Looking for mental health support that includes psychiatric care? Come visit the UNI Counseling Center to explore the services we offer with our experienced PMHNP team.

Our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners provide evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management for students in need of psychiatric care. Whether you're starting care or continuing treatment, our team is here to support your mental health journey.

If ongoing medication management is recommended, students will be asked to provide insurance information as these services are billed. We’ll work with you to ensure your care fits your needs.

Please note: In order to prescribe ADHD medication, we require documentation of psychological testing completed within the past three years. For more information about this requirement and how to access testing, please contact our mental health case coordinator.
