First Time Visit for Counseling

Our staff, comprised of licensed clinical professionals, is available to assist students in managing academic and personal demands more effectively. All services are confidential.

We offer brief initial evaluation on a walk-in basis for students seeking counseling or psychological services for the first time at UNC or after several month hiatus. Walk-in anytime from 9am-12:00pm or 1pm-4pm M-F.

From that brief evaluation the therapist and the student determine what the next best steps for that student will be.

This could include

• Referral to a service which would promote balance and thriving
• Brief individual psychotherapy with a CAPS therapist
• Extended individual psychotherapy with a community provider
• Group psychotherapy within or outside of CAPS
• Couples therapy
• Psychiatric medication evaluation or management
• Academic intervention

We strive to help the distressed student rebalance themselves to the point that they can continue developing skills to maintain their own ongoing developmental balance in the context of the greater social, political and ecological systems.
