Counseling and Testing Mission Statement
Our mission is to promote students’ emotional, academic, social, and cultural growth through
counseling, crisis intervention, and outreach within an atmosphere of confidentiality and inclusivity. To
meet the needs of UW-L and the region, we provide comprehensive testing services that adhere to
nationally recognized standards.
Notes of acknowledgement
The 2013-2014 year was a year of transition. In the summer of 2013, Dr. Bridgette Hensley left her
position as Director of the Counseling and Testing Center (CTC). In the absence of leadership, Dr. Kristen
Marin stepped in as Interim Director for 6 months, through December 2013. Although an early-career
psychologist, Dr. Marin excelled in this interim leadership role. She represented the CTC staff in a
professional and skilled manner, ensured continuity of care for students, and led the CTC staff in a busy
and uncertain time. She demonstrated commitment to student-centered care, and led the center in the
direction of increased accessibility by honing our triage and urgent care system, as well as increase
group therapy offerings. Dr. Marin accomplished this with strong collaboration from the entire staff, and
in doing so helped establish calm in a time of uncertainty. I am incredibly grateful for the leadership she
provided. Upon my arrival in January 2014, it was clear that Dr. Marin’s efforts were appreciated and
absorbed. Further, she provided me with a good deal of information and training that eased my
transition into this new role. In addition to Dr. Hensley’s exit, Patricia Sterling, Counselor, retired from
the CTC in December of 2013. Ms. Sterling had been a longstanding presence at both the CTC and the
Student Health Center, and was dedicated to assisting students as they navigated the challenges of
young adulthood and college, and she specifically assisted many students with disordered eating
difficulties. We have seen her at several points this semester, as she remains connected to her
colleagues at the CTC, and she reports being quite happy in her retirement. We wish her well.
Other transitions this past year have added strength and positivity to our team. Ms. Liz Stine, Associate
Counselor, became licensed as professional counselor (LPC). We are excited and proud to continue to
grow our core clinical staff to be licensed clinicians. Dr. Crys Champion joined our clinical staff as a
Counselor, with a special focus in Underserved Populations. Dr. Champion has spent much of this first
academic year establishing working relationships with a number of offices on campus, especially those
which interface with underserved populations on a regular basis. She is already a known entity and
trusted colleague on the UW-L campus. Also in August, Mr. Jonathan Skubis joined the CTC as a Testing
Administrator. He has developed a good understanding of the flow of the testing component, offers a
pleasant and calming presence to testers, and we look forward to his continued growth of taking on
more responsibilities in the coming year. Drs. Megan Cobb and Alicia Reif served in a one-year
residency, working to satisfy their requirements for licensure as psychologists. Ms. Alicia Skiles engaged
in a one-year training practicum/internship for her pre-master’s clinical requirements. Their
contributions to the staff allowed for a wide-range of services to be provided to the student body that,
without them, would not have been possible given the demand for direct service delivery. As this year
draws to a close the CTC is excited to be in the midst of a search for two Counselors to start in August.
One position will be an interim Counselor position for one year, during which time the CTC will work to
continue developing a vision for long-term needs.

I would like to express my gratitude to our contractual clinicians: Ms. Chelle Belland, Ms. Donna Jolley,
Mr. Randy Kahn, Dr. Ryan McKelley, Dr. Beth Mullen-Houser, and Mr. John Streyle. Without their clinical
expertise and assistance, the CTC would not have been able to meet the service demands. In addition, I
extend gratitude for Mr. Criss Gilbert’s expertise and management of the Testing Center and Office
Management at the CTC. He continues to build our relationship with vendors and add tests that meet
the needs not only of students but also community members of La Crosse and surrounding areas. He
offered a great assistance to me in my growing understanding of the budget and inner workings of the
office at the CTC.
