Request a Counseling Appointment
Counseling services are free to all qualifying students at Saint Louis University, including those in full-time, part-time, graduate, law, and medical programs. Services to online students/remote learners are governed, and at times limited, by practice standards and laws of each state. We offer SLU students a variety of treatment options to meet your needs:
- The University Counseling Center offers traditional, scheduled, in-person and virtual appointments.
- Our 24/7 behavioral health nurse triage line remains available for immediate student consultation anytime by calling 314-977-8255 and pressing option 9.
- For students who prefer the convenience of telehealth appointments, you may access our contracted telehealth company (MDLive) for scheduled counseling sessions. SLU pays most of the cost for this service, and students only pay a $15 session fee, with no additional billing to insurance. Call 314-977-8255, press option 9 and ask to schedule a virtual appointment with an MDLive counselor.
- Students who prefer to discuss personal issues by messaging are encouraged to text “HOME” to 741741 to access a counselor for on-demand assistance.
- For students who prefer to meet with an off-campus counselor, you may contact our care manager for help finding a local referral.
