Make a Counseling Appointment

Looking to talk to professionals who understand LGBTQIA+ and other diverse experiences?

All of your identities are important and welcome in Counseling Services. Multicultural Counseling is designed for students who have been historically underrepresented and aims to reduce barriers for you to access and navigate Counseling Services.

What are Multicultural Drop-In Hours?

All students can access the general drop-in hours offered at Counseling Services on Mondays through Fridays. Students who identify as people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and/or have a disability also can access Multicultural Counseling Drop-In Hours. These times are reserved for you to meet with one of our Multicultural Counseling Team members, who specialize in working with students from diverse backgrounds. These appointments are brief and are designed to help students: access counseling services, process personal conflict, work on identity specific concerns, and/or seek guidance from a mental health professional with a marginalized identity.

Learn more about Multicultural Counseling.

Tuesdays - Thursdays from 1:00 - 4:00 PM at the Health Network

Call 970-491-6053 and let them know you would like to schedule a multicultural counseling drop-in appointment, or go to the 3rd floor desk in the Health Network.

Note: Students in need of mental health crisis intervention can also call Counseling Services at (970) 491-6053.
