Individual counseling is an opportunity to improve mental health in a confidential, caring space.
UHS Mental Health Services utilizes a brief care model. If long-term, more frequent, or specialized counseling is needed, UHS can help students find a provider in their local community.
Sessions typically last 50 minutes, and counselors work with students to address emotional, psychological, interpersonal, academic, and other concerns. We are committed to matching students with a provider who will be a good fit, which includes the opportunity to request a counselor with specific identities, language proficiency, or areas of expertise. Some departments have embedded UHS mental health providers available; check with your department or call UHS Mental Health Services to inquire. If you think that your counselor is not a good match for you, we encourage you to discuss your concerns directly with your provider or call UHS to further discuss your needs.