In keeping with the national college counseling trend, the demands for clinical services continue to
grow, as does the need for outreach, academic skills, and preventative services. The Counseling and
Testing Center would not be able to meet these demands for services if it were not for the dedicated
CTC staff and the hard work of community clinicians who contract with us regularly to help us meet the
student needs. On behalf of the students at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse, the campus faculty,
staff, and administrators, and the greater La Crosse community, I would like to express my appreciation
to all the Counseling and Testing Center staff members who helped make 2013-2014 a very successful
year. Their hard work, talent, collaborative teamwork, and genuine concern for students help to
improve the quality of lives, the climate of this great campus, and ensure that students experience
academic success and personal growth.
Although there still exists a marked and pervasive stigma regarding mental health, students are more
inclined to seek services and refer friends in need of help. Today’s college student is more likely to have
had previous counseling experience and many come to campus with current psychotropic medication
prescriptions. Furthermore, as we continue to see and hear about mental health issues and campus
crises in the news, the demand for outreaches from the campus and local community increases. This
indirect service is becoming an integral part of the services we deliver. While it can create a greater
stress on our resources, we are both professionally and ethically obligated and happy to provide this
service.

Statement regarding statistics
Efforts have been taken to provide the most valid representation of services offered by the Counseling
and Testing Center. We have several ways of collecting data on the clients we see and the services we
provide. These methods include Point and Click (PnC; our electronic record-keeping system, which pulls
demographic information from PeopleSoft, the school records and registration electronic system),
CelestHealth/Behavioral Health Monitor (BHM 20), which is our outcomes assessment program, the
Learning Outcomes and Client Satisfaction Survey (LOS; administered at the end of each semester) and
our Client Information Form (CIF). Each method has merit and value; however, each of these
programs/assessments measure services differently. Aggregate data from the Learning Outcomes and
Client Satisfaction Survey and the CIF is shared with participating UW system schools and is contributed
to a larger scale study that examines the impact of UW counseling services on its students and
campuses. As with most statistics, those presented within this report should be interpreted with some
caution. They are provided to communicate the spirit of services and outcomes, as well as to give the
reader a general picture of our client population.

Narrative report
Accreditation
Since 1979 the International Association of Counseling Services, Inc. (IACS) has accredited the UW–La
Crosse CTC. Accreditation by IACS certifies that the CTC meets or exceeds certain criteria and standards
that are applied exclusively to college and university counseling centers. A complete re-evaluation is
done on each accredited site every four years. CTC completed its IACS re-evaluation in the spring of
2011 and was fully re-accredited. Our next re-evaluation is scheduled for 2015. In addition to regular
re-evaluations, the CTC completes and submits an annual report on our services and staffing for
approval by IACS during the spring of every year. The 2013-2014 annual report is currently underway.
Direct & Indirect Services
The primary goal of the CTC is the provision of direct counseling services to UW-L students. Direct
service includes clinical assessments, counseling (individual, group, and occasional couples and family),
psychological testing, consultations, crisis intervention, academic skills counseling, as well as
psychoeducational workshops, seminars, and clinics. The table below summarizes in number the varied
and comprehensive outpatient services that we conduct as a Center.

From 07/1/2013 – 05/17/2014, approximately 1,000 students received direct services. The CTC
conducted 4,575 direct service appointment this academic year which includes but is not limited to the
following appointments: 116 academic skills intakes, 186 academic skills visits, 115
assessment/psychological testing visits, 187 consultation visits, 224 urgent care visits, 579 triage visits,
580 counseling intake visits, 31 couples sessions, 113 individual group therapy screenings, and 2,414
individual therapy visits. Ninety-one percent of counseling appointments were delivered at CTC’s main
office in Centennial Hall and 9% were delivered at our satellite office in the SHC (note that due to Ms.
7|Page
Patricia Sterling’s retirement, the SHC had less mental health hours available to students than in
previous years). Average number of therapy sessions (excluding group therapy) was 5, before therapy
terminated or the client discontinued services. This utilization pattern is similar to that in the
community by the general population.
In general, the average profile of a student-client who receives services identifies as female, White,
single, and 20 years of age. The client information form (CIF) provides the opportunity for clients to
endorse gender identities other than female and male, as well as a variety of sexual orientations.
