When you first call the counseling center at 303.871.2205 (7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday), the front desk staff will make an appointment for you for an Initial Consultation. Please tell the front desk staff if you are experiencing an emergency and need to be seen immediately. The counseling center strives to provide services in a timely and consistent manner. However, during peak times of the year (e.g., mid term examinations and finals), it may take longer than a few days to receive an appointment for an initial consultation.  Students, faculty, staff, or parents who are concerned about a student or desire consultation or assistance in making a referral are encouraged to call the center.
