Counseling Center

The Counseling Center can help you address academic, relational, social, emotional, and other concerns you may face in college.  Whether it be mental health issues like depression and anxiety, academic issues such as time management and study skills, or adjustment issues such as the transition to college, roommate problems, and homesickness, we are prepared to help you through one-on-one counseling or group counseling.

Embedded Counselors are also available to offer you counseling services within the department or college they serve. In so doing, they are able to better understand your unique needs. You can meet with an Embedded Counselor for a Let’s Talk session, a 15-minute casual conversation where we’ll help you find the right resources for your mental health and success at Illinois.
