The UCC offers a variety of culturally responsive mental health services to a large and diverse student body utilizing a personalized care model. We understand that, to some trans and gender non-conforming students, working with a clinician that shares one or more of their identities is key to promoting a sense of safety. To others, it is important to work with a clinician whose identities are different from their own. When possible, we do our best to honor these requests in service of student growth.

In addition to individual therapy, the UCC offers self-help tools (TAO), Let’s (Tele) Talk, and a virtual therapy group to support LGBTQIA+ students: Everyone But the Kitchen Sink. Please visit our Group Counseling Page to learn more.
