Wellness Clinic
The health and wellness of our students – inside and outside of the classroom – is extremely important to Indiana Tech. That’s why our Wellness Clinic is equipped with a health clinic nurse practitioner and a qualified counseling professional to help our student body maintain optimum physical and emotional health. In addition to providing quality treatment options, we strive to promote healthy behaviors and lifestyle choices that will enable students to effectively pursue their academic goals.

Services
Intake, assessment and referral
The first appointment allows a student and a counselor to get to know one another and formulate a plan of action. This meeting is usually structured, as it involves the completion of initial paperwork. In some cases, the student and the counselor may agree to facilitate a referral to a community agency.

Students are able to meet one-on-one with a counselor to discuss a variety of problems including (but not limited to):
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Identity issues
- Anger
- Stress
- Relationship problems

Couples Counseling
Couples counseling can help couples determine and work through the influences putting stress on their relationships. While the goal is often to help couples repair their relationships, counseling can also help couples end relationships in a healthy and respectful manner.
