Urgent or After Hours Access

A Staff therapist of the Psychological Counseling Services is always on call when school is in session. When the Health Center is open (8:30 am - 9:00 pm weekdays and 1:00 pm - 8:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays), the on-call counselor can be reached by calling the Health Center at ext. 2206. After hours, you can access the on-call therapist by dialing Campus Safety at ext. 4444 and giving a number where the therapist can call you back. You don't need to give your name or any details of your situation to the dispatcher, just a phone number. The therapist will return that call in a timely fashion.
