Counseling Services currently has no waitlist and is providing telehealth appointments for eligible students who are located in the state of Kansas at the time of service.

To schedule a telehealth appointment with one of our therapists, eligible students should call 785-532-6927. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Hours may vary at times due to university closings, holidays, or special circumstances. The phone number can be accessed 24/7 if you need to speak with a mental health professional.

Counseling Services provides short-term, focused therapy for a variety of social and emotional concerns. The services include the following:

• Online, self-paced self-help courses focusing on stress management and academic anxiety.
• Email Counseling Services for more information or to request access to the course, which appears on your Canvas page.
• Unlimited telehealth drop-in workshops focusing on mindfulness skills and general coping skills.
• Telehealth crisis interventions for people who are experiencing thoughts of harming themselves or another person, people who have experienced a recent sexual assault, or people who are exhibit bizarre behavior.
•  Unlimited telehealth group therapy.

Effective Jan. 1, all services are available at no additional cost to enrolled students who have paid the privilege fee. Please note, that if a student misses their appointment without prior notice, or cancels less than 24 hours in advance, they will incur a $25 charge.

If you have questions, we encourage you to call Counseling Services to speak with either the front desk staff, the counselor on duty for consultation, or the assistant director, Kodee Walls.