Previous iterations of annual reports did not include that data since our electronic medical
recordkeeping system, Point and Click (PnC) did not allow for this reporting. However, this year the CTC
gathered self-reported data as well as that entered in through university registration. Please see
Appendix A for comprehensive demographic information.
In addition to continuing to offer triage assessments within 1-3 days of a student’s initial contact, the
CTC offered 17 different therapy groups or workshops this academic year (16 in the fall, 17 in the spring,
with a number of groups being offered both semesters). See Appendix B for images of the
advertisements. These include: Academic Skills Workshops on Focus and Test-taking, an AODA Support
Group, a Men’s Group, Grief & Loss, Mindfulness, ACT on Anxiety and Depression, Freedom from
Disordered Eating, Understanding Self and Others process groups, Multicultural Talking Circle, and a
Women’s Empowerment Group (trauma focused work).
Students are asked to identify their presenting concerns, on the CIF, into broad categories. After the
intake session, the counseling staff categorizes the concerns more precisely. Again, efforts were made
this year to use the CIF to summarize the data, and these are presented in more detail in Appendix C.
The most commonly reported presenting concerns include anxiety, depression, stress, problems in
school, low self-esteem, sleep, relationship concerns, and disordered eating.
Adjunctive Services
The Relaxation Room has increased in visibility and use every year. This is an indirect service available to
any registered UW-L student, whether a client at CTC or not. The room offers leather recliners with
massage/heat pads, noise cancelling head phones, as well as computer based relaxation programs,
music, and biofeedback programs. During the 2013-2014 academic year, 334 unique students used the
relaxation room for a total of 825 visits, which is an increase of approximately 175%.
With increased usage in the winter months, students are able to utilize a full-spectrum light therapy box
for treating seasonal affective depression symptoms. In the 2013-2014 academic year, the CTC saw in
increase of visits for this service. Six students regularly used the boxes for a total of 88 sessions.
We continue to be fortunate enough to have psychiatric services available at UW-L through Student
Health Services (SHC) with Dr. Tom Trannel. Psychiatric services are funded by student segregated fees
as well as money received from WTC. The psychiatric services are available to UW-L students and WTC
students but are reserved for those students with serious and/or complex psychiatric needs. The CTC
staff reinstated a monthly case consultation with Dr. Trannel this spring semester, in an effort to
8|Page
increase collaboration and ensure continuity of care with shared clients. Please see Dr. Allen’s annual
report on the SHC services for psychiatric-related data.
Outcome Data
Learning Outcome and Client Satisfaction data is solicited from every student who receives counseling or
academic skills services at CTC. UW-L participates in a system wide initiative to assess learning
outcomes and client satisfaction in a standardized fashion. The survey (LOS) is comprised of three
subscales: Intrapersonal Learning Outcomes, Academic Outcomes, & Client Satisfaction. This is the
third year that UW-L has participated in this study and results continue to be impressive and promising.
In the Fall of 2013 and Spring of 2014, clients were sent an email with an invitation to access the
learning outcomes survey at a protected website. Two hundred and fifty-nine clients started the survey
(201 completed it) in the Fall and of these respondents, 206 reported receiving mental health counseling
services (versus academic skills services or using the relaxation room).
Results of the Fall 2013 survey, where N = 166, indicate:
•

services located on campus.
20% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that prior to counseling they were thinking of
leaving school.
34% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that counseling helped them stay at school.
Results of the Spring 2013 survey have yet to be sent to UW-L.
Outreach Programming
The outreach activities are the most diverse programming function of the CTC. The outreach goal is the
delivery of preventive, consultative, educational, and developmental programs to the UW-L campus’
students, staff, faculty, parents, as well as various civic, health, and educational institutions in La Crosse
and surrounding areas. The formats range from classroom presentations, speaking at conferences,
media interviews, workshops, and educational brochures. Over the 2013-2014 academic year, 63
9|Page
outreach programs were conducted serving over 2000 students, staff, faculty, and community members.
