The University Counseling Center (UCC) is comprised of generalist mental health professionals (licensed professional counselors and psychologists) who provide short-term clinical assessment, consultation, and counseling/ psychotherapy for Wake Forest University students. The UCC’s model of care allows us to support and treat students for the majority of their concerns. Generally, the UCC offers face-to-face modalities of counseling for students:
- when the UCC’s short-term, goal-focused counseling approach is likely to be effective,
- when the frequency and number of appointments based on assessed student need can be accommodated by the UCC, and
- when the student is freely choosing to access treatment.
