University Counseling Center

 

In order to effectively support USU’s mission to take proactive safety measures related to Coronavirus (Covid-19), the USU Counseling Center will be providing care using Telehealth services until further notice. We will accomplish this using Google Hangouts which is available to every student using their USU G-Mail account. Non-students may use a personal G-Mail account. In order to effectively use Google Hangouts, we require you to be in a safe environment (ex: no moving vehicles) where you feel that you can talk about private concerns in a confidential manner (ex: no busy public spaces). We will ask for a physical address in case there is any type of emergency that we would need to respond to.

We are accepting new patients through this system using the calendar links located below. If you already have an appointment scheduled and would like to keep your scheduled appointment using Google Hangouts, you do not need to do anything further. If you do not wish to receive care using this model, feel free to cancel your appointment. If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to us at usucounselingcenter@usuhs.edu.

If this is an urgent matter please proceed to the nearest Emergency department or call 911.
