Licensed mental health professionals are available to assist all students with any personal issues that may prevent educational success and or personal well-being. Counseling services are provided in a confidential, positive and supportive environment. Our goal is that students feel free to voice their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and become empowered to pursue their personal and educational goals. We offer individual, couple (if both parties are enrolled as students), and unlimited group sessions. Individual sessions are limited. Counseling services are free to all credit pursuing students.

Please call 382-1652 or stop in room 1227 on our Rock Springs campus to make an appointment. Counseling sessions are also available online through the Uwill platform. Get started by scanning the QR code below:
