Accessing services

To access counseling services, you may make an appointment by calling 330-972-7082 or in person at Simmons Hall 306. You can usually be seen for an intake session within several days of the first contact. If you request a particular counselor, you may have a longer wait. In case of emergency, you can be seen with minimal delay.

On the day of your intake, you will need to present your UA student ID to ensure that you are a currently enrolled student.  The counselor will obtain background information from you to determine the appropriateness of services at our Center, then assign you to a counselor on staff and/or make a referral to another service on or off campus.
