The first step
towards receiving counseling services from the UCC is usually to
set up an appointment for an intake interview. You can do this by
calling our receptionist at 631-7336 between 9:00 A.M. and 5:00
P.M. Monday through Friday. They will provide you with an intake
appointment, usually scheduled within the next 3-5 days. It's normal
to feel nervous making this phone call - but our receptionists will
put you right at ease.
When you first visit
the UCC, plan to come 15 minutes early. Come to the Health Services
Building, and walk up the stairs or take the elevator to the third
floor and turn right - and check in with our receptionist at the
reception area at the end of the hall. You will be given some
short forms to read and complete on a private computer, which
will let you know what to expect and will allow you to provide
some information about yourself for your intake counselor. During
the appointment your intake counselor will come to a better understanding
of your concerns and how the UCC may be of most help to you. At
the end of this first appointment, you and your intake counselor
will select a plan which best meets your needs (e.g. , individual
counseling, group therapy, one session only, or a referral to
another office). After you leave your appointment, congratulate
yourself for making this important step in your life!
