Counseling Services

We offer confidential counseling services (Personal Counseling, Academic Skill Building, and ADHD Assessments) to currently enrolled UWL students.

PERSONAL COUNSELING or ACADEMIC SKILL BUILDING
There is no fee for Personal Counseling or Academic Skill Building appointments. To get started, call or stop in to make an appointment (first appointment is 20-30 minutes for personal counseling or 45-50 minutes for academic skill building).

YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
At your first appointment of the academic year, we will ask you to review and complete forms.  These forms must be completed before meeting with the counselor, will help your counselor understand your concerns, and help you understand the counseling process. 

The counselor at this appointment will discuss your situation and determine what counseling service(s) could be most helpful.  Continued services include individual and group options.

To cancel or reschedule an appointment, just call or stop in at least 24 hours before your appointment.  Also, you can review or cancel a scheduled appointment at our confidential and secure UWL MyHealth web portal.
