Individual counseling services are available at WRAC. Counseling is provided by University of Iowa students, who are doing their internships at WRAC as part of their PhD program in Counseling Psychology.
If you need counseling services, please call us at (319) 335-1486, or visit our Counseling web page to sign up for an intake appointment. You will be asked for some basic information, including how the counselor can contact you to set up an initial appointment. All information you provide will be kept confidential.
We will also be happy to assist you by providing referrals to individual therapists and/or counseling services on the UI campus and/or in the Iowa City area. We do have a list of counselors who are in private practice.
Things to consider when selecting a mental health provider: Be realistic; acknowledge that every person you meet may not instantly be a good fit. Give it a chance. But if something about the therapist makes you uncomfortable, keep looking.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
*Feeling comfortable and safe
*Feeling Heard and Understood
*Getting your needs met; discovering, understanding, self awareness, learning your options...
Below we have listed resources that are based in nonprofit organizations. We can assist you in identifying options that best fit your needs.
