Initial Appointments

Details about initial appointments:  

  1. Consider taking our online mental health screening tool prior to your appointment. This anonymous screening covers areas of mental health, including depression, anxiety, academic distress, eating concerns, frustration level, family stress, and alcohol use. It can give you a starting point on what to focus on during treatment. *This screening is not required to attend your first appointment. 
  2. Initial appointments are held in person.  
  3. Please arrive 20-30 minutes prior to your appointment start time to complete some paperwork.
  4. Initial appointments are approximately 30 minutes. You and your clinician will develop a personalized care plan to fit your needs.
If you are seeking a mandated appointment (by court referral or the WVU Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities for a conduct violation), contact the Student Assistance Program (SAP) - alcohol & other drug program - by calling 304-293-4431. Online scheduling is not available for SAP appointments.
