Community Referrals

If you are interested in community referrals for counseling or psychological testing, please contact the counseling center at 515-216-5100 to receive a copy of a list of local referral options. Although we are providing this information as a resource, counselors on this list are responsible for maintaining the Code of Ethics and Professional Requirements under their license or supervision. The center does not endorse specific providers. 

All referrals out of the counseling center may incur a cost determined by the providers.

Students may also use the strategy below to find a counselor in the area:

1. Search 
2. Select “issues” that you would like support on
3. Select “Insurance” and your respective insurance
4. Select any other areas you are interested in for a therapist (i.e. race, gender, sexual orientation, etc)
5. Explore the list for in person/telehealth offerings (based on your needs)
6. Email the counselor (s) you are interested in seeing and they should contact you about scheduling.
