Can I see someone for mental health support today?
Our office is open for no-cost, same-day consultations on weekdays (Monday through Friday) between 1 and 3 p.m. Stop by the Ritchie Center location (north end, 3rd floor) to meet with a counselor for a brief (15-20 minute) consultation. These consultations allow students to learn more about our services and treatment options (longer term), or for an initial triage in the event of an urgent mental health issue. Students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis during this time.
