Counselors at UMR are highly trained, licensed counselors.
Mental health issues can impact physical health, emotional imbalance, cognition and processing speed, interpersonal relationships and academic performance. Counselors are here to help students learn ways to cope and manage mental and emotional challenges.
Counseling is provided via zoom and in-person. Counseling services are free for all enrolled UMR students and there are no limits on the number of counseling sessions a student may have.
College can be an exciting time, but it is not without its challenges. Students may experience uncertainty and stress as they navigate their way ahead. We are committed to meeting the emotional and mental health needs of students to help support overall well-being.
