Weber State University (WSU) is a primarily undergraduate institution of approximately 18,000 students, with a substantial nontraditional population. The main campus of WSU is located in Ogden, Utah, approximately 35 miles north of Salt Lake City. Please visit the university website at www.weber.edu for further campus information.
CPSC has a staff of eight mental health professionals and one part-time psychiatrist. Services are provided within a brief therapy model on both Ogden and Davis campuses. Because WSU is an open-enrollment institution, and because students, faculty, and staff members are eligible for CPSC services, our clientele tends to be more diverse than that of many university counseling centers. This provides a rich training environment. Please visit the CPSC website at www.weber.edu/counselingcenter for further information about the center.
