Counseling Center

Welcome!

The UWB Counseling Center offers short-term (up to 6 sessions) mental health counseling free of charge to UW Bothell and Cascadia College students registered in the current quarter. We provide mental health-related services to facilitate students’ adjustment to college and their personal and psychological growth. 

Services we offer

• Individual counseling – 45-minute intake appointment followed by 6 sessions per academic year. If pre-determined, you may use Telehealth services with our HIPAA-certified Zoom link.

• Couples counseling – 45-minute intake appointment followed by 6 sessions per academic year. Couple counseling sessions focus on relationship concerns. Both partners must be students at UW Bothell or Cascadia College and enrolled in the current quarter. Couples counseling must be attended in-person and both partners must be present.

• Crisis consultation – 30-minute session for students experiencing crisis/urgent concerns. Students can walk-in and ask for an appointment.
