Staff

We have multiple options when it comes to providers. Come visit the UNI Counseling Center and explore the support we offer!

Whether you're looking for short-term help or ongoing care, we’re here for you. If you choose to continue services with a staff therapist, students will be asked to provide insurance information as these services will be billed. If clinically appropriate, you may also be referred to one of our graduate interns or practicum students.

The UNI Counseling Center is also a proud training site for our second- and third-year graduate students, who offer high-quality, confidential counseling services to all UNI students completely free of charge, for as long as you need.