Appendix D details the outreaches from this past year.
One type of outreach and one of the most important direct roles of a university counseling center is to
take a leadership role in response to traumatic events on campus. The CTC staff continues to work
diligently to help our students and community respond to these crises. The 2013-2014 academic year
was a difficult one due to several tragic events. During the past year, CTC staff provided campus crisis
intervention and outreach to students and staff following student and staff deaths, as well as provide
guidance and consultation to other campus offices/departments in response to high incidences of
suicidal ideation and other relevant situations relating to students of concern.
Testing Services
The testing program, housed within the Counseling and Testing Center, is comprised of national,
psychological, internet based testing (iBT), and computer based testing (CBT). The program is a national,
regional and campus site for the administration, scoring, interpreting, and dispersal of many tests and
several psychological inventories. The national tests consist of many professional certification/licensure
exams, graduate school and professional education program exams as well as international competency
exams. Many tests are administered via the computer or internet. However, there are still a few tests
given in a paper and pencil administration format, including the Wisconsin Placement Test. The testing
program serves the UW-L community and the greater La Crosse area.
During the 2013-2014 academic year (data current through 4/30/14), 5,968 tests were administered.
This includes a total thus far of 1932 UW System placement tests, as well as 807 other paper and pencil
tests. The remaining 3,229 were computer based tests. CTC testing staff has noticed an annual increase
in tests administered at our Center. While the demand for certain tests increased, others decreased as
testing waxes and wanes with the economic and job climates. CTC looks forward to continued growth
and meeting the testing needs of the UW-L, La Crosse and surrounding communities.
Appendices E and F contain an overview and details of the various tests the CTC offered this past year.
Psychological Testing
Psychological testing is done on an as-needed basis and administered by the clinician when deemed
clinically appropriate. Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) evaluations include the use of
several different assessment measures and help in identifying treatment and academic accommodation
needs. All evaluations and resulting diagnoses are important. The CTC has worked hard to develop a
sound and comprehensive evaluation process that is consistent with best practices. The evaluations
include a thorough initial evaluation before determining if a full assessment is deemed appropriate. By
continuing to meet regularly as an ADHD clinical sub-committee, our staff modifies and hones the
referral process and this initial evaluation in order to avoid unnecessary testing and cost to students,
and allows for exploration of other possible contributing factors to attention-related problems (e.g.,
substance use, sleep difficulties, anxiety). Due the potential academic and medical implications, as well
as the growing trend of stimulant medication abuse on college campuses, CTC has modified the ADHD
10 | P a g e
evaluation protocol. The new protocol is more comprehensive and now includes an intellectual
functioning measure, as well as a measure that allows the clinician to rule out other primary motivations
for seeking a diagnosis of ADHD.
Service
The CTC staff has a strong commitment to the service mission of the University. The following
is a sample listing of the service contributions by the CTC staff: Violence Prevention Advisory
Committee, Emotional Wellness Committee, CARE Team, ATP Cross Cultural Guides, Division of Student
Affairs Staff Recognition Committee, First Year Registration and Orientation, and Search and
Screen Committees.
Additionally, many clinical consultations were provided to the staff, faculty, parents and students
throughout the year. The staff consults about counseling services, student problems, and
questions regarding resources. Discussions about clients are always governed by confidentiality
statutes.
Teaching Contributions
Several staff members regularly guest lecture in a variety of classes in topics related to general mental
health, adjustment to college, academic skills, and disordered eating.
Professional Development
During the 2013-2014 year, the staff was involved in a variety of professional activities. These included
weekly training activities coordinated by Dr. Marin, as well as workshop and conference attendance
pursued by staff to meet ongoing licensure requirements and further develop areas of clinical interest
and expertise. Some continuing education topics include: Grief and Loss workshop, Motivational
Interviewing, Racial Identity Development, Ally training, Improving client outcome, Suicide Prevention,
and Group Therapy.
