Counseling Services

University Counseling & Support Services knows and understands the college experience presents many challenges and opportunities for students. Individuals change, grow, and transition. Achieving academic goals can be difficult whenever someone is suffering from emotional distress, relationship difficulties, or other concerns. Many of the challenges we experience in college leads to excessive stress, anxiety, depression, confusion and loneliness. Seeking counseling and support empowers individuals to understand and address diverse issues.

University Counseling & Support Services staff are committed to welcoming you into an affirming and warm environment in which the dignity of all Florida Memorial Students are valued and affirmed. UCSS employs culturally aware professionals that provide services including individual and group counseling, community referrals, consultations, outreach programming, trainings, and training opportunities.

My name is Dr Jason Anthony Prendergast.

I am the director of the University Counseling and support services.

Here we offer a safe space for students, a place where they can come and be heard no matter what they dealing with.

We provide numerous amount of services for them.

We are HIPAA and FERPA compliant, which means whatever we talk about in the counseling center will remain confidential.

The university will not know about it. Nobody will know about it, no faculty staff members will know about it, so you can feel comfortable, and whatever we discuss will stay within these walls of the Counseling Center.

Everything dealing from anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, pretty much anything that you have experienced in your life that has been traumatic or you're struggling with, we provide a safe haven.

We do have a mission here at the UCSS, which is to provide developmental, remedial, preventative, educational and consultative training to our students to really help them grow academically and personally within the educational framework.

So we're looking to really build something here, and continuously build we're really focused on mental health, the importance of mental health, emotional wellness and spiritual balance.

And this is just a really cool place for young people to come and get to talk about their issues.
