interview you in regard to your history of substance use, as well as other dimensions of health.
