If this is your first appointment since July 1, schedule your Initial Consultation (IC) at the link below or call (859) 257-8701 (8 am - 4:30 pm, M - F for appointments).

Students may prefer to start at TRACS (Triage, Referral, Assistance, and Crisis Support), especially if Counseling Center appointments are not available: https://studentsuccess.uky.edu/tracs

IC appointments are provided via telehealth using Zoom. If you prefer a phone or in-person session or need technology or a private space for your appointment, please call the Counseling Center after scheduling your appointment.  

The IC appointment lasts about 25 minutes and focuses on your current concerns and history of those concerns, coping skills and resources, and goals. Your clinician will provide information about helpful resources and services at the end of the session.
