Here Whenever You Need Us
Your college experience is one of growth and learning. We all face a variety of challenges and obstacles in college and in life. You may come across moments that are not easy to talk about—struggling academically, navigating personal relationships, what it's like to live with mental health concerns. It can seem like you are the only one dealing with these issues, but you are not alone. We have a team that cares deeply about your development and success. We are here to support you through the challenges and celebrate your successes.
Election Week Support Options
To promote well-being during the November elections, University Health Services is providing extra spaces and programming to complement our already existing programs and resources. As usual, the Mental Health Access Team (MHAT) on the first floor of the UHS building is available to meet with students on a drop-in basis from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily and that the Counseling Services support and crisis line is available 24/7 at 541-346-3227. Also note the special pop-up Duck Nest at UHS on Tuesday, November 5 (see below). The Duck Nest in 041 EMU will be open its usual hours all week, but will feature a special “No Media Zone” on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 5 and 6, 2024.
Finally, we understand that stress is not limited to students, so faculty and staff are invited to participate where noted.

Accessing Mental Health Services
University Health Services provides an integrated approach to provide mental health services. This approach allows students to have coordinated and comprehensive mental health care from our team of counselors, case managers, and psychiatrists. Our mental health providers understand the variety of challenges students face and we are experts in providing mental health care for university students. We offer an open, safe, and confidential environment to help students through issues that may interfere with their personal and academic success.
Getting support is different for everyone. It could be talking one-on-one or attending a workshop. We are here to help you identify strategies that work best for you.
Current Programs and Services
Counseling Services currently offers a hybrid of in-person and virtual (Zoom) programs and services. Clinical services are by appointment only, scheduled either same day or within a week. We offer a range of short-term individual clinical services, including single-session intervention and short-term focused individual therapy (one to six sessions per academic year), group therapy, case management to assist in finding local mental health resources, consultation, and other mental health workshops.
How to schedule an appointment:
If you are interested in speaking with one of our therapists, for support or to learn more about our services, call to schedule a clinical consultation at 541-346-3227.
