Student Counseling Services
The counseling services team provides brief individual counseling and therapy services for enrolled students at the USC Floyd School of Medicine. Our experienced clinicians support students in managing stress and other emotional challenges, while helping them develop effective coping strategies and improve well-being. We also offer students information on community-based resources.
To request an appointment or information about community resources, students can complete this form. It will be reviewed, and a counseling team member will reach out to you about scheduling or with information requested within 7 business days. To request services on the Florence campus, you can also follow this link to connect with Carolyn Bazen, MS, LPC.
Our Team
Our commitment is to foster student well-being by providing compassionate care and resources that empower students to thrive and flourish within the Floyd School of Medicine community. Counseling services are provided by licensed counselors and therapists. Students are matched with a counselor who is not affiliated with their academic program. Our counselors offer both in-person and virtual appointment options. Each student begins with an initial assessment to identify their needs and develop a personalized treatment plan.
University Counseling and Psychology Services
Students also have access to resources through the main campus in Columbia.

The Therapy Assistance option of TAO allows you to get effective treatment when your schedule, or life, makes it hard to get to the counseling office.
