Students come to therapy to discuss many different issues. For some students, the problem is recent or related to a current situation. For others, the problem has been present for a long time.
Individual therapy is an opportunity to talk with a mental health clinician about your concerns and to work on particular issues that you and your clinician agree upon. Sessions generally last about 50 minutes. There is a limit of 10 sessions per year (August - August).
Frequent issues students talk about when they come to therapy are:
Experiences of oppression, discrimination, prejudice
Poor concentration, difficulty focusing
Questions about identity
Body image concerns
Adjustment to college, graduate/professional school, new life situations
Grief
Trauma
Uncertainty about choice of major or career
At the UK Counseling Center, we generally work within a brief therapy model. This means that most students experience positive change within 5-7 sessions. Some students may be seen only for a few sessions, and some students may be seen slightly more than average. You and your therapist will decide together how many sessions are appropriate to address your concerns and what other services will be helpful to you.
We are committed to serving the student body as a whole and recognize that different students have different needs, which is why we have many ways of offering therapy services, including groups and workshops. If you are interested in seeing the same therapist in individual therapy for a long period of time (semester to semester), we can assist you in locating therapy resources in the community.
To get started, contact TRACS (Triage, Referral, Assistance, and Crisis Support) for an initial appointment and referral for individual therapy at the Counseling Center.
Information workshops are provided on multiple topics to continue the growth of the SSS participant throughout their time at UK. These workshops provide students with great information in a short amount of time.

International Coaching Federation Certified Coaches
We strive to provide the highest quality coaching to our students. That is why all of our coaches are certified or seeking certification by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). The ICF credential is the only globally recognized professional certification. All of our coaches complete the University of Kentucky's ICF accredited 60-125 hour training, hundreds of hours of coaching and continuous mentor coaching to maintain their ICF certification.
For most college students, this is their first experience with coaching. Here are a few videos of a typical coaching session to help you know what to expect.

How should I prepare for a coaching appointment?
If you are meeting with a coach virtually:
Be in a quiet, distraction-free place. We talk about grades and academics often during coaching sessions, and that information is confidential.
We ask that you meet inside. When students meet virtually with us outside, wind, noise, and other distractors make it difficult to hear.
Keep your camera on if possible. Both students and coaches get more out of a session when the camera is on.
If you log-in and you are not in an appropriate place for a coaching session, your coach may ask you to reschedule. For example, we will not meet with you if you are in a loud, nonprivate space like the dining hall or driving in a car.
For both in-person and virtual:
We are often booked several weeks in advance. If you cancel or no-show, you may not be able to get back in for several weeks, so be on-time and cancel only if absolutely necessary.
Are you a student having trouble making an appointment?
Coaching is a very popular service and appointments typically book at least two weeks in advance. If you try to schedule and can't find an opening or are having trouble making an appointment for any reason, please contact us and we will get back to you via email, call, and/or text within 2 business days.
Drop in to Let's Talk for a brief, confidential, one-on-one conversation with a Counseling Center clinician!
Let's Talk provides easy access to informal, confidential conversations with clinicians from the UK Counseling Center.
No appointment necessary.
In-person at locations around campus.
Open to all University of Kentucky undergraduate, graduate and professional students.
Let’s Talk is an informal conversation. Let’s Talk is not counseling.
Disclaimer:
Although Let's Talk clinicians are mental health professionals, Let's Talk conversations do not constitute mental health treatment.
Limits to confidentiality- When there is an immediate threat of harm to you or others, Let's Talk clinicians are required by law to report this. When a minor, elderly person, or someone otherwise incapacitated is being abused, Let's Talk clinicians are also required by law to report this.
If your Let's Talk clinician assesses that you could benefit from a higher level of care, every effort will be made to refer you to appropriate resources at the university and/or in the community.

