All of our services are free and confidential, protected by law and ethical standards. Whatever your concerns, a confidential conversation with a Center clinician is a good place to start. Below are some of the options available to you through the Well-Being Center.

Due to licensing laws, you must be physically located in Washington, DC (not Maryland or Virginia) at the time of your appointment. If you need a private space in the center for your virtual appointment, arrangements can be made when scheduling your appointment. Please note that if you have not reserved a space in the Center prior to your appointment, we cannot guarantee a space is available for you. In addition, you must show a photo ID at the start of your appointment.

Individual & Group Therapy

The Well-Being Center can provide up to 6-8 sessions of weekly individual therapy per academic year. Many students find that their concerns can be addressed in these sessions. However, the Well-Being Center is an outpatient clinic and may refer a student off-campus for the most appropriate care to best meet their needs. 

Group therapy is unlimited so long as there is space in the group and you remain a good fit for this treatment modality.

The first step is attend an initial consultation. You can schedule an Initial Consultation by calling 202-885-3500 or by visiting MGC 214. Please arrive in the viritual waiting room (https://aucc.doxy.me/) at your appointed time. The first 30 minutes of your appointment is allocated for paperwork completion. If you arrive more than 15 minutes past your appointed time, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment. Please allocate 90 minutes total for your Initial Consultation appointment.

Please note, same day appointments are not available.
