Main Content
We provide intentional, problem-focused mental health counseling, aimed at building better skills and exploring alternative ways of coping. Psychological & Wellness Services provides confidential crisis, individual, and group counseling; educational workshops and classroom presentations; consultation for students, faculty, staff, and student families; and referrals (when appropriate) to community mental health and social service providers and other UWT student services and resources.
Students new to UW Tacoma are unable to receive services until the start of their first quarter.
*** If you are feeling sick (e.g., experiencing flu or COVID symptoms), please do not attend your counseling session in person. Talk to our team about telehealth options or ask to reschedule. If you suspect that you might be exposed to someone with symptoms, please wear a mask to minimize contagion. ***
