Liz Green: On-campus Mental Health Clinician

Through NRVCS, we offer a variety of services to help you manage your mental health including case management and outpatient therapy services.


Our case management program helps to monitor your needs, navigate your responsibilities off campus that are getting in the way of your success, and connect you to resources to help you manage those needs and responsibilities.

Our outpatient therapy program is tailored to your individual mental health needs, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship problems, or trauma-related symptoms. We will talk about your mental health symptoms, build insight into what triggers them, and find ways to help manage them as they come up. You can work with your NRVCS therapist to identify patterns, set goals for your future, and improve your emotional wellbeing.

Both of these programs are offered at low to no cost based on your health insurance. If you need help covering the cost, there are programs in place to help. We want to make sure that anyone who wants and needs those services can access them.

NRVCS services are also confidential. We follow HIPAA guidelines, so outside of your NRVCS counselor, nobody will have access to your files, including NRCC staff. We take the utmost precautions to protect your privacy.
