In a life-threatening emergency, always call 911.
If you need to talk with a counselor, schedule an appointment online using our Student Portal. We currently have a cancellation list for students to attend short-term counseling; however, we have openings daily at the two-week mark, so please check the site regularly to make an appointment for this type of support.
At the UW Counseling Center, every single member of our team dedicates their working hours (and often our waking hours!) to seek ways to enhance the UW Student Community’s access to wellness resources within and beyond UW. We strive to create a safe environment for students to explore and overcome challenges connected to life and learning. Through innovative programs and partnerships, we aim to deliver on our commitment to support our student community so UW feels less overwhelming and more inspiring!
Our multidisciplinary mental health team is dedicated to practicing through an inclusive and anti-oppressive lens that affirms the needs of those frequently marginalized by mainstream mental health practices.
Because UW should be challenging, not overwhelming!
