You Are Welcome Here
To schedule a first appointment with a clinician at Counseling Services, call 978-934-6800 during regular business hours to speak with one of our friendly staff. Initial consults are only scheduled for the same day or next business day, so please call for an appointment when you have time for a session.
First appointments last approximately 25 minutes and are in-person only. You will be required to arrive 20 minutes prior to your scheduled time to complete necessary forms at a Wellness Center kiosk. During the appointment, your clinician will discuss your concerns and goals and together you will make a plan for next steps. Possible options for next steps include group therapy, brief individual therapy, referrals to community mental health providers, or referrals to other campus offices.
If you are an existing client of UMass Lowell Counseling Services, please call the Wellness Center and ask to schedule a follow up appointment with your current clinician.
