Frequently asked questions about the Counseling & Testing Center

The CTC partners with Mantra Health to give students more options for mental health care through the university. By enrolling in Mantra, students can connect virtually to licensed master’s level therapists or psychiatric nurse practitioners to address their unique needs during daytime, evenings, or weekend hours.

If you're unsure what might be right for you, schedule an initial appointment at CTC (by calling 608-785-8073 or schedule a Triage online at myhealth.uwlax.edu).

For more information view our Mantra Health page.

Let's Talk is a brief, confidential, individual consultation with a counselor to explore whether or not they should try counseling, to have a single brief conversation about a specific issue, to ask a question, or to express concern about a friend. Let's Talk is not a substitute for counseling or urgent care but is a great place to start.

Let's Talk for Spring Semester 2023 starts on January 27th.

When: Fridays 11 am to 1 pm

Where: The Center for Transformative Justice, Centennial Hall 1120

How: Drop-in consultations are in-person and first-come, first-serve.

Check the Let's Talk website for more information and updates.
