Taking care of your well-being can be an important part of navigating life’s challenges, managing stress, and feeling your best. Whatever you may be going through, you don’t have to navigate it alone. UIC offers a variety of resources to support you, including the Counseling Center.

The Counseling Center provides a range of confidential, free services for eligible students, so you can find the type of support that feels right for you. Services include group therapy, brief individual therapy, case management, single-session appointments, Mind-Body programs, and virtual drop-in spaces. Whether you’re looking for ongoing support, a space to talk things through, or tools to help you manage stress, we’re here to help.

The Counseling Center is open Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m.

Services are available both in person and virtually, giving you flexibility in how you receive support. If you have an in-person appointment but would feel more comfortable meeting virtually, simply call our office or email your assigned therapist to request a virtual appointment.
