We offer a variety of services designed to provide different types of support. These services fall into two categories:

• Services that you can access immediately or sign up for online

• Services that require you to schedule an initial consultation

It’s okay if you’re not sure what service will help you the most – an initial consultation counselor can help you with that! But if you’d like to get an idea, these questions can help.

Coping Skills

I want to learn specific strategies and techniques to help improve my mental health.

Process Thoughts/Feelings

I want to talk through what’s on my mind.

Goal-Directed

I can think of one or two specific things I’d like to work on.

Open-Ended

I may have some goals in mind, but would prefer something a bit more flexible.

Your initial consultation counselor might recommend that you consult with a psychiatrist, who can help you learn about and manage your medication options.

As-Needed

I prefer flexibility.

Regular Commitment

I need a bit more structure.

On My Own

I prefer to do things myself, and I’m not sure I want to share much about myself in order to get help.

One-On-One

I’d like to talk with someone else.

In Groups

It helps to know that I’m not alone.

Some students benefit from connecting with a therapist who providers longer-term or more open-ended services than we do. If you are looking to establish a longer-term relationship, we can help you find the right fit outside of UIC.

I Need Help With That

Finding the right provider and navigating insurance (or lack of insurance) can be hard. Our case managers can help you find the right fit.