POWER offers Mental Health and Stress Reduction offerings throughout the semester. Follow the link above to register for upcoming programs or training sessions. For further information regarding Mental Health and Stress Reduction resources, or to request a customized program or service, email POWER at: power.uky@uky.edu.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a six-hour hybrid training designed to give participants the skills to help someone developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The course uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to recognize and respond to the warning signs and symptoms of a mental illness or emotional crisis.
The course is tailored specifically for University cultures to include:
A discussion of campus culture and its relevance to mental health.
A discussion of the specific stress and risk factors the higher education population faces.
Application of the action plan in several scenarios explicitly designed for campus community members.
A review of the mental health resources on campus and community partners.
WHY MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID?
Mental Health First Aid helps participants understand that mental illnesses and substance use disorders are real, common, and treatable and that it is okay to seek help. Research indicates this program's effectiveness in improving knowledge of mental illness and substance use, removing fear and misunderstanding, and enabling those trained to offer concrete assistance. Mental Health First Aid is proven effective and listed in SAMHSA's registry of evidence-based programs and practices.
HOW DO I REGISTER FOR A MHFA TRAINING?
The POWER unit offers several trainings for students, faculty, and staff throughout the semester.
This blended learning course allows participants to take a 2-hour online course before the 6-hour virtual training. Participants MUST register in advance to ensure they have time to complete the 2-hour online course, or they will not be permitted to attend the virtual training. Registration for the training closes one week before the virtual training date. All seats are purchased in advance through the MHFA platform; therefore, refunds are not permitted. Any course changes must be submitted 72 hours before the virtual training date. Participants must attend the full eight-hour training to receive the certification.
COURSE OFFERINGS
Course offerings for the Fall 2024 Semester: TBD
Individuals wanting to complete MHFA training, please register using the above link. MHFA offerings from POWER are only available to the University of Kentucky community (i.e., current students, faculty, and staff). Individual offerings are subject to be canceled if fewer than 8 participants register.
Departments with twelve or more individuals wanting to be trained can request a MHFA Request Training Form for your team members. To request a team training form, contact POWER at power.uky@uky.edu. with possible dates, cost center, and approximate attendee number. Training costs $30 per person, including the 3-year MHFA certification.
IMPORTANT UKY Employees: The University does not permit pro cards or reimbursements using personal credit cards.
HOW DOES MHFA DIFFER FROM QUESTION, PERSUADE, REFER (QPR)?
POWER and the UK Counseling Center offer ongoing QPR classes intended to teach participants three steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. QPR is a free, 60–90-minute suicide prevention training that teaches participants how to recognize a suicide crisis and how to get help.
WHY BOTH? Mental Health First Aid is a great starting point due to the comprehensive approach covering the basics of a broad spectrum of situations you might encounter, while trainings like QPR, Working Minds, and Safe2Tell can give you more specific resources for suicide prevention.
QPR
QPR is a one-hour suicide prevention training for students, staff, and faculty to recognize the warning signs of suicide and question, persuade, and refer people at risk for suicide for help. POWER will host in-person sessions at the Gatton Student Center throughout the semester. Details for the training are listed on the POWER BBNvolved Upcoming Events tab above.
For those seeking departmental or organizational in-person training requests, contact Lizzie Finley at elizabeth.finley@uky.edu.
How can I register to take self-paced QPR training online?
Training information appears on this page after successful registration. A copy of the information is sent to the registered email address.

Koru Mindfulness is an evidence-based program specifically designed with college students in mind to help reduce stress and anxiety while also increasing one's sleep and self-compassion.

Focuses on learning various types of writing: reflective, expressive, spontaneous, contemplative, and more. Members are not required to read from their journal or to have a daily practice. Perfect for those individuals wanting to see what all the talk about Koru is, as well as participants who have completed a Koru course but are looking for instructor-led opportunities to continue their mindfulness practice.
KORU Retreat
A half-day silent mindfulness retreat for students, faculty, and staff wanting to try an immersive mindfulness experience.
Because of a staffing transtion in POWER mindfullness sessions for Fall 2024 are TBD. For specific quetions regarding offering, please email Kim Rufra.
Mental health programming is a community intervention that helps support students who may not traditionally utilize individual or group therapy services. It can also serve as a preventative measure by educating students on ways to maintain their mental wellbeing. Groups who could benefit from programming include students with minoritized or marginalized identities, students who may be at higher risk of facing barriers to their academic and personal successes, students who may experience stigma about help seeking, students who may need support but not necessarily therapy, and students who may want to help a friend.
We are happy to discuss your needs. Please use the link below to make a request.

