What Service Might Be Right for Me? Heading link
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 vs Processing
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 vs. Open-Ended
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.
-
Psychiatry
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 vs. Commitment
As-Needed
I prefer flexibility.
Regular Commitment
I need a bit more structure.
-
Number of People Involved
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.
-
Longer-Term Treatment Options
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.
