Student Services

Counseling Services provides a full range of confidential mental health services to currently enrolled undergraduate, graduate, professional, post-doctoral, and non-degree-seeking students at UMSL. 

Typically, a student’s first contact with counseling services is with a therapist serving in a consultant role who will collaboratively determine how to best meet the student’s needs. Common outcomes of this consultation appointment are a referral to group therapy, being assigned an individual counselor for brief individual therapy, or being referred to a skills workshop. Because our recommendations are personalized and collaborative in nature, outcomes may also include referrals to a campus resource or a community provider for specialized treatment or long-term counseling.