Supervision and Training
The CTC reinstated their practicum and internship program this academic year and had a wonderful
experience with our trainee, Alicia Skiles. She adapted well to the CTC in a time of transition, and before
year’s end was engaging in Urgent Care coverage. The CTC continued to be a Post-Doctoral Psychology
Fellow training site. Drs. Dixon and Zirkel were contracted to serve as primary supervisors for Drs.
Megan Cobb and Alicia Reif (postdoctoral residents) through December 2013. From January 2014 to the
present, Dr. Gretchen Reinders served as primary supervisor, and also supervised Dr. Beth MullenHouser. Dr. Ryan McKelley served as secondary supervisors for the postdoctoral residents.
11 | P a g e
Diversity and Inclusive Excellence Efforts
The Counseling and Testing Center was involved in a number of diversity efforts during this past year,
and made significant strides in increasing efforts to reach underserved student populations with the
hiring of Dr. Crys Champion. As mentioned, Dr. Champion has spent her first several months developing
relationships with a number of student organizations and campus offices who tend to interact with
those students who are underrepresented on our campus. Dr. Champion has collaborated with OMSS to
provide a multicultural talking circle group. Additionally, there has been deliberate effort in staff
trainings to continue developing multicultural competency as it relates to personal and professional
development. From speakers to videos and readings, our staff is committed to reaching more students
and performing essential job duties from an inclusive perspective. We recognize that our staff is not
exceptionally diverse and we are looking to change that with our current job searches, as well as
continue honing our Inclusive Excellence (IE) goals specific to the Center.
Opportunities and Challenges for 2014-2015
 With purposeful needs exploration and assessment, increase our understanding of how to best
develop a service delivery model that continues to meet the increasing demand for services
across campus, as well as specifically make its services accessible to underserved populations.
Pilot a consultation service called “Let’s Talk,” in the Fall, with partnership with OMSS, consisting
of a satellite office outside of the CTC, with a primary goal of reaching traditionally underserved
populations. Assess and modify as needed.
 Continue to build our group therapy program so that it becomes a primary treatment modality.
 Continue to increase outreach efforts, with a dual purpose of increasing visibility and presence
of CTC staff at various events on campus, as well as focus on preventative services, early
detection and education.
 Develop a more comprehensive protocol for identifying students at-risk for suicide; consider
collaborating with larger UW-L campus to provide gatekeeper and peer training modules for
early intervention. Consider partnering with the SHC for primary care screening, keeping in mind
the need for available resources to be able to appropriately follow-up and assess those students
who identify having suicidal thoughts. Depending upon the outcome of a grant proposal
submitted by the Wellness Resource Center Coordinator and the CTC Director, the extent of the
protocol development is yet to be determined.
 Seek to increase contact with service providers off campus, with a goal of more efficiency and
success in transitions students to community resources if/when needed. Develop a database
with community provider information, to be updated every semester.
 We have modified the stipend for the Postdoctoral positions in order to be a more competitive
site and attract skilled and competent residents. We hope to continue to examine and modify
salary and benefits as we continue our postdoctoral training program.
12 | P a g e
 Utilize the new Counselors (fall 2014) to address identified needs for the UW-L campus, such as
substance use/abuse, disordered eating, and mood regulation and to clarify longer-term vision
and direction for the CTC.
 Continue to push ourselves to explore new and exciting ways to incorporate Inclusive Excellence
ideals and standards into our daily work.
 Continue to develop our Testing program to meet the campus and community demand for a
broad range of certification and testing needs.
 Consider hiring a full time Testing Associate for the Testing Program. Consider adding an
additional 12 month FTE for a psychologist. This position will help alleviate the supervisory
responsibilities of the Director, enabling them to better balance their administrative and clinical
roles.
 Work with UW-L Information Technology Services to improve and modify our website to
increase ease of use, incorporate more educational components, and accurately reflect all that
our Center has to offer.
 Work with PnC to best transition our record keeping system from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5.
