ABOUT THE WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY COUNSELING CENTER
UCC Mission: The University Counseling Center is committed to the mental health and wellbeing of all members of the university community. We strive to facilitate growth and enhance understanding of self and others by providing culturally responsive clinical services to our students, prevention-based education and outreach to our community, and specialized training and supervision to emerging mental health professionals.
Comprised of 10 licensed mental health professionals, two doctoral psychology interns, two master’s level counseling interns, and two administrative staff, the WFU Counseling Center is positioned to provide excellent care to the university community. The staff of the WFU Safe Office - dedicated to providing prevention and response services for issues of sexual violence - also work closely with the UCC staff. The UCC is known across the university for being highly collaborative with other areas and offices. UCC enjoys particularly close partnerships with the Student Health Service, Learning Assistance Center & Disability Services, Office of the Chaplain, Dean of Students, and Residence Life & Housing.
Our clinicians are encouraged to seek opportunities to creatively develop partnerships to broaden the impact of our focus on wellbeing. This includes opportunities to serve on interdisciplinary teams including: Eating Assessment and Treatment Team, Culture of Respect Initiative, Campus Assessment, Response, and Evaluation Team (CARE Team), Alcohol and Other Drug Coalition, Assessment Committee, ADHD Clinic, and Crisis Management Team.
Professional staff are also supported to seek out their own professional development and clinical trainings, most or all of which are often financially supported by the university. Leadership opportunities within the UCC and across the university are available, and service to local and national organizations is encouraged. The costs associated with individual professional liability policies and licensure fees are also covered by the university. Staff are also provided comprehensive health benefits, generous paid time off, opportunities to practice wellbeing.
