The UIC Counseling Center is a primary mental health resource providing services that foster personal, interpersonal, academic, and professional thriving for UIC students. We offer accessible and culturally sensitive mental health services including individual, group, and couples therapy, psychiatry and integrative medicine services, as well as mind/body services, outreach workshops and programming, and peer-peer support group training. Consultations are available to faculty, staff, students, parents, and others concerned about the well-being of a UIC student. Issues commonly addressed through brief individual or group counseling include:

  • Mood or self-esteem issues such as depression, anxiety, body image concerns, social anxiety, self-defeating behaviors.
  • Academic-related issues such as struggles with motivation, perfectionism, interpersonal communication, self-discipline.