There are times when stress, anxiety, overwhelm or trauma are more than we can cope or manage. This can lead us to feel that there are no options available, and we may consider suicide. It is common for people to have thoughts of suicide at some time in their life. Research shows that 1 in 10 college students report having thoughts about suicide at some time during the previous year.
If you are having thoughts of suicide, please reach out now by calling 859-218-7227, walking into the TRACS office or complete this form and someone will reach out to you.
If you are at immediate risk of hurting yourself or someone else, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Special Note
Note that in certain cases, including instances related to abuse and violence, university staff and faculty members are legally required to report information shared with them and cannot maintain complete confidentiality in those situations. However, the staff in the TRACS (Triage, Referral, Assistance, and Crisis Support) Hub, Counseling Center, and VIP (Violence Intervention and Prevention) Center can provide private and confidential resources. This means that if a client seeks support from one of these three units and discloses information in the process of receiving counseling, advocacy, or other professional services, the staff are generally not required to make a report.
All other units within Student Success are staffed by mandated reporters.

Positive Roommate Relationships and Conflict Resolution
Your enjoyment of residence hall living depends largely on the consideration you and your roommate(s) show each other. If there is one factor that is the most important determinant of roommate success, that factor is communication.
Roommate Agreements
Roommates need to communicate with each other. An ideal opportunity for this communication exists at the beginning of the year, when residence hall staff distributes the Roommate Agreement forms. These agreements initiate discussion of issues that commonly cause conflict between roommates, such as hours for sleep and study, use of the stereo and TV, guests, etc. We highly recommend that you take the time to talk over these issues with your roommate(s) as the year begins in order to avoid future difficulties. Please consult your Resident Advisor (RA) or Resident Director (RD) for help with this process.

Tips to Be a Great Roommate
Share Expectations
Misunderstood academic, living and social expectations are often a source of roommate conflict. Being open and honest while establishing your Roommate Agreement will provide a foundation for a healthy roommate relationship. Start thinking about things like:
What time do I like to go to sleep/wake up?
Do I prefer a clean area or am I ok with clutter?
What room responsibilities would I be comfortable dividing?
Consider Lifestyles
Communicating your preferred lifestyle and being understanding and respectful of your roommate's lifestyle will prevent a lot of headaches. The majority of first-year students have part-time jobs and/or are part of a campus organization. This can create varying quiet and active times in the room, but discussing and respecting another's schedule creates healthy and open communications. Reflect on your personal life to prep for the roommate agreement:
What do I do in my free time?
What am I most looking forward to this year?
Give Quiet Time
It is important to consider your academic success, as well as your roommate's. Not communicating appropriate expectations of quiet times can cause frustrations and lead to an unpleasant living environment. When discussing your Roommate Agreement, consider topics like:
When is it too late to be loud in the room?
When should I use headphones?
What are appropriate visitor days and hours?
Be a Great Teammate
Because sharing a space with others can be a growth experience, thinking about each other as a teammate can help establish common ground. A great teammate puts in effort to make a respectful living community and holds themselves accountable. To start the year well, consider the answers to these questions:
What do I believe are important qualities of a roommate?
How will I be a good roommate and teammate?
Reflect on Expectations
Lifestyles and personal expectations can impact how close you and your roommate become. Remember, great roommates are not always best friends and best friends are not always great roommates. A roommate can help create an environment that enhances your University experience. But, that can take collaboration and compromise. Your RAs will be available to answer any questions that you have, and to guide you through a successful year in your residence hall!
Room Change Process
If you feel a room change is necessary, the first step is to discuss it with your Resident Advisor (RA). They can guide you through the process and connect you with your Resident Director (RD) for further assistance. Room change requests are considered on a case-by-case basis, keeping in mind cleaning protocols and availability.
For any further inquiries, please contact the Campus Housing Office at ukhousing@uky.edu or call us at 859-257-1866. We’re here to ensure your residence hall experience is positive, comfortable, and conducive to your success at UK.
