Counseling Center
The Counseling Center is a professional counseling office within Student Affairs and Services. We provide counseling, outreach programs, and related services for UC students and those concerned about their welfare. We help students address and resolve personal issues so that they can make the most of their educational opportunities at the university.
We are open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Most of our services are by appointment, but we also offer an urgent care walk-in service from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. We are closed for University holidays.
We will be closed for the month of June due to our relocation to Crosley Tower (see below).
NOTICE
THE COUNSELING CENTER IS MOVING!!
The Counseling Center is moving to Crosley Tower, 12th floor, on or around June 11, 2012. Crosley is a temporary location; we will move to our new permanent space around the middle of 2013. Our phone number (513-556-0648) and mail location (0034) will not change.
Due to the move, we will be closed the month of June. Please keep checking our website (www.uc.edu/counseling) for updated information, including the reopening date, directions to our new location, etc.
If you need counseling and have Student Health Insurance, you can go to University Health Services for mental health services. If you do not have Student Health Insurance, you can contact your insurance provider for a list of approved mental health professionals in the area. If you have no insurance or your insurance does not include mental health treatment, see the list of community providers below.
NOTE:
If you have an emergency during the month of June, you can:
1) Call the Crisis Line, where there are counselors available 24 hours a day. That number is 281-CARE or 281-2273.
2) If you are an existing patient of one of our physicians and have an urgent question or concern about your medication, please call 729-5211 to reach the covering physician.
3) You can also call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
