Get started with individual or group counseling
For students physically located in Washington state, call 206.543.1240 to schedule a virtual visit with a UW therapist or you may be able to schedule an appointment online (may require you to open a private browser window). If you are out-of-state, you can schedule an appointment with My SSP.
At your initial appointment, your therapist will talk about on- and off-campus resources that may be helpful to you.
Note: UW provides short-term counseling only, and can help connect you with an off-campus provider for ongoing, weekly counseling.
Cost and insurance
We have options for you, whether you have insurance or not. Call 206.543.1240 for more information.
